    then be more specific and use another term. Tech worker is such a red herring, might as well use financial worker or medical laborer to refer to doctors.

      That’s exactly my point, it is dumb to say that all tech workers are petit bourgeois.

      Edit: in fact, just because you get paid a high salary does not make you petit bourgeois in any sense of the phrase. A tech worker does not even necessarily make a high salary. A tech worker does not inherently own means of production by being a tech worker. A tech worker is still a worker. Not a store owner, a middle manager or a small business owner. They do not have employees. You don’t understand what petit bourgeois means and you’re just throwing it around to look cool to your discord buddies.

        "Tech workers" does that include the 8 dollar an hour call center slaves? They have no idea what they're talking about.

          Yeah don’t hid behind the wage slaves and pretend you’re one of them by larping that you’re a tech worker.

            I am a tech worker and my first tech job was 8 dollars an hour, from a boss that would write bad checks and I would find out at the ATM when I would go to deposit them. Fun times (not). Also fuck me for busting my ass and struggling every day to try and make more money so I can actually afford things like food and a place to live right? What should I do instead, just starve? Yeah the system is fucked and all I can do is help organize in my local community, partake in events and help build class consciousness with my fellow workers so we can overthrow this corrupt shit.

            I worked hard and struggled to try and make more money so I didn't have to deal with roommates that would try to beat me or rape me by the way so fuck you.

              Literally no one holds it against you for working within the system, just stop being fragile fuck and admit your class privilege. It doesn’t bar you from being a comrade FFS

                What is this then? If it's not one thing it's the other, at least try to have a cohesive worldview.

        Are you or are you not, wittingly or unwittingly, involved in the hiring process? Just answer that truthfully. To suggest that a programmer/engineer exists in a vacuum within their corporate spaces and has no material effect on the life of anyone else is offensive. A high salary constitutes material wealth in and of itself, we don’t live in an age where nobility is a thing.

          No I’m not involved in the hiring process dumbass, I’m just another corporate drone in the sea of drones working my ass off to make a shareholder rich and struggling to pay my rent. “Tech worker” does not equate to dudes making 200k at google in San Francisco all the time. Fuck off.
