> Because if your social class is demonized and squeezed to pay for holes in the welfare state, that affects your livability. Tech workers are usually on the top 25th percentile of income in almost any large European city, surely aren't being squeezed to patch holes in welfare since even after paying higher taxes the take home income is higher than most people earn in the same city. This victimisation of upper middle class is quite whiny, we all earn a lot more money than most already, the demonisation of our class comes exactly from people in tech not acknowledging that we have it pretty good compared to other high-salaried white collar jobs: architects, accountants, legal counselors (not free practice barristers), engineers, etc. We earn more and aren't even required to jump through hoops of 5-6 years architecture school, 5 years full time engineering school, certifications like CPA, etc. I started to despise some tech people because they whine so fucking much...
