    Probably only if you are a principle engineer at FAANG and not even these days since the tech crash. But mrah someone who is ultimately also just a laborer made more money than me so they’re the problem.

      If we’re friends that regularly hang out and they ask me to cover half of the 10 dollar Uber ride that they called or my 1 beer at the bar then yes, they’re the problem

      No surprise, the best tech friends I’ve had we never send money to each other unless it’s in the order of hundreds. Anything else we just go back and forth on

      All my tech friends who were dead set on going even for everything, even the ones that have offered to pay me 2 dollars for the movie popcorn that I bought, have all turned out to be neoliberals that don’t care about anybody outside of their friend groups or tech/finance social circles

        Find better friends? I don’t understand what them being tech people has anything to do with them being assholes. To be clear, what you’re describing is for sure asshole behavior. I have worked in relatively high paying and low paying jobs and have seen all types in all positions. Some people just suck

          The tweet is just poking fun at the fact that the average tech bro is way more likely to be douchey

          Can you stop doing the “akschually not ALL tech people” thing?

            Not interested in a flame war but I would describe that as an inaccurate characterization of what I was saying. all I said is you’re mad at the wrong people

              How am I mad at the wrong people? “Wealthy” people who do this suck and are assholes

              You can actually be mad at the ruling class AND people who are working class if they’re shitty. You don’t get a pass on being an unreasonably selfish and greedy person just because you’re a laborer lmao

                This silicon valley techbro would be a class traitor during the revolution, and on some level, they know it, but are too cowardly to admit it. That’s why they’re pushing this #notalltechbros thing so hard.

                  Class traitors are good. I can’t think of a successful revolution that wasn’t full of them.

                  Why would they be “too cowardly to admit” being a good thing? Why are we so hostile to the same good thing that’s featured prominently in every successful revolution? This is leaning towards ultraleftism.

                    🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

                    Everything is ultra-leftism to you, either that, or “stuff that won’t build a mass-movement” when it’s against the crackers. I don’t think you have any ground to label what’s good and bad to revolution anymore. I for one, am not putting my faith in fairweather fence-sitters when the last time we saw one of any prominence was a hundred years ago.

                    Because they’re a working class person who will side with the bourgeoisie. They aren’t petit bourgeoisie, they use their own labour. Class traitors can go in either direction. Working class people can be convinced to work against their own best interests.
