"An influential Silicon Valley publication runs a cover story lamenting the
“pussification” of tech. A major tech CEO lambasts a Black civil rights
leader’s calls for diversifying the tech workforce. Technologists rage against
the “PC police”.
No, this isn’t Silicon Valley in the age of Maga. It’s the tech industry of the
1990s, when observers first raised concerns about the rightwing bend of Silicon
Valley and the potential for “technofascism”. Despite the industry’s (often
undeserved) reputation for liberalism, its reactionary foundations were baked
in almost from the beginning. As Silicon Valley enters a second Trump
administration, the gendered roots of its original reactionary movement offer
insight into today’s rightward turn."
