    Techbrodom is characterised by a few key behaviour traits:

    • sweeping arrogance about the value of non tech fields, and the quality of their own ideas. Often manifesting as assertions that non stem education is pointless and that other fields are doing it wrong.
    • Uncritical regurgitation of propaganda around the effectiveness of capitalism and markets.
    • Misogynistic and racist attitudes. Western surpremicism.
    • Social dominance oriented. People who can be taken advantage of should be, technocrats should rule by virtue of their programming aptitudes
    • User hostility. The belief that any friction between designer/supporter and user is the result of inadequacies on the user’s behalf. A general desire to enforce their standards on users.
