Practically all tech is run by liberals, and large percentage are hard-left progressives. Their values are being pumped through the tech industry they've created and it is imposed through all platforms around the world. I'd like to see more diversity of ideas, not some 100 people writing Twitter algorithms in SV where they have zero clue about how the rest of the world works.

Having any kind of dominant political culture at a company probably makes things pretty miserable on the whole so I empathize. I did look into what you said about politics (as opposed to culture) and you are right that a majority of tech companies are funneling money into Democratic PACs and candidates, though, I don't think many of these folks are progressives. What I do find really concerning is that most of these candidate donations are being sent to places where these companies clearly don't operate. That seems like a loophole worth closing. - Meta: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/facebook-inc/summary?id=D000033563 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/facebook-inc/summary?id=D00... - Salesforce: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/salesforcecom/summary?id=D000037335 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/salesforcecom/summary?id=D0... - Google: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/google-inc/summary?id=D000022008 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/google-inc/summary?id=D0000... - Microsoft: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/microsoft-corp/summary?all=2022&id=D000000115 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/microsoft-corp/summary?all=... - Amazon: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/amazon-com/summary?all=2022&id=D000023883 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/amazon-com/summary?all=2022... - Netflix: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/netflix-inc/summary?id=D000036161 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/netflix-inc/summary?id=D000... - NVIDIA: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/nvidia-corp/summary?id=D000036303 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/nvidia-corp/summary?id=D000... - AMD: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/advanced-micro-devices/summary?id=D000023765 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/advanced-micro-devices/summ...
