Secondly examining any existing subject in depth requires also understanding its context anyway. Politics and technology nowadays are very much intertwined and the politics of a society ultimately significantly affects what its technology looks like ([capitalist SW](capitalist_software.md), [censorship](censorship.md), [bloat](bloat.md), [spyware](spyware.md), [DRM](drm.md), ...), what goals it serves (consumerism, [productivity](productivity_cult.md), control, war, peace, ...) and how it is developed ([COCs](cos.md), [free software](free_software.md), ...), so studying technology ultimately requires understanding politics around it. I hate arguing about politics, sometimes it literally make me suicidal, but it is inevitable, we have to specify real-life goals clearly if we're to create good technology. Political goals guide us in making important design decisions about features, [tradeoffs](tradeoff.md) and other attributes of technology.
Thirdly society and computer programs are in many ways similar and we naturally see analogies between both the problems and the solutions.

Of course you can fork this wiki and try to remove politics from it, but I think it won't be possible to just keep the technology part alone so that it would still make sense, most things will be left without justification and explanation.

### How can you say you love all living beings and use offensive language at the same time?
Rather ask why you cannot do the same -- really, [think about it deeper](shortcut_thinking.md). Why are we forbidding "offensive" language? Maybe because in the spoiled mainstream culture offensive language implies aggression and threat, it may incite violence, encourage destruction and so on. In LRS culture this is in no way so, we practice [free speech](free_speech.md), i.e. we simply don't put on any masks or hide our thoughts from others, we are honest: if I think someone is stupid, why should I lie and say I think he is not stupid? (Keep in mind that staying silent may also be a form of lying and pretense.) This doesn't mean I can't love the individual -- if I couldn't love stupid beings, I couldn't love dogs and cats because they don't reach my level of intelligence, but I do love them. In LRS culture expressing disgust, frustration and strong disagreements doesn't at all mean hostility or an incentive to [fight](fight_culture.md) and destroy. Swearing and insults are an important way of expressing certain kinds of emotions and strong disagreement, we will not give up this tool, we have it and it's useful, so we will use it.
The culture of being offended is [bullshit](bullshit.md), it is a [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md) (fascist) invention that serves as a weapon to justify censorship, canceling and bullying of people. Since I love all people, I don't support any weapons against anyone (not even against people I dislike or disagree with). People are offended by language because they're taught to be offended by it by the propaganda, I am helping them unlearn it. [Political correctness](political_correctness.md) is one of the most retarded and toxic things to ever have been invented. Learn to separate being evil and being angry.
### But don't you think someone can misinterpret your politically incorrect speech for inciting violence, fascism etc.?
