Formerly vaguely liberal-moderate, more recently moderate-to-neoconservative
|
|
|
|
|
(hackers too were affected by the collapse of socialism). There is a strong
|
|
|
|
|
libertarian contingent which rejects conventional left-right politics
|
|
|
|
|
entirely. The only safe generalization is that hackers tend to be rather
|
|
|
|
|
anti-authoritarian; thus, both paleoconservatism and hard leftism are rare.
|
|
|
|
|
Hackers are far more likely than most non-hackers to either (a) be
|
|
|
|
|
aggressively apolitical or (b) entertain peculiar or idiosyncratic political
|
|
|
|
|
ideas and actually try to live by them day-to-day.
