Grey tribe's social progressiveness is mostly an accident

It’s not an accident. It’s rooted in the counter culture moment that was that basis for Silicon Valley moving beyond weapons manufacturing and embracing the internet.

Heh, only to circle back around and make internet enabled weapons eventually.

Counter-culture was a blue tribe thing. The grey tribe latched onto it and redirected it away from their own economic interests, which paved the way for neoliberalism and deindustrialization.
