the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I am sorry you have interacted with "the tech community" and their bizarre claim of "long termism" but also hedging their bets and saying they don't really believe that.
I think it's something like the "Narcissist's Prayer" where of course they don't believe it unless their grifting stumbles on something that makes them hope they might become immortal god-kings yet.
I think they earnestly believe it and the real grifting is the "center left" facade they have so they don't get kicked out of the polycule
Up until a few years ago I do recall getting brought up, uninvited, in almost every left-leaning online community I can think of, usually under some pretense of "but what about E~L~O~N? He's one of the good ones and (press release copypaste about saving humanity and humans becoming interplanetary species here)"
I have met many of this one guy in person.
Me too, me too.
CA, especially around Napa Valley, was lousy with them.
