This week I saw a sport journalist reprimanding those who say "sport should not involve itself with politics" (re: UEFA banning Israel) with the point that sport always was political.
And I just read a toot saying the same thing about software.
And I agree with both, cause everything is political, cause politics is just ideas and values and those are part of every action one takes.
