The rightward shift in the tech sector seems to only apply to executives. ICs seem to be as lefty as they always have been.

- cmrdporcupine 2y agoWish I could agree. I've seen a marked shift in tone. What I'd say is that there is a significant number of "libertarians" whose "liberty" veneer is scratching off and the authoritarian conservative body underneath is starting to show through, as it always does. Also, most "lefty" US tech workers are "lefty" only on social/cultural issues -- and would not be broadly in favour of socialist or social democratic economic policy... which I guess describes Democrats in the US generally.
