The Twitter thread is gold. Having recently worked at a semiconductor company that of course includes tech workers, even though you're talking real engineers who have to accomplish real work to get products made and supported or the company fails, there was still plenty of left wing B.S. like supporting transvestites and of course the "Diversity & Inclusion" mantra. (Just sit down and shut up if you're a white male.) Not nearly as much as places like Google and FascistBook, but still some corporate HR emails that in so many words were encouraging men to come to work wearing dresses, for example. (That was the only conclusion I could come up with based on the language used.)
I saw your comment over in Berenson's Substack about not voting democrat any more, and I was wondering what the final straw was for you. Pretty much no left wing policies or ideals have ever appealed to me, so it's interesting to learn what the red pill was for people who used to be on the other side.
Yeah. That Twitter thread really shocked me. My career has been in commercial nuclear power and it was nothing like what that thread described. I'd say the red pill for me was actually researching 9/11 back twenty years ago. The pill just keeps getting redder, the deeper I dig. It's not just Democrats though. It is our one-party Republicrats. I'd like to see a new party based on the US constitution, sound money such as bitcoin, and a focus on restoring the planet's resources and environment. To me, all those things are compatible if we shift our focus from profit to quality of life.
