Liberals aren't the problem. It's the progressive/Antifa/SJW/socialist/left libertarians/BernieBots that are the problem.

The actual liberals are sane. When you find one, take a picture with him or her.

The internet was developed by some of the most left-leaning universities in the country.

That said, Chik Fil A is run by a Christian who I assume is conservative. Mad props.

i think the progressive reliance on tech is going to seriously backfire on them as alt-tech emerges

Wiki posted a video years ago basically laying out how tech development requires no borders and they can leave and continue their development without all the bullshite that comes with the US (or anywhere else). being that tech is what's largely driving our economy AND that it's being attacked by authoritarian policies wherever it emerges, it won't take much for alt-tech to emerge and really put a dent in that industry

So what? Do you have any evidence that the people working on those technologies were leftists?

The thread title is "do liberals..."

Based on this board's definition of liberal being anything left of center, I would say yes, the creators of the internet would be left of center

Without darkness, there can be no light.

Without evil, there can be no good.

Without emotion, there can be no reason.


Meditate on this young grasshopper.

fortune article on ranking tech companies by conservative value

quote:

On February 7, 2006, Cerf testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation's hearing on network neutrality. Speaking as Google's Chief Internet Evangelist, Cerf noted that nearly half of all consumers lacked meaningful choice in broadband providers and expressed concerns that without network neutrality government regulation, broadband providers would be able to use their dominance to limit options for consumers and charge companies like Google for their use of bandwidth.[33]

from vint cerfs wiki page. definite liberal if he's advocating for net neutrality regulations and works at google.

Telephones are more social media toys than they are meaningful technologies. Just my opinion..others may feel differently.
