I’m not sure brain-dead is accurate because that would mean unwittingness.

  I think you greatly underestimate the hardcore "libertarian" ideology that runs through tech-bro culture.

  I’d actually argue that the idea that the US tech ecosystem is almost exclusively ultra left leaning is the myth here. You’ve just presented that as some kind of a fact which is in stark contrast to thousands of threads filled with comments demonstrating the opposite.

    Judging by the companies I've worked at and the people I know, it clearly is. This is biased towards the sv part of the industry, which is the largest concentration, though. It is also backed up by the data of who employees of large tech companies contribute to, which is overwhelmingly democrats.

      I don’t think you seem to have any kind of understanding of what “ultra left leaning” means in this context. You’re just repeating Fox News headlines here and pretending that it’s some black and white issue once again in spite of the overwhelming evidence in this very thread showing that not to be the case.

        Would you also please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments (including ideological battle comments) to HN? You've unfortunately been doing it a lot lately, even stooping to personal attacks (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34131316 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34131316). None of this is what this site is for, and destroys what it is for, and we ban that sort of account.
