A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

While yes, libertarian is originally a leftist term, that’s not what I meant.

I meant the first comment saying most people on new tech are leftists is wrong. Most people who are technophilic are liberals. As in US style Democrat liberals. Which are NOT leftists. At all.

Why on earth would you say most tech heads are liberal?

Why would you say they aren’t ? They all buy in hard into capitalism.

Where are all these leftist techies?

You think every tech enthusiast "buys hard into capitalism"?

Hyperbole my friend. Exaggeration.

But to be much more precise and literal: a good amount of them. Likely even a majority, do.
