Only a person who has no idea about left wing politics could describe tech companies as "extremely left wing." They are just boring old neoliberals.

I don't see the need for this sort of poor attitude in phrasing. I have some idea about left wing politics, and also have seen a lot of very left-leaning policies enforced at social media companies and other related companies. You might say some people are neoliberal, or being very left wing (or perhaps "progressive") between 2010-2020 was just the most money-making stance for a neoliberal, but that doesn't seem particularly relevant.


Why don't you actually firm up your original claim with examples, because as stated large numbers of people disagree with it for good reason, and it's not clear what you mean by 'left wing'.


Fabian socialism is all about wearing a neoliberal mask.
