The only safe generalization is that hackers tend to be rather
|
|
|
|
|
anti-authoritarian, so on a political compass chart they tend
|
|
|
|
|
to be somewhere within the libertarian left or libertarian right
|
|
|
|
|
quadrants. Since technology impacts upon so many aspects of
|
|
|
|
|
society it is rare for hackers to claim to be entirely apolitical,
|
|
|
|
|
and those that do make such a claim are typically just having
|
|
|
|
|
their viewpoints manipulated by popular media, which invariably
|
|
|
|
|
does have a political agenda.
