They are unprincipled, but not stupid.
Dominated by immigrants from Socialist countries, they love free stuff.
People who “live inside their own head” often find the real world messy and challenging. Sometimes they want someone to just come along and “handle” everything for them.
Corporations are the same as godless government entities. They are dictatorships.
Dictatorship is a form of government ruled by one person or political entity, and exercised through various mechanisms to ensure the entity’s power remains strong.
No freedom for individuals is allowed.
They be seeking .gov favoritism . . ?
It isn’t just the Tech companies. It is now all areas of the work force.
Just look at the medical field. It is overrun with leftist. Nearly ALL researchers, scientist and anyone with a PHD are left of center.
Due to the culture now present in ALL institutions of higher learning. They are indoctrinated from kindergarden in the leftist mind set.....
Can you name ONE college or university that espouses conservative values other than Hillsdale?
It has been going on for decades but it really went full force during the Microsoft Explorer lawsuit.
Fake Message: “Explorer is preventing competition”
Real Message: “Support RATS and the lawsuits will stop”
Intel
Boeing
Apple
Google
Walmart
Toyota
All these companies have been targeted the same way and all have moved left in response.
The RATS want more $$$ out of Apple which is why it is still targeted on encryption.
Too many foreigners bringing in non-American culture.
Probably because our lives are so cush. A lot of liberalism is built around guilt, that feeling of having more than you deserve. And in the world of tech, with our free drinks, free snacks, complete lack of dress code, upper 50% pay largely for doing stuff we’d be doing anyway, plus the quantity of time we spend not doing anything, game rooms, frequently short days... It’s really easy to feel like we’re rewarded in excess of our contributions.
College
One cause is the instant money for the founders. They have been very bright guys and very innovative. Their fortunes came too fast. They really have no concept of where the money all came from. Oh, they can talk about marketing and invention and copyrights, but to them emotionally the money was magic and there is really no reason it can’t happen to everyone and they expend energy trying to make the government do what nature refuses to do i.e. shower money on everyone. They also know that they are so absolutely brilliant that anything they think of must be truer than anything anyone else thinks of so they should be forcing their ideas on everyone else for their own good.
I think it has something to do with the much higher percentage of women who work there... as opposed to traditionally men-dominated industries such as steel, mining cement etc or other types of manufacturing. I sure have met plenty of conservative minded women but when you have large numbers of them in one place, socialist programs and free stuff tend to dominate more since the issue of raising families while trying to work comes into play.
The tech industry set up shop in already liberal places and adapted to the political environment.
It is not just “new” high tech start ups...
Lockheed Martin refused to be associated with the Boy Scouts after generations of cooperation. The same year they provided benefits to same sex couples.
While crying they had no more money for future pensions and had to chop benefits again...
greed/guilt/moral superiority cognitive trissonance.
1. Kinsey’s with Rockefeller found it was good that people were sexualy promiscuous as it would not manufacture competitors but diletante shoppers. Moreover, nothing like a little girl’s rebelious attitude and a whore wife to make them exploit a husband’s money to pay and finance some Target manager’s bottom line.
2. Communists have replaced religion as a PR voice protecting their Socially Correct or “charitable” PR stunts. So instead of having to feel guilty for not saving a Jew in Dachau or a Christian in Syria, they get approval by communists to fck off so long they fund the right communist lawyer political group
Tech companies are leftist for they same reason most media companies are: they are located in urban areas where the hiring pool is mostly Democrat. High population density isn’t just correlated with leftism, it actually causes it.
Because computer programmers are wimpy nerds.
Immaturity.
