Just another crazy thought.
Hardware: You could use your hardware any way you want. It is your property when you pay for it. You can hack your car or washing machine, you could study how it made and works, you could give it to a friend and even if you use some patent to modify it for personal use, no industrial company who made it or own a patent would not care about you at all. People who made hardware are mostly right wing. Hardware people make most money creating things.
Software: You are not an owner even if you pay for it. You could not study or change it to fit your needs (opensource is different, I'll discuss it later.). Using software you literally became a slave to manufacturer from many sides. You can't give it to friend, even if you don't need it any more. If you do something with software that software manufacturer don't like, you will be prosecuted. People who made software are mostly left wing. All above also applicable to music, movies, books, etc. Software people make most money selling copies, trading your personal data, or pushing some agenda.
OpenSource: It is still a land of freedom and meritocracy. Rights are still there. (check Eric S Raymond, f.e.) But right now there is huge campaign to take over OpenSource software by SJW and other crap. They began from pushing that dumb CoC's (Code of Conduct) that have absolutely nothing common with the way opensource is working. Nobody cares are you gay or ultimate nazi if you write good code. Than, they use that CoC's to throw away high-ranked coders who said something "wrong" somewhere on their personal blogs. Now they push censorship and all that SJW crap into seized projects. Good example is Mozilla. They throw away the top people who just made a good browser, add a lot of surveillance and advertising crap, made codebase so huge and complex, that no single person can modify or throw out all that shit out of browser. And they even implemented pure censorship (check how Google Safe Browsing works), as always "for your safety". And they even already tested it - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1319310, http://thegoodnewstoday.org/proof-google-censors-conservative-and-pro-trump-articles/, etc.
And that left-software people with their ideas also try to invade right-hardware world. You are already could find a tractor and other machinery you are not allowed to repair and you already could not replace the OS or even just delete some software on your phone. They even try to invade DIY communities using their crap about diversity, pushing to the community their freaks and queers who can't hammer a single nail but cry very loud about bad words and wrong thoughts they hear from some (usually the best) DIY's. Even that small uncontrolled communities are under attack.
left-software crowd now tries to completely overtake all possible media, thinking that it is their property. However, internet itself is still hardware and there still good old possibility to make it fit our needs or create something they could not control.
Am I totally crazy, or there is something?
PS: Comments by kind fellow below lead me to the thought that highly probale. their current goal is literally Existence-as-a-Service (EaaS) for all humanity, just like their most favorite business model, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
I just try to connect a dots and find possible ways to fight that clown world. And it is not an analogy, it is observation. Hardware people mostly right, proprietary software people mostly left, opensource is under left attack now, literally,
And I could even figure out something:
In no case you should rely on proprietary software or platforms now.
Keep your existing hardware up and running. Your next car could be not really yours. Smartphone is not yours already. You have to spend a lot of effort to make it yours again.
Learn to make and fix hardware. It could become huge advantage soon.
Etc.
