"It's amazing how you tech liberals are always the one to break the rules. They start out all disruptive and cool, and then it's like, 'Oh, but we don't want to pay taxes, and we don't want to give our workers their rights, 'cause we're just a scrappy little startup that started over a pizza shop, and the rules don't apply to us now that we have the wealth of a medium-sized country.'"

"This phenomenon arose circa 2010 when the proliferation of popular tech-themed movies such as 21, The Social Network, and Iron Man, and tech-celebrities such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, glamorized technical skills. As such those who often grew up as socially repressed outcasts or 'nerds' due to their academic or technical aptitude and social ineptitude now found themselves in socially desirable class of society. This incited a once repressed demographic to become much more socially active despite social cluelessness, resulting in an obnoxious culture that tends to mimic stereotypical 'jock', 'bro', or 'cool' culture in combination with the egotism, insensitivity, and terrible humor of 'nerd' culture."
