Maybe I come from a different perspective. In my case, the technology industry was a gigantic enabler for societal mobility, social ascention, education, and a way to connect to my community, where technology is important for their economic ascent as well. Of course I am not trying to rationalize their side that is harmful for several societies, but at least for me, TC used to be the place where I could find companies doing something useful for a couple of people.
