The worst are the people who have some political cause, claim Bitcoin is part of that cause, and try to imply that anyone who uses Bitcoin agrees with them and supports their cause.

As Andreas says, Bitcoin's political cause is neutrality, while the world's political cause is SEVERELY skewed to the side. So, in that kind of a world, just being neutral seems like being politically radical. Kind of like just being neutral to everyone and treating everyone equally was a radical political stance at a time when some people were slaves.

There is a big difference between a radical political stance and going around acting like a screwball. If the goal is to increase the usage and importance of Bitcoin then you are not going to achieve that goal with a bunch of hyperbole and nonsense. That drives people away and makes it difficult for people trying to increase adoption. Using Bitcoin in itself is not a political stance of any kind. Now you may want to use Bitcoin as a tool to achieve some goal because it has more options than other payment instruments but it does automatically meant you agree with anything. That is like saying that everyone who uses the USD agrees with the policies and politics of the USA.

I agreed with that people use currencies doesn't mean they stand with any political side. I think everyone has the right to fight for their interests. If use coins could make my property safer, I would like to use them.
