Yes, I really don't want to read about American politics when discussing operating systems and technology. It's already shoehorned into so many discussions that it no longer makes any sense.

A blog post talking about security but refusing to mention which operating was vulnerable to an exploit out of virtue signaling(?) is absurdist comedy.

If the author is referring to Omarchy, should we also stop using and mentioning Ruby on Rails? Preposterous.

I agree with your main point, and found it stupid that I had to search around to find what the hell was even being talked about directly. That said, the accusation of racism is about a Dane attending far-right British rallies, British anti-immigration protests, and saying things about deporting the populations of Muslims and Romani from Britain, Copenhagen, and Denmark. It doesn't make much sense to call the DHH racism issue "American politics".
