I figured this would be the most reasonable solution. It's easy to
ignore these grown children and their political temper tantrums. Unless
they start forcing people to do certain things to have the right to use
their software, there is no use even paying attention to them and what
they say. Still, I would rather avoid anything these losers touch.

You're wrong. They WILL come after you. Project by project, they'll
come in, make their wedge demands and drive you out. It only has to
start with one accusation, one grievance. How many times do you have to
see projects come under attack before you learn you can't keep running
away?
You will be left with NO choices until you stop them.

If they can't infiltrate, they'll cancel.

That is why I've decided to fight back with money. I'm not rich, but I
figure that if the people donating to projects like KDE and LibreOffice
lean right and threaten to pull their support if some tranny attempts to
usurp a project, they might actually stick to the code rather than politics.
