So by this logic, if your blog/commit logs doesn't contain:

* russia invaded ukraine

* vaccines work

* wear a mask

* black lives matter

* trans women are women

* abortion is a right

then you're a pro-russian, vaccine-denying, anti-mask, white supremacist, transphobic, misogynist?

No one said that. I'm saying that if you cannot answer which "side" you're on, but still engage in the discussion (and thus have knowledge / interest in the subject), it's obvious for everyone to see.

That's not what we were talking about though? In the context of this thread, we we talking about the behavior of open source projects, not people engaging in political debates.
