I think the interesting is the tech community that used to be liberal and loving turning to something completely the opposite. Blindly following some playbook by "luminaires", and adopting the most awful parts of the discourse.

I know I am now going to be voted down, but it's the truth.

The tech community at large is very well in line with democracy and progressive values. There's a small cult who got very rich and became insanely hubristic, and they and their fans are a very rotten extremity of an otherwise very healthy and positive community.

There's no 'used to be,' the tech scene is not down with authoritarians today and never will be.
