Here's how I see it. You can choose your mindset and provide productive, uplifting content and commentary. You can also choose to ignore negative and bickering content. I don't necessarily agree with your view it is all turning to politics but I think those things are simply being highlighted more by the whale curators.

I do feel on the developer side that there isn't too much of politics and people are working together. I guess it really has to do with how you frame the picture.
