Honestly, I think a lot of it comes down to Autism and other social/behavioral challenges that are absolutely boosted sky-high by being used by ruthless capitalist actors from a young age.

Not saying everyone in tech is a nice person at the core but being on the spectrum also specifically makes you vulnerable for propaganda.

On the other hand I have the suspicion a lot of lefties are on the spectrum as well. So maybe it does come down to personal choices.
