I don’t think that’s what you intended to say, but it’s an easy misreading, so clearing that up.
Oh sure, (I was potentially downvoted for the same reason). The point isn’t that they weren’t politically motivated but rather that one shouldn’t think the inclination to defect in this fashion is somehow more connected to a specific political viewpoint. Someone on the end opposite Eugine on these issues could easily be motivated to do the same thing.
