I've been lurking around here since ~2014 and I don't recall 
seeing any of that. Without a big corporate driver behind it D 
development is largely community-driven and I'm under the 
impression that the community is ideologically diverse enough 
that a substantial portion of us would get angry if the 
foundation used D to push a particular narrative or cause.

I stay away from Twitter and Reddit though so I wouldn't know 
what's going on there. Political discussion may occasionally 
happen during online BeerConfs but that's a different deal.
