What the hell are you talking about? 2600 has always been political and weird.
Here, I'll grab a few issues off the shelf to demonstrate:
- Spring 2004: an article on DRM
- Summer 1998: an article about the international justice system (LUCID), lies about Mitnick
- Autumn 2014: patent trolls
Every issue has at least one political article, many mention mass surveillance even if it's not the core point of the article.
It's totally fair to say you don't like the articles after 2015, but to say they got political in 2016 is complete nonsense.
