It is completely inexcusable that people in STEM fields are so reactionary, considering how capitalism utterly destroys science.
If universities were actually "left wing indoctrination factories" like the right thinks they are, every STEM grad would be taught, for example, what Kropotkin had to say about innovation.
In my experience, people going into STEM treat that as an unfortunate necessity, rather than going "oh boy, time to join the military industrial complex"
Not my friends in highschool who were happy as fuck to become chemical engineers and go to work "making bombs or whatever oil companies need doing"
My friends sister went to cornell and is pumped to work for Raytheon
