    If no one talked about politics then how did you know about the biker guy’s politics? Probably more like “we shared right leaning trueisms common among comfortable white suburbanites, and I didn’t recognize them as political at the time”

      I’m also sceptical of “pink haired chick” claim. I don’t have knowledge or examples but I’d reckon the field would discriminate against white women too, especially pink haired ones, whatever the implications of that might be.

        Yeah, tech bros have a lot of right wing reactionary ideas. Actually any profession where the pay distinguishes you from the average person, you find this quite a bit.
