It's kind of hilarious to call 2 single words at the end of a blogpost that you could have read over "pushing politics down your throat". As you said, you didn't even have an idea what it meant. For all you knew before you looked it up, he was complaining about the frigid winter weather.
Would you really make the same argument if those two words were “White power!” or something?
Hey it’s only the first week of February - isn’t it a bit early to be vying for most egregious example of a false equivalence?
Programmers are curious by nature. So it's not 2 words; it's 2 words + wikipedia article + news articles about it, just to know what he's writing about. All uncalled for.
Be a little more curious then, friend. The author lives in Portland, which has been experiencing federal brutalization for months. Same place where the feds are repeatedly violating standards for warfare by using chemical munitions on civilians and engaging in large-scale misinformation campaigns against immigrants.
It’s almost astonishing how you found his statement “uncalled for”, while neglecting these facts.

To be honest, I am more concerned about the Iranian government killing its own people.
Iran has already killed half as many people as the estimated casualties in the Israel-Palestine war.
Not everything revolves around USA.
