"The reason for the wholesale capitulation of Silicon Valley moguls to Trumpism is, in one way not that much different than the first wave of MAGA support – white people from rural parts and the flinty upper middle-class gated communities who wanted a strongman to say what they couldn’t say about the rise of a black president and his people."

"The techy white rich guys are as afflicted with a sense of victimization as the supposedly victimized white rabble was before the 2016 win. ...
These tech cowboys, desperate for 'masculine energy,' clearly believe they are among the highest possible iteration of the tool-making human, with a direct lineage to Prometheus, or whoever shaped the first club or arrowhead."

"Behind the casual hoodies and ping-pong tables lies an industry built on traditionally masculine principles, where competition, dominance, and aggressive growth was the proud backbone of success.Facebook's original motto to 'move fast and break things' wasn't just a development philosophy - it was a manifesto for tech's inherent masculine ethos."

"The jig is up. The pretense is over. The blather about corporate social responsibility is revealed for what it really is and always has been — PR designed to make the public believe that big global corporations care about anything other than making as much money as possible, as soon as possible.
I, for one, think this is a good thing."

@Rworld We definitely have known from research conducted years ago now that the most homophobic men are also likely to be men most strongly moved by repressed same-sex attraction.
