>Its interesting to me that at one time the idea of separating politics and work used to be standard decorum it's a mirage of sorts. Exercising sovereign power and drawing the line where politics ends is in itself political, in fact it's arguably the most political act there is. What's changed is not 'how much' politics there is but where the power lies. tech workers in contrast to a lot of people in the past have significant leverage, because they're relatively few in numbers, in high demand, and have fairly homogenous views which happen to conflict with the people who own all the stuff. Which makes for a fairly combustible combination.
