Reading between the lines, sounds like he’s pissed about being called out for being a Putin apologist and following Russia’s party line on Ukraine.

You’re not going to shame people into disowning their morality. This isn’t a fight you’re going to win.

There is no way to completely protect ourselves from cyber attacks, but at least we can avoid software with an "opinion."

Well... everybody has an opinion. It's inevitable as thinking beings. The difference is whether people are willing to act upon it.

There are many projects with a Code Of Conduct out there that could be interpreted as very left leaning. There are projects with the express purpose of fighting subjugation or helping journalists' ability to report on political topics. Signal is an example of such a project. Are those projects to be avoided too?

Someone blocked me on twitter dot com :(

If I understand it correctly it isn't the blog author who got blocked.

He also seems to be throwing in unrelated concerns and just glossing over the details that bring their relevance into question - consider this paragraph

Browser extensions, mobile, and desktop apps also implement logic to attack users by regions and based on their political views. Nowadays, there are many teams who buy popular apps and browser extensions to inject malware. I have a blog post about it.

You're not going to be able to identify whether a developer might do a deal that compromises a library you use based on their political stance - it's an entirely unrelated threat vector to his core thesis (and even his own related blog post recognises this, discussing how developers of browser extensions are sometimes tricked into including malicious code - something that is even less related to their political beliefs than their willingness to take a bribe or payout.
