I've noticed something that I think is worth pointing out: pretty much ALL of the pushback I have gotten on LinkedIn over the past few months over stories critical of this administration has come from men in IT. Many of whom no doubt idolize Musk, who in their minds can walk on water.

Conversely, the response almost universally I've seen from female non/male people in IT and security professionals on LinkedIn has been a great deal more appropriate, i.e. horror, disgust and revulsion for the way this administration is treating federal employees, veterans, the courts, judges, lawyers, journalists, and important, long-standing U.S. policy interests.

I guess what I'm saying is nobody should expect the men in IT to lead the resistance. So many of them are like this guy: angry, aggressive, and really excited about the good old US of A going back to the 80s. Like the 1880s.

Karl is really mad, too. Although, I think maybe that anger is misdirected. Karl's response is typical LinkedIn Reply Guy whataboutism stuff ("where were you when Hunter Biden's laptop..")

Karl's profile says he is a f/t cybersecurity program architect for Microsoft's Asia/Pacific region. I feel safer already.

@briankrebs they’re doing the “actually, it’s about ethics in journalism” thing again. How original. Is he in the same group chat as the gamergate people?
