Most original "hacker" (1980s, 1990s) and open source people are quietly right wing anyway.

Maybe, but the fundamental ideas of sharing knowledge/software and preventing corporate control of technology is far more left wing than right wing.

Left vs right distinction is not accurate nor does help us to reflect the reality of our current world any more.

Fascism and authoritarianism can come in both left, right, color, sizes, sex and age.
