@djsumdog He does a semi annual talk called Linux Sucks, where he highlights the shortfalling of Linux and current trends in FOSS.

I've never seen him do anything that warrants whatever is currently happening.

He doesn't need to. It's about curating which voices are permitted to be influential.
I'm not even sure it's about his politics because I've seen the same happen to those on the "other side of the spectrum", just in a different way.
I am definitely concerned that "the community" seems to spend a suspiciously high amount of effort keeping out independent voices.

To reiterate it's not just those evil "right wing conspiracy theorists" even Aral got totally railroaded for saying maybe Fedora shouldn't ship with a broken screen reader for 8 years.

Back when I watched him, he openly said he didn't know what left or right meant. He seemed to lean more into the classical liberal side of things. He is even hated by the far-right because he openly claims to be Jewish and proud.

He always spoke out against Internet censorship (such as when TDS got shutdown back in 2017) and ridiculous CoCs. It seems like during the past few years he wrote a bunch of articles on woke, far-leftists subverting FOSS communities, including those who were hostile to those refusing the COVID vaccine. He also wrote about how the Linux Foundation's donations are going to WEF-adjacent causes.
