God damn they better never give you any responsibility because you’re the most gullible person I’ve ever known. Your boss just doesn’t want to tell you he’s a fascist.
I mean you’ll have to take my word for it I guess.
I volunteer for an organization that promotes fiction penned by women and minority communities, we have a guy on the board who used to be a software engineer in the 70s–90s before he retired, he doesn’t know the first thing about social media. Struggles to remember the name of Facebook which is the only one he’s used.
My father in law wrote software for both JPL and government oceanography equipment, and is a big fan of Musk’s SpaceX work and vehemently against his political stuff, saying “he needs to dump that political stuff and get back to work!” frequently.
In my experience, people are complicated and immune to a lot of online pigeonholing, no matter how insistent online voices (mine included) are about that - there is a break between online discourse and real life day to day humdrum quotidian lived experience

He knows.
