This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
If you haven't already found it, this GitHub page is an excellent collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics, made by @dessalines and others.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a private Matrix room. See this thread for more information.

I'm a programmer as well, but being good at your job does not mean your political ideas are better as a consequence. It just means you have the capacity for it, not that it's being used.
Also, programmers are paid better, so I'd imagine they would believe we live in a meritocracy and tend to ignore those below them (they don't know they exist).
I'm sure it's not just programmers who have this issue.
I'm sorry am I missing something? How does being a programmer relate to political leaning?
The same way being a mechanical engineer relates to political leaning, I'd assume.
I don't think it does. It also doesn't mean they are not intelligent. It just means they spent a long time studying their trade, which is commendable.
But if you want to understand politics, you need to do like the rest of us and study politics. You can't look at a bucket and then say you understand the river.
