You're free to not participate or start your own organization though, there is no pushing. Github also isn't applying this to every repo you have on the site, just their own - which they have ever right to do.
This line of argument stems from the totalitarian hierarchical nature of a corporation which is a dictatorship. The argument boils down to excommunicating yourself for not following the Kings rules.
Just like "don't buy the product" line, it does not work on an individual level.
They may not be pushing but Github as a technical tool amassed a community of millions of users based on its functionality.
Now it's espousing radical politics as a company. Politics many users most likely don't support (based on my personal opinion and discussion about this around the web).
They are free to do as they like but trying to introduce their politics into a non-political community/userbase is a bad idea. I predict this will not work out well for them.
All have radical politics for adopting similar CoCs? They're also not applying it to all of github, just projects they maintain. And every community is political, that line just gets used anytime someone raises a concern about something to shut it down.
Yes, any project that introduces these sexist/racist changes is pushing radical politics.
That's why so many people are up in arms! The tech community has been invaded top down by radicals. Seemingly around 50% or us aren't happy with this situation.
