If you are tweeting about programming in a robotic manner while black people are being murdered by police, or while we rush towards a blue ocean event, you do have a hidden agenda.

Pretending that you can talk about the programming in a 'neutral' way is a radically political opinion. I get it, you actively and loudly don't want to discuss anything that isn't immediately interesting to you without making you have to question anything. But at the very least you have to concede that that itself is a strongly political statement.

What do you mean by “in a robotic manner”?

> ...you do have a hidden agenda.

What agenda? Why is it hidden?

> Pretending that you can talk about the programming in a 'neutral' way is a radically political opinion.

Why do you think that’s a political opinion? Why do you think it’s “radical”? What is it radical in relation to?

> I get it, you actively and loudly...

What do you mean by “actively and loudly” here?

> you... don't want to discuss anything that isn't immediately interesting to you

How do you know that? Do you know the GP?

> that itself is a strongly political statement.

What is?
