I have worked between multiple Data Center Technician contracts during COVID. I was treated like shit in all of them, and the culture was heavily conservative/fascist. Those jobs need to be paid a lot more, have much better working conditions, etc. before the culture can be improved and the jobs are less discriminating to nearly everyone.
It depends on what side of the industry you on. Cushy IT Admin position at a company of half decent computer users where updating Adobe is how you keep your job? Probably a fascist.
Installer working the frontlines and in more customer oriented fields? More lib and leftist.
Funny how having jobs that imply you have power makes people more fash, as if power always corrupts and that corruption usually looks like Fascism.

Tons of people are able to exercise power responsibly -- lots of good teachers and parents out there -- especially when they have resources, education, and there's even minimal accountability.

I promise my views are more nuanced than what I generally present.
