This attitude is exactly why "tech bro" is a perjorative. There is a prominent group of people that shares your disdain for folks who are upset that their lives are being ruined by technological changes, all so that they can have some new shiny toys and become even wealthier.

On top of being, yes, gross, being so vocal about that attitude is stupid. It would be much better to at least pretend to have some empathy or at least keep your glee to yourself.

So we are expected to have empathy and respect for people who treat our entire vocation as a grave sin? Every last word they vomit about the propaganda threat of ML has been projection from propagandists. They can fuck right off, they have earned their lack of empathy.
Why should I pretend to have empathy for assholes that deride other people as "tech bros"? Fuck them.
I don't fault anyone for being upset they have to find a new job, but I have justified disdain for what amount to horse farriers who want to ban the automobile.
