Lots personal anecdotes placing nerds on the centre-left, centre, liberal, but independent-minded rather than groupthinky. https://twitter.com/kprmsn/status/903604248398766080 …

I'm afraid that gamergate and Trump has put a huge dent in that optimistic evaluation of "nerds", and I think of myself as one.

You think Trump supporters are mostly nerds? Highly analytical, intelligent people who work in technical areas?

No, I think that a substantial number of nerds have rightwing leanings that corresponds to some of Trump's talking points, eg. James Damore.

James Damore got fired for saying gender differences existed by google. Surely google is full of nerds. Do they seem right-wing?

That's a rather simplistic take on the James Damore, but he's far from the only one having problems with a pluralistic work place.

Very many people have a problem with diversity & pluralism which insists on one view of things coz its neither diverse nor pluralistic.

Absolutely, but that isn't relevant. Otherwise it would be pointless to discuss a topic, because some people got something wrong.

Huh? Could you rephrase? Not sure how this relates. I'm saying diversity & pluralism can't exist when only view is allowed.
