That's interesting. People that I know (not personally, but the names I recognize) that are the most vocal about Gemini are self-proclaimed socialists. They want complete elimination of corporations and capitalism all-together, so ostensibly it might appear as 'left-libetarian' but quite the opposite. If we put on the liberatarian lenses, ideas of gemini are pretty cool but like many liberatarian ideas, they're impractical and often rooted in more emotion-than-substance. I admire the clean-slate approach sometimes because it gets rid of the cruft that we've built up over the years. It allows new tooling to be made with fresh eyes and hindsight. Think of it like the internet shedding off snake-skin.

The practical engineer in me says "We need to reinforce robustness, but also allow mad-scientists to do some wild experiments".

you know, it is possible for a simple piece of technology to ideologically appeal to more than one named region of whatever arbitrary political identity matrix one chooses to view the world through.
