I wish the people who hated "techie scum" made a stand against tech by not using our products, to begin with. It's very hypocritical to be running that campaign on the internet. Of course, it could be high nosed irony.
Especially since Teespring has a San Francisco office: http://teespring.theresumator.com/
Front page exposure on HN will probably be enough to get them to sell out their first print run.
It's hipster/ironic.
No, that's German. Google translate says it means:
The Techie Scum Save San Francisco
The Techie Scum Save San Francisco
Interesting that techies and not real estate developers or zoning boards have become the scapegoats for high rents and housing prices.
it is also reflection of passive position techies occupy in life, ie. the fact that zoning boards and other pieces of government aren't actively affected by the new population. Have salary enough to pay my way through and in good health to get a date - life is grand ... don't care for the rest (who brought it on themselves by not getting a CS degree) or can't do much to help even if feel like care.
Note: i don't bash here because i myself was that way and pretty much is in many respects.
One of the underlying reasons for such non-involvement may be the fact that politics is really a thinly veiled violence, and my generation - gen-X - and the millenials found the sanctuary from it (i.e. feeling like they found it as such sanctuary is impossible, just an illusion of it if you can afford it) in technology.

we make an easier target.
Yeah, real activism vs. hard targets is hard so let's bash the nerds.
Slacktivists.

I'm sure it couldn't have anything to do with the dismissive and generally superior attitude already displayed in the comments here.
Can I get one that says, "Die Techie Scum, and Take Your Tax Contributions and Technology With You!"?
