From my view, all software is political in some sense. And if a software claims that isn't political is a political statement in itself. And with the recent dubious statement from Linus in the Kernel of Linux. I think we should either think about it or discuss about it.

What is the political intention that is happening in this.

All feedback is welcomed.

kirby's adventure for the gameboy is so white washed i cant believe people cant just wake up and tell its about limitless consumerism greed by the white man invading lush green lands and terrorizing the inhabitants.

every call for the a button is a murdered [insert your political scapegoat here]

    post title: every line of code is political

    comment: the game kirby for gameboy has code written for it which polls the registers for the status of the button inputs

    reply: its a strawman (not) argument to give and example of very generic code to (not) showcase the absolutism of a statement that is all inclusive (every) to remove nuance from an argument.

    rere: nuance and also, how dare you hint that i want "to look smart". i want to look like a comment but now you made me blush

    //== ^.^ ==// the above comment is blushing
