    Technology is inherently political.

    This is something that has been known and taught for decades.

    Learning towards bad faith pedant here.

      you don’t know what inherent means, apparenty.

      fuck me, the “everything is political” crowd in here needs to touch some grass.

        You apparently are incapable of critical thinking if you don’t recognize political environments existing that drive the engineering of the technology in question. Thus being, wait for it, inherent.

          sure, many things influence what technology is being developed, politics, culture, economy. That does not make it inherent, ie. inseparable from it. That would mean that you can only have technology where politics play a relevant role, which is obviously not true.
