    It depends on what side of the industry you on. Cushy IT Admin position at a company of half decent computer users where updating Adobe is how you keep your job? Probably a fascist.

    Installer working the frontlines and in more customer oriented fields? More lib and leftist.

    Funny how having jobs that imply you have power makes people more fash, as if power always corrupts and that corruption usually looks like Fascism.

      I know this was kind of an offhand comment, but I think we want to be much more measured with our critiques of power, and avoid playing fast and loose with what we label fascism.

      Tons of people are able to exercise power responsibly – lots of good teachers and parents out there – especially when they have resources, education, and there’s even minimal accountability.
