Well today in "tech", if you openly support a republican candidate, good luck being invited at tech events or conferences as a speaker. That's wrong of course and I say that as a non republican. The Tech industry has become so politicized positions that used to be seen as extreme are considered "normal". I mean how can an article such as this one can be deemed acceptable on a tech blog ? : https://archive.is/elvvc https://archive.is/elvvc Replace white people by black people and racism, defined as broad generalizations based on the color of skin, becomes obvious. Yes the article linked is racist period.

  Which tectonic shift? From my point of view, it seems like the previous (pro-feminist, pro-censhorship) tectonic shift still lasts (Brendan Eich, Gamergate, "Shirtgate", "discrimination" in tech), and IMO it's definitely going in the wrong direction (towards lies and censhorship).
