This platform is usually dedicated to essential topics with a decisive impact on our lives (rare insect bats, species of reptiles, and more), but after the mention of the new government here, I received several responses, which shared the question-claim: why bring politics into it? The first ones were phrased inappropriately and I ignored them, but the later ones were substantive and even personal, so I will respond here.

I do not bring politics into it.
More precisely, I do not mix political positions on state matters with the development of the system and its use. Moreover, in practice there is a complete separation between the two here, and this is one of the reasons that the community of activists has gradually grown, and includes such a wide variety of users that in other circumstances do not cooperate with one another. We are highly focused on the matters we deal with, and precisely for that reason we explicitly refer to the new government of horrors, which in the relevant respects constitutes an environmental disaster. The underlying assumption is that the takeover of state institutions by criminals neutralizes the state's ability to establish environmental policy. As has been written here, the gang of corrupt thugs has already broken through the theoretical barrier and begun operating in the field. However, I reluctantly accept the diversion of public attention from environmental issues.

Out of deep commitment to the issues that the field deals with, I defend the right to avoid cooperation with dubious entities. In my personal view, it is also a duty to fight scoundrels, but in order not to further stray from the topic of the discussion I will suffice with a request: do not approach me with claims about mixing politics into the discussion here. Whoever brings into the schools violent criminals, entrusts our resources to thieves, givescriminals andfilth access to weapons and instruments of destruction - that is the address.
