Too bad most engineers have a visceral reaction to anything left of center, despite understanding the tech facing downsides of late stage capitalism such as loss of privacy, enshitification etc.

Yes, we trained dogs still bark on command, but nevertheless, a hush has settled over the pack.

You've noticed that, too? Up until mid 2025, there were people posting conservative oriented comments, even a few "See! Trump does some things right!" people. All gone now, just a few silent downvoters lingering in the shadows.

More than a few. I wonder how many are true followers of Curtis Yarvin vs the somewhat naive libertarian / neoliberal types. I.e. witting vs unwitting advocates of hypergenocide.

Are we callin marxism "left of center" now?!
