The work culture at rich tech companies (people read something upsetting in the news and want to discuss and 'process' it on company time) is so alien from most people's experience of work that it makes me despair for ever finding common ground with the actual working class

Completely agreed! And I agree that tech workers have a long way to grow in their tactics and demands. But I also think we should end the pattern where their organizing is dismissed as frivolous or ideological when race & gender are the issues being organized around.

That advocacy (I hesitate to call it organizing because it's in some ways the opposite of organizing) is not frivolous, but it *has* become highly ideological. And unfortunately it rewards escalation and drama.
