Tech bros whether they realize it or not are living a philosophy of fear. They say: in order for YOU to be healthy and safe, we should be allowed to trample THEM (the undesirables), because trust us, the end result will be worth it.

Why not both? Why not both technological progress hand in hand with progress in human rights?

They tell us that any slowdown to progress is evil, that they are justified in their crimes because in "the future" all will be fine and dandy.

And what a beautiful future they are bringing us, with the destruction of post WW2 prosperity, increasing wealth inequality, etc etc.
