I don’t know if it’s the system keeping them from analyzing it so much as it’s simply that a good number of tech bros fall into the Actually a Nazi or the Paid Enough They Don’t Care categories and for the most part happily keep on doing what they’ve been doing. If any of them had actual ethics or morals they’d take action, but they just plain don’t.

Perhaps I’m too cynical, but after 20+ years working in tech, with most of the last 10 being in an abuse role at a PaaS company and seeing how management is willing to play endless whataboutism (my favorite was our Jewish lead council going on about how there’s nothing wrong with Nazis having a voice and a platform, and then some crazy story about bullying when he was a kid) and the majority of non-management is happy to just shrug and play along and so you end up with a Nazi bar, as you mentioned.

The problem is that, right now, ALL the bars in this horribly tortured analogy are Nazi bars and everyone gets subjected to the Nazi propaganda.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here’s the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community
