Irony is, those in need of deprogramming the most are the ones into programming. How is it even possible that people that are supposed to be so intelligent/logical/rational are actually this gullible to state’s propaganda that they believe it without a shred of doubt.
Maybe somewhat, but mostly as class interests. I know a horrible neoliberal programmer who thinks he’s smarter than everyone because he reads Wikipedia articles. I figured out that the beliefs seemed highly correlated with his position as a labor aristocrat.
