Re: [pygame] Do you support The #Python Software Foundation making a statement in support of peace?



I don't think "well that's how we've always done it" is ever a good reason for anything. Let's debate on the issue itself. If we want to argue that we shouldn't make statements on things outside of software, then argue for that.

And anyway, it's factually inaccurate: the PSF has commented on political affairs. Let me quote https://twitter.com/ThePSF/status/1267591714925133825

> The time for silence is long past. The Python Software Foundation stands in solidarity with the Black community. #BlackLivesMatter

The silence on the Iraq war is indeed regrettable and in the past. So the PSF changed. I would not like to see a new phase of silence in the PSF start.

I wanted to vote on this but Twitter said, "You’re unable to view this Tweet because this account owner limits who can view their Tweets."


So... what's the point of having a poll?


Anyway, my feeling is "no" toward the "PSF making a statement in support of peace".


As Herve said, there's a lot of hypocrisy toward the PSF suddenly making a statement right now. As if the PSF has suddenly become ethical.


If we go down this path of making statements about matters that are outside of software, then I have a passionate list of things that I'd like the PSF to come out and make statements for. Please, just ask.
