Given what happened with Brendab Eich its clear some organisations are more activist and polticial than tech. The recent history of npm's founder (and those at Joyent) suggests he will discriminate if he doesn't like your politics.
So why bother wasting time and effort trying to interview and get a job at such a politically charged environment?
We do not believe that our commitment to equality, inclusivity, and diversity constitutes a "politically charged environment".
Nevertheless, please feel free to not apply to this job if you worry that your politics would not be a good fit with the culture at npm.
I remain hopeful that we will manage to survive without your valuable contribution.
Thanks.

Isaac, you are my new hero. Seriously.
You know what? Don't even bother responding. You're gonna think you're clever, but you'll actually be responding with trite garbage that we've all heard, literally, hundreds of times before. People like you are climate change deniers, or creationists. You have tons of information and resources right in front of you, but you never bother to pay attention. Then suddenly you're the idiot asking why monkeys still existed if humans evolved from them.
Brendan Eich did not harass any of his colleagues yet he was forced out of his position because of his personal beliefs.
Maybe you should "get the fuck out of our industry" and focus on your fight for social justice. "People like you" are ruining the software industry.
And yes, Brandon Eich got run out of town because of his political beliefs. They ran contrary to the stated beliefs of the organization he was going to run. When you're the CEO of something as public as the Mozilla Foundation those sort of things will be scrutinized. If he was just running Brandon Eich Consulting, LLC no one would have thought twice about it.
