This is not a sudoroom event. There may be plenty of people who have
opinions about this - I suggest you seek them out and not stir shit up here.

It doesn't imply that at all. That's actually
the question I'm asking -
what am I supposed to make of this generalized hostility to "google
employees" as if they are a clearly separated social world from the Omni et
all, and not one area of the web of overlapping tech/ engineering/ hacking
social worlds? "tech" is a big world stretching from Noisebridge and sudo
room to the university CS departments. People work for themselves and for
companies, start ups get swallowed up by bigger start ups ... I do not
think it is a mere coincidence that the metro area that contains the
country's biggest tech companies also contains the most hackerspaces. It
looks like it's all part of the same phenomenon.

Besides bumming me out because its hostile, it
also scares me a little.
You guys know some of these people better, what is going
on?

The redacted words are "autistic sociopath." Sounds like general
backlash, not entirely gentrification or buses?

We hosted their event. One Omni person was bottom lining it, but
didn't read the full poster before approving. Another Omni person saw
the posters and do-o-cratically crossed out the word "autistic". Then
we asked the organizers to correct all their flyers, which they
apparently did.
Our community has no love for Google, gentrification, OR for ableism.
We are sorry to have our name associated with any of those things.
"Anti-intellectualism" is just a cheap shot which portrays tech
workers as intellectual and everyone else as stupid. This is an
economic issue. You should know better.
