It's a practical question to distill the essence of said technology. It's only through this framing that we can understand Bitcoins properties, pro-property rights, anti-censorship, meritocratic "proof of work" / anti-egalitarian... To be neutral is milquetoast, ineffective, and therefore worthless.
Emotional blackmail, that's all they have left.
Sure, but why do any of those have to be "left" or "right" "coded". Even the words these people use shows their political obsession. I never use words like left-coded or right-coded or even think those words. You must be super politically obsessed to think in those terms.

You have to be naive not to think like that, it's a virtue signal to insist you've transcended the laws of the universe.
Politics is downstream of the intersection of biology and spirituality... it's in all things, the yin and yang, the double helix in your DNA, universal expansion/contraction, chaos and order, the pendulum of time... whatever you want to call it, literally everything settles somewhere between a left-right spectrum. Balance is achieved only through oscillation.
Bitcoin, as a resistant immutable predictable thing, is on the order side of the chaos and order spectrum. Retarded as these people may be, they recognize the pendulum is swinging back against them.

I think that may be unique to American politics and the stranglehold of two party politics. But I may be naive to think that as I haven't really experienced politics in any other country.
