@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk I wish I could downvote this, but the frequency in which this has been happening lately is very sad. I mourn being able to (naively) believe that tech was more altruistic than this 😢
Even worse somehow is the hill that people are willing to die on. Sure, it's painful to our pride to admit mistakes, but are we all so bad at learning how to empathize and improve 😭

@kfdm@social.tsun.co @Floppy@mastodon.me.uk this doesn't surprise me at all :/ Give a person a platform and they will open their mouth. It's well known engineers are way overrepresented in extremist circles, as islamic and right wing terrorists... I reckon it has something to do with black and white thinking. And maybe lack of humanities in education... https://goodauthority.org/news/this-new-book-explains-why-so-many-islamist-extremists-have-studied-engineering/ #politics
