Same. I'm not saying OP is doing this at all, but in the last few years a common Conservative refrain has been "why they gotta bring politics into this?" Which seems like a perfectly reasonable complaint on the surface, until one realizes that what they really mean is "I'm offended when mildly confronted with the possibility that my worldview may not be fair to those not like me". Or, "How dare those marginalized groups remind me that they're marginalized?"

I can see that the addition of what may be possible social commentary to the EFF's mission may rub some the wrong way, but I can't see a meaning in which "for all the people of the world" is some coded message for a "woke agenda" or whatever. What about that addendum is political? Should the EFF only support "freedom, justice, and innovation" for some people of the world? For some, the assumption that "no, of course it means all people" is a certain naivety that reminds me of not understanding what "all lives matter" actually means.
