      My boss is a member of a different industry’s union and participated in their (admittedly milquetoast) strike a few months ago.

      I’m still really cagey and both my coworkers and different flavoured chuds. The Christian one appreciates my knowledge of comparative religion, since everyone else seems to be a “rationalist” that actively avoids knowing anything about religion.

        They don’t need religion; they got pseudosecular religion at home.

          At least one is an unbelievably hard core nationalist. He worships the F35 and is considering becoming a cop or a navy stooge. He’s also the most belligerent >.>

            Boot-bros are the worst kind of techbros. I’ve known a few in college that went on to work directly for the military-industrial complex, and they were giddy about doing imperialism. One of them even directly compared himself to Doogie Howser from the Starship Troopers movie. i-am-adolf-hitler
