Oh woe is me someone thinks my ideas are shit and tells it to my face
Real “The woke left made me a nazi” vibes
The classic “I was going to be a caring individual and oppose systemic wrongs but a leftist said things I disliked on the internet” move.
Complaining about other communists is one of the most important parts of being a communist.
I think the programming.dev lemmy has some of the most powerfully ignorant and cocksure dinguses on the lemmyverse
Standard techbro mindset
This has been my experience with them since we federated as well.
I mean it’s basically HN. Same material circumstances.
Their culture is knowing literally nothing about something but doing a google search to look it up beforehand then immediately commenting on topics as if they have been an expert for years.

From my personal experience with these people it’s more of a “I got top grades in school, especially the difficult STEM subjects which means I’m just smarter and know things about everything better than anybody else”
And the fact that they probably make above average salaries and our world, especially American culture automatically associates high earnings/wealth with intelligence/work ethic/skills. These idiots are probably genuinely being viewed and treated by many others as smart for being well paid coders
Coders (and most STEM jobs like engineers) are just glorified puzzle solvers. They turn “I know how to arrange 4 coins so that each row would have 3 coins each” into a personality.

The reply guy consortium are not sending their best
When your politics have been shaped purely for aesthetics
“I was out shopping for an ideology that was compassionate, scientific, and human-focused, but then a leftist sent a crude picture of a pig with feces on his testicles, so I became a Nazi instead of doing any introspection”
sorry, ladies, communism cancelled
