People 18-39 vote predominantly for Konfederacja (far right), KO (populist centre-right), PiS (populist right). I could dig some more precise sources with gender data but I think it’s telling that these are the results even with women in the mix. Coincidentally even among young women voting for far right is more common than for centre-left. I’m not mentioning left since their popularity is within a margin of error.

Yeah, artists skew left but you won’t find a more bigoted libertarian than a young polish programmer. Most of them are also pretty spoiled too because of the degressive tax system that favours them so much.

The temporarily embarrassed millionaires don't tend to be the ones going into gamedev: Our wages suck and being an indie is about as likely to make you rich as playing the lottery. I'd mostly limit that kind of behaviour to FAANG folks as well as people who should have studied business economics instead (or actually did) and probably can't code for shit anyway, in short: Techbros. They're about as toxic as your average corporate lawyer.

Assholes existing is a general feature of contemporary society, don't pin it on people understanding "there are 10 kinds of people" jokes.
