No, it's not. If you see everything through these political lense, you end up constantly in a us vs them mentality. Or a "you're either with us, or against us". I don't think it's healthy.

It really is. Hosting requires a server owned by a company or private individual located in a country. The goals of these companies/individuals and the pressures put on them by their countries are quite political - and as a result hosting becomes political.

That's not true. You can definitely think critically about the political context of things without being partizan about things.

Taking a stance does not mean you adopted an "us vs. them" mentality.

What a bonkers generalization.
