Technologists who stray from the light and begin to imagine sociological solutions to major problems end up being just as silly as anti-technologists who do the same.

Agreed with both. Technological solutionism works but tech-bro sociology is inhuman and terrible.
Degrowthers — no matter which side they are on — are the true evil. The whole “technology can’t get us out of this!” is so insane. And dangerous. Motherfucker, it’s the only thing that can.
