Irony is, those in need of deprogramming the most are the ones into programming. How is it even possible that people that are supposed to be so intelligent/logical/rational are actually this gullible to state’s propaganda that they believe it without a shred of doubt.
take it from a programmer, folks: knowing how to make computer do magic doesnt equate to general intelligence or automatically make one better at unrelated things like politics. computer shit is a skill like any other that just happens to have a (false) connotation of “high intelligence” whatever that means.

Also a code monkey. Programming requires very little intelligence (not that intellugence is even real).
+1 more from a software developer. I’m getting more alienated from my work every day :/
this is the truth and it applies to all fields
I’ve met a fair share of programmers who think they’re a unique gift to the world but could barely tie their own shoelaces figuratively
Any specific text from him?
State and Revolution; Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism; “Left-Wing” Communism: An Infantile Disorder; and What is to be Done? are the texts I see most often recommended.
