In the English speaking capitalistic countries, it is traditional for a good portion of the working class to take on the outlook of their masters/boss/landlord a time honored tradition.

Are you actually seriously trying to imply Silicon Valley tech workers are NOT globalised? Do you even know who who actually works in the Valley?

My experience is that the sympathy and animosity was purely performative.

Most tech workers will readily drop all of their ideals for a fatter paycheck. And don't even get me started on all the leftist friends i have in the tech circle that have been profiting off the rise of stock prices from palantir, tesla, spacex and many more similar companies (non-trivial example: rheinmetall).

Yep

And they expect to be the last ones standing. If they lose their jobs to AI they will not understand why no one has any sympathy for them

> In Marxist and anarchist theories, the labor aristocracy is the segment of the working class which has better wages and working conditions compared to the broader proletariat, often enabled by their specialized skills, by membership in trade unions or guilds, and in a global context by the exploitation of colonized or underdeveloped countries. Due to their better-off condition, such workers are more likely to align with the bourgeoisie to maintain capitalism instead of advocating for broader working-class solidarity
