I thought it was very funny that a military parade has sponsors. But there is no hypocrisy here, from Coinbase's point of view. They would argue that "A military parade isn't political, it's just patriotic!"

Point is, companies (and individuals) that claim to have 'no politics' also don't understand what politics is.

Absolutely agree, it's incredible. Being political is when someone says something I don't like, of course!
You wouldn't even have to argue it's patriotic. One could make the case that sponsoring this parade was the best use of marketing funds.
