“Ethnically cleanse,” he said at one point, summing up his idea for a city purged of Blues (this, he says, will prevent Blues from ethnically cleansing the Grays first).
Conservatives are incredibly fucked up. They can’t fathom coexisting with people who aren’t like them without wanting to “ethnically cleanse” them, so they naturally assume everybody else thinks like this as well
After reading, the gist of it seems to be:
- Vanilla far-right indoctrinated dumbo (his vision: “Reds” welcome, “Blues” not, “Anti-Blue Propaganda” on public view screens)
- Wants exploitative capitalism on steroids with companies controlling everyone’s lives completely
- Claims current capitalism is only bad because it’s “woke capitalism” which he claims the “ruling class” is pushing
- Wants tech bros to butter up police and give security staff jobs to their children as a favor, i.e. intentional social classism
.
In short, just another out of touch entrepreneur who sells snake oil cures to people suffering in the current system, so that they may invite in the boot that stomps them down for good.
It’s funny because he thinks that his status as a “gray” would protect him from the “reds.” just another useful idiot for fascism.
Grey suits. Where have I seen that before?🤔
By the beard, this is some next-level shit. Imagine listening to his jibber-jabber about Grays and thinking “that sounds like a good idea”?
This new “ruling CEO” class is bloody dangerous.
The speech won roars from the audience at Y Combinator
Starting to get why everyone else in the Bay area hates the tech people
Counter-offer: no.
I’m not a SF native, but from my understanding, the problem with SF is the NIMBYs, and this takes NIMBY to the extreme.
Whats a nimby? Tiny nibblers?
Not In My Back Yard. Basically the people in the community who will reject anything that impacts them in a slightly negative way.
For SF, this means homeowners who don’t want to see property values drop due to new construction, or who don’t want to sell to make room for new construction. Likewise for homeless shelters, train lines, etc. Those things need to go somewhere, but if everyone says “but not here,” it doesn’t get built.
