Linux Community To Adopt New Code of Conduct (kernel.org)
Following Linus Torvalds' public apology for his behavior over the years, the Linux Community said it will be adopting a new "Code of Conduct", which pledges to make "participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation."
Even Linux has fallen to the SJW terror.
Let the bugs and unmaintainable crap code arrive. Instead of a reply from Linus that left nothing to the imagination maintainers now need to carefully imagine how to not hurt a snowflakes feelings.
To be clear though the Code of Conduct doesn't say any of that, or even hint at it. And the text from the Contributor Covenant that you quoted isn't actually from the Covenant itself, it's from the preamble on the web page that introduces it.
So I think your "context" here is just fear-mongering. Can you point to anything you find problematic in the actual Code of Conduct?

I have a major lack of understanding of what is wrong with Social Justice or what is wrong with anyone who pushes it as an idea.. Obviously, I am not from the USA but as someone who has worked in IT for a long time, is slightly dyslexic, really good at sums and went to a "nice" private school presumably I should be as horrified as some people here that we are being encouraged to treat other people decently.
Social justice is a good idea. Being a warrior for it sounds good but I am probably not threatening enough. Anyone else who wants to is fine by me but I am not a sociopath.
I'll see your Constitution and raise you a Queen.
Extremists are binary people: everything is either black or white - there are no shades. For the left it is their obnoxious political correctness ("person" is a sexist word, better use "perchild") for the right it is their prejudiced judgmentalism (if you are poor it must be because you deserve it). The world would be a far better place without such assholes.
And here you go, proving right off the bat that Progressives are total hypocrites.
Fired for being wrong, and nothing to do with a CoC, and certainly nothing to do with this one in particular.

Highly doubtful. It turns out conservatives only give more because they give to their church, not because they have any greater love for the poor.
