Well if you keep your head buried in the sand and only listen to happy
sunshine music then I guess that statement makes sense. But personally
I've heard thousands of songs which had political content/subject -
and that's without even listening to the really edgy off-the-radar
stuff.

Ever heard of the phrase "the personal is the political"?

We should care if people use free software, but if you want to be an
ignorant cuss then yes it's not worth discussing and you deserve
vendor lock in and software which you have very little control over.
