Have a hard time grasping such a thing would not have leaked. With evidence. If it was that widespread.

Do they though? Even leftist countries are drawing towards right wing extremists.
There are few places were leftist policies and leaders are doing well… and sure, they don’t exist in the US. But they do at many other places.
We’re slowly working towards becoming right wing
Anti-corp is not an issue where you either are, or you aren’t. It’s a scale. And people are voting for the party that is highest on the pro-corp scale in basically all of the world.
Makes it hard to believe that is such an important issue for people.
Doesn’t really seem like America really wants to cut ties with big corporations, seeing how people are voting. Nor identity politics for that matter, seems more important than ever among the right wing. Just that their identity politics is of a different kind.
I’m not saying I know wether it would be a good idea to actually do what you’re proposing. But I think people are way to quick to know the solution. Because it resonates with their own beliefs.
Worse than Nasdaq losing 80% of its value? Highly doubt it. Tech companies were bleeding.
But Denmark is.
Out of all my family and friends, if I had to pick one person to save my life based on wether they could find the correct password to a site or not. I’d go with my 80 year old grandma. She does it with pen and paper. It’s a god damn blessing doing tech support for her, she has every little detail on there.
What’s worrying is social media being politicised. There was a time when it was not, and it was hell of a lot better than what we have now.
I’m not on Bluesky because it aligns with my political views. I’m there because I do not have to look at, or engage in politics. I can speak about my interests. Really quite lovely.
It’s not the same though.

When I was a junior about 95% of my days was writing code. Nowadays? 30-40% maybe. The rest is meetings, code-review, helping colleagues that calls me among other things.
Good luck finding that Mr Algorithm. Commit history is basically useless due to another factor as well. For bugs - finding the actual problem and the reason for it, is often far more consuming than the fix itself.
Have I said anything else? My point was that there seem to be few indications of the people actually wanting leftist politics, and leftist leaders.
