When I lived in SF it was socially acceptable to openly degrade tech workers. Nancy Pelosi's daughter went on TV and called SF tech workers "vermin" and "invaders" and described the presence of tech works as an "infestation". Open hostility and dehumanization is condoned. In no way did I feel oppressed, but it did come off as tone deaf the way people on one breath say stuff like that and in the next complain about how tech workers weren't invested in the community.

Yeah it's so tough being a tech worker. I feel almost as oppressed as the billionaires.

Who said anything about oppression? I just don't think anyone wants to live and work in a place where they are unwelcome and unwanted.

The post you're replying to literally says "in no way did I feel oppressed"
