The "left" wants to police speech because they can't even handle a bad joke or unwanted attention(see the new CoC). This is why they are called snowflakes.

> small & reasonable actions

Changing the CoC is not small. A tech project taking a side in politics is not reasonable in my opinion.

Do you think politics needs to be an integral part of tech?

So they sound just about as sensitive on the right. The name seems to fit both. Get it?
