Lest I be accused of making up a guy to get mad at, please enjoy the comments on this very thread for a curated selection of bros pointing at an isolated element in a value system and proclaiming "behold, it is neutral!"

There are even studies on this (it's only 15 pages so not a heavy lift)

Dropping this here, for those who think that it goes more or less without saying that technology is neutral. (It doesn't.) faculty.cc.gatech.edu/~beki/cs4001...

And the video linked at the top of the thread is absolutely worth watching if you still think technology can be divorced from politics.

I mean for a given value technology is in theory neutral, its application by people however is very much not. Unless technology can apply itself somehow entirely from scratch without any human involvement it won’t ever be neutral…
