Sort of? Most of the engineers I know are generally fairly left-wing from a social perspective (pro LGBT+, pro-choice, etc) but also tend to skew a bit more towards the "Ayn Rand" libertarian economically (though generally less dogmatic).
- zabzonk 4y ago> tend to skew a bit more towards the "Ayn Rand" libertarian economically perhaps much less so in the UK (where i am) as we tend to value public services (such as the NHS) and realise they have to be paid for.
- tombert 4y agoThat's fair; amongst my general friend-group it tends to be pretty left-leaning (very left-leaning by American standards, probably just left of center globally), but having worked with a bunch of engineers in New York and California, just the general vibe I've gotten has been the libertarian style I mentioned above.
