Have you talked to a lot of tech workers? I feel like there’s a set of left wing ones, a larger set of libertarian types, and an even larger set of people who are shockingly ignorant of politics and history.
I think a lot about the guy I worked with that said he was going to Palantir. We were like “but what if they have you doing awful things?” He was like, big shrug. He was always friendly to people in the office, but I guess that’s as far as it went.
Yea, I know someone who did the same, and we really haven’t talked since. It sucks that people will put aside their ethics for cash, but it’s not everyone. These people are the ones who get the most headlines
