It has always been. FOSS is by itself political, just beyond the basic binary logic of left/right.

Your apoliticism is a political instance as well. Take for instance this quoute from Desmond Tutu "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

I'm not saying you have to ditch Proton over their CEO's takes, my point is that thinking that everything suddenly became political is naive.

Nobody said trying to lead an ethical life was a vacation

Agree, but that's reality. People suck, world sucks, life sucks.

You don't have to change your lifestyle over whatever thing that <random person you don't know nor care about> decided to say today. It is not wrong to feel that way neither. But, IMO, being aware of that, or at least being open to learn about that stuff, helps a lot to being in peace with it, and eventually, could lead to a more ethical consumption without going to extremes.
