It is completely inexcusable that people in STEM fields are so reactionary, considering how capitalism utterly destroys science.
If universities were actually "left wing indoctrination factories" like the right thinks they are, every STEM grad would be taught, for example, what Kropotkin had to say about innovation.
I don't believe STEM pays as well as people think, but STEM grad's are often from more well off families to begin with.
STEM pays insanely well if you're in the "TE" section
