    My wife is very progressive and believes in human rights. Her Facebook feed went conservative about a week ago now with constant right wing propaganda.

          It’s almost as though most of the techbros are fascists who read about half of Atlas Shrugged and think it makes them smart.

            The left had so many things they hated that the right manipulated them into cancelling every single celebrity with a skeleton in their closet. This made all of the terrified. At the same time the right showed they will defend and enrich anyone who even looks their way. The left alienated everyone they could, the right embraced them and offered a safe space. This isn’t complicated. It isn’t Atlas Shrugged. It’s basic human nature and social awareness. The left bought right into so many poisoned apples.

            Sure, but what? All the tech-savvy Americans are fascist sympathizers? No actually bright and plugged-in people in the tech world?

              Fascist techbros were already somewhere between wealthy and ultra wealthy.

              There are plenty of non-fascist tech-savvy Americans, they just don’t control Scrooge McDuck amounts of money.
