Or the contrary, the kind of people finding this cool is usually the people you don't want in your community. Nice to have clarity about who doesn't want to even bother to deal with whom.
This is a terrible take. Just because your personal opinions / morals / values don't align with others in a community, doesn't automatically make you an asshole. If people can't handle others having differing opinions, they have some growing up to do and shouldn't be leading a community.
let me clarify the intent of my comment then. Human rights is not a "two-sides" issue to be debated. If you attempt to reduce an affirmation of human rights for all people to a "political agenda", I will call out your conservative dogwhistle. I don't care how that's received.
The type of people complaining about this are usually the people you don't want in your community to begin with, so I doubt Gleam is missing out here.

When one of those “differing opinions” is “you should be oppressed”, then yeah, that kind of does automatically make someone an asshole.

human rights are not politics
Every "right" is politics.
A set of "rights" comes from current law.
And Code of Law is an invention like everything else.

All open source projects are political by their very nature.
But not every open source project has a political agenda.
All open source projects have a political agenda. That's the purpose of the licence, to force certain behaviour.
