Open Source projects are weaponizing leftist politics to suppress alternatives

A curious trend has been becoming more and more prevalent during the last year or two in the Open Source communities. And that's the weaponization of far-leftism in order to try to suppress competing projects.

In other words: For examples if some big Open Source project wants to upgrade or replace some older project with a more modern and "better" new version, or if such a project is essentially in a competition with another similar project on who gains more popularity, they are starting to weaponize far-leftism to try to smear, discredit and make a pariah of the other project. And they do this, of course, by throwing all their favorite pet buzzword insults at the other project, like "racist", "fascist", "nazi" and so on.

I already wrote before about how the people developing the Wayland project have gone to incredible lengths to try to kill the previous big software platform that Wayland is trying to replace (ie. X.org) by completely stopping updating and fixing it, even going so far as to just outright rejecting hundreds and hundreds of pull requests that have been made by volunteers. And when someone just went and created a fork of the X.org project, applied all the fixes and improvements to it, and published it under another name (Xlibre), what do you know, the Wayland project weaponized far-leftism to try to kill that fork as well, ie. they started smearing the author and the project by throwing all their pet insults at him.

Unfortunately this isn't the only example. There are actually several others.

One of them is Framework Computer, which is a computer manufacturer. For some reason the GNOME project has a beef with them, and what do you know, they are weaponizing far-leftism in order to try to kill them too, by throwing all their favorite insults at them.

This is becoming more and more common in the Open Source community: Want to kill another competing project, or any project you don't like? Just throw insults at them and hope that people and companies become too scared to deal with them.
