Irony is, those in need of deprogramming the most are the ones into programming. How is it even possible that people that are supposed to be so intelligent/logical/rational are actually this gullible to state’s propaganda that they believe it without a shred of doubt.
I think there was an additional fuel added to the metaphorical fire that is “hacker” demographics. When crypto came to the mainstream wearing shades and a leather jacket with the letters NFT stitched on we saw a bunch of people getting into “tech” and the general community by either following Elon and other tech bros or going after a profit through Crypto (and most shitcoins at that).
Utterly horrible, and even when they’re not ultraright single digit IQ head bobbers, then they most likely are then a damn anarkiddy(if not an ancap) and at that point if someone tells me about tech news, computer builds, or programming I’m gonna to assume they’re anti-left until proven otherwise.
