Hey,

I wouldn't go as far as saying that Rust is political, as in 
encourages users to donate to a certain party/candidate, they are 
just heavily invested in social issues outside of programming. 
Some of these social issues I agree with, whilst others I do not.

What I am trying to say is that many of these issues people do 
not think the same, so it can create arguments in the community.
