The people that work for big tech in SV are overwhelmingly liberal, in nearly all respects.
And sometimes they contain contradictions in their belief systems.
It doesn't have to be one or the other. In reality people are very frequently a wild mixture ideologically.
Just because you work for a defense contractor making cruise missiles, that doesn't mean you aren't / can't be a liberal. It means you're perhaps inconsistent in your values, which is more typical than not with people generally.
Our human history is filled with sayings and rules about these things, precisely because of how common hypocrisy, contradiction, irrationality are. Do as I say not as I do. Preaching the golden rule and routinely breaking it. Judging others by what they do and judging yourself by your (good) intentions. Pot calling the kettle black. And on and on and on similarly across all cultures.
