What is it about the tech industry that makes it so politically inept?

  Look at HN everytime a CFAA case comes up (as only one example) and just watch and learn. In the tech industry's world there's no such thing as: - compromise or shades of gray - computer-related crime - a actual public servant, or an honest judge - competing industries (only "old dinosaurs") and you could keep going with examples. The worst part is that most of the time the tech industry is actually right, but as it stands they can't even get onto the field, let alone make forward political progress. It doesn't matter how morally right you are if you refuse to work with stakeholders to get a bad law fixed.
