Why Geeks Are Never Conservative

April 5th 2007 14:18
Point by point, geeks are never conservatives because...

  • They have day jobs
  • They never shy away from seeing the fuller picture, they want to see the full picture
  • They don't tend to come from rich families
  • They never come from a red state
  • They have day jobs
  • They also aren't gullible
  • They aren't idiots
  • They aren't idiots
  • Can't emphasize this enough: THEY ARENT IDIOTS
  • They have better things to do than be idiots
  • Because 'they' has been over used

    awww, I love trees But not that way.

    Cheers for showing off exactly what kind of person you are in one sentence, and congratulations too, takes some effort to do that.

    Eh? I know a ton of geeks who are conservative...or libertarian. Actually I'd say libertarianism is probably the most common political philosophy you'll find among geeks. And that has more in common with conservatism than say, John Edwards philosophy. True leftists who'd honestly rather be working for a government bureaucracy instead of on short-term private contracts, are actually rather hard to find among geeks.

    On the list you use to prove this...man, it's really counterproductive. You must realize that it reads like this: because they're lazy, are born in arbitrary locations and are possessed with a meglomanically inflated sense of their own intelligence. That last point requires so much self-selected reassurance you have to say it three or four times apparently. You've gotta realize how that makes you look like the exact opposite. Has anyone ever been convinced of the intelligence of someone because they themselves told you they were smart? I'm not sure that's ever happened in recorded his history.

    Where you stand depends on where you sit.

    Go hug a tree... ?

    Buddy, you're as 'bad' as what you're trying to argue against.

    hi, anon #2, obviously you fail to notice this has been in jest which leads me to believe that you are a knucklehead

    That last point requires so much self-selected reassurance you have to say it three or four times apparently.

    Thats part of the joke dude, any geek would have realized that

    You can tell that to the fifty plus class mates that go to my ever liberal university who had a good laugh out of my jokes

    Sorry to say, but some people... well some people are just really funny and some aren't.
