Seeing a sudden surge in interest in the "Tech Right" as they're being dubbed. Often the focus is on business motivations like tax breaks but I think there's more to it. The narrative that silicon Valley is a bunch of tech hippies was well sown early on, particularly by Stewart Brand and his ilk but throughout that period and prior, the intersection between tech and authoritative politics that favours systems over people is well established.

As for the job postings, someone was seeking members for a gamedev co-op on Lemmy the other day! Maybe the anarchist jobs are coming soon!

Oooh! I've contemplated similar myself in the past. Have a link by chance? I want to see what they're doing and how they plan to organize.

I had essentially the same reaction. Tech shops are hard to unionize (see above for why, hah) but I think "joint equal ownership" as rebranding for starting a union shop is a good approach to poaching some people out of the capitalist system.

Anyway, here's the post:
