    1/ Thought: The internet, software firms, open source, etc are all effectively 20-25 years old, as culturally important spaces / as locuses of power. The left colonized all of them far faster, and far harder, than they colonized other spaces before then.

        2/ I suspect that the high speed coms / short cycle time / open discussion format of web tech / culture made this possible. In 2010 you can see open source projects, you can join mailing lists, you can email sympathetic allies, and get a response...all in a few hours.

        3/ Compare that to entryism in college faculty, or a magazine, or whatever. Outsiders don't have transparency into how any of them work, It takes months or years to join, and once joined, it might take years or decades to build alliances and rise.

        4/ A magazine in 1980 has an all hands meeting once per year, where you can ask your boss' boss' a fraught question in front of witnesses. In 2021 you've got the corporate slack running 24x7.

        >the left colonized them fast two more factors: the nerdy side of tech is highly susceptible to inviting "cool girls" much of the tech (founders partly aside) is rooted in academia, thus pre-programmed with latent progressivism - receptive to key wordshttps://twitter.com/DoppelMark/status/1273045524711706624 …

        which is why the take-over appears so *rapid* in fact it's been taking place for a long while, but only now it's been judged to be right time to *activate* the "soft allies" by use of *triggers* embedded in them through education & media https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/05/tracking-timespeak-through-time.php … pic.twitter.com/QpRI85K3Ab
