    I would like to add that why they’re so open for the scumfuck is because they want to ditch what they see as “troublesome” and “costly” progressive programs aka DEI; they would like to restore conservatism in the tech industry like in the 80s, the so-called “natural order of things” that is, white men in top positions while women and minorities clean up the mess.

      Again, there are definitely the scumfucks who are true believers. And NOBODY liked “DEI” as a policy since it almost always manifested as all the worst elements of “affirmative action”. It was well intentioned but it was very much a bunch of white liberals behind it. Its why the republicans run on “anti-DEI” platforms so much. Yes, it is a dog whistle but it also is one of those things where it is hard to find anyone who actually wants to defend those poison pill initiatives. What differs is “Why would we want any fucking blacks in our company” versus “Let’s actually focus on making a diverse hiring pool so that our workforce is the best and the brightest and not just hiring the first person we can find so that we can check off a box”. The number of times I had to say the work safe equivalent of “I’m not with that nazi”…

      But the thing to understand is that the mega corporations? They don’t give a fuck about white supremacy. Most are global affairs with a fairly diverse upper level management (albeit, with an over-representation of East Asia). They have zero incentive to actually want white supremacy to be a thing. But they DO have a lot of incentives to make token gestures and spend marketing money on placating the white supremacists who are increasingly in power globally.

        All they want is maximum profits with the minimum of cost. Even if someone has to die for those techbros.

          Which is, if anything, against white supremacy. You want the best bang for your buck which is, funny enough, often an H1-B slave (or outsourcing).

          Which is one of those dark secrets of the world. Rampant Capitalism is HORRIBLE for countless reasons but also tends to be the model that creates the most diverse workforces. For the absolute worst reasons but… yeah. Which is why it is hilarious when you have the chuds who think The White Man is going to win when all that matters is profits.
