Agreed, but I still see value in wasting my working hours making sure people here at least see the reality.

All I have to offer this forum while I'm a student is politics, which I do know better than at least some here. There is no technology I can really offer a valuable opinion on, more than the experts here.

It's my armchair activism to at least make sure that the left's point of view is not wholly absent on this forum of affluent, insulated tech bros. Plus, my job has a lot of down time, so there are worse ways I could spend it.

It would be better if your goal was not to make "the left's point of view" more well-known (which is just pushing an ideology), but to call out unsubstantiated rightwing BS using evidence and reason.
They're the same picture meme goes here.

Left wing positions, while they control no branches of the government and have no power is literally to raise alarms about what the fascists are doing, and how silly their propagandized reasoning is. That is exactly what I'm doing.

pushing ideology of anti fascists == calling out right wing bs using evidence (climate change, vaccine science, hell, any scientific research at this point all tick both of your boxes)

My last comment had about six sources, but I could find dozens more if you still find yourself blind and tasting fascist boot.

you don't even realize yet that you can't use "fascist" in a good faith argument without defining it precisely, because it's simply used as a cudgel word by both sides... and literally has been for almost 100 years
