the reasons he thinks programmers aren't workers seem to be threefold (a) they earn too much, (b) they don't sweat enough and (c) they align with their bosses. and – to me at least – is obvious, that he only deigns to use the word “worker” for people who do (hard enough) manual labour.

this – from a dude who has a baccalaureate in italianistics, magisterium in linguistics and studies for phd in history – is an obvious intelligentsja stereotyping. lad thinks he's punching up, and in reality he's punching down.

i'm not a fan of military industry, but that doesn't make me claim the workers there are not proletariat.
