Irony is, those in need of deprogramming the most are the ones into programming. How is it even possible that people that are supposed to be so intelligent/logical/rational are actually this gullible to state’s propaganda that they believe it without a shred of doubt.
I mean, programmers are also the most uplifted profession by capitalism nowadays, that often does so little and have a lot of their work discarded. Their bosses also love promising “futurist” hopes that they’ll rule the world. They’re basically the digital world version of corporate lawyers, and its within their interests (or at least, the interest of those who rise to become capitalists) to be obsessed with liberalising everything.
Also, y’know, the whole process of defunding social studies worldwide in favour of STEM fields does wonders to a techkid brain.
