Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think they're talking about state level politics.

Maybe I’m missing some recent events but I’ve only heard or seen anything political in regard to state political leanings and especially “identity politics”.

Just feels weird to feel so strongly about that aspect of a programming language. If people held a principled view they’d be horrified of how militaries use anything and everything mainstream.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about the community politics. There has been plenty of drama around rust.
