1. This should have been an aggressive DEI policy enforced on Silicon Valley

As a requirement to get tax breaks, grants, subsidies, or federal contracts. They let this whole industry be dominated by incels and closet Neo Nazis for decades and now we're living in the Turd Reich as a result.

4. Most of the workers in high tech

Are pretty liberal. My checks came from Silicon bank. I’m still in it. Many of the tech workers are Indian. I’m Asian and there are quite a few of us and there are many women. Probably more than many other industries. It is many small start up companies. Those big tech people like Musk are not typical of many of the people I know. I have been in three startups and I am in one now. One of my best friends who is a CTO was friends with Tucker Carlson in college. His girlfriend was roommates with Tucker’swife. He considers Tucker a nazi.

They bought an election and want ROI when their front man kicks the bucket.



Links there to sicko culture that has infected the valley.

3. Tech Bros have the tiniest dicks in the Universe and hate it should anyone notice.

The new Nazi are entitled little boys who are afraid of women because women won't date them.Pathetic posers.
