American tech bros come up with democratizing tech every five years. And then oops, now the tech has enslaved us or just made the tech bros rich at the expense of everyone else. Oops.

The thing with “left wing” positions is that it depends on the conditions you live under. It does not depend on, like tech people get so incredibly tunnel-visioned about, the tech in isolation. You embrace and use the mills if you collectively own them; you smash them if they are being used against you.

I won’t claim that you are on the side of the billionaire tech bros. I don’t know if it is intentional.
