I disagree with the words you've chosen, but I think others are missing the sentiment. Most of us understand there is a level of politics involved in making free software. The problem many software communities are facing is unnecessary purity tests. The mission of the GNOME desktop environment does not include protesting U.S. I.C.E. enforcement.
Immature take. Everything is political, or everything is affected by politics. If you say "we shouldn't discuss politics in _____ space" then you are simply supporting the status quo. In this case, the status quo is fascis/nazi takeover of the biggest superpower (technologically, economically, and militarily) in the world, and as the article says, that is having direct effects on software. So it is political whether you "make it" that way or not.
AKA whether you want to be an adult about it, or not.
