Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

ikr i've already seen it too
I have been having this feeling in a couple places too, heh
My hope is that either more progressive third party options become more viable OR the dems finally understand that being essentially republican is a bad strategy and actually become progressive. I know the reality is that the dems will learn nothing from this as they have clearly learned nothing from 2016.
I'll bet quite a lot that they'll learn the exact wrong thing from this and decide that they just weren't republican enough.
Overton window, more like overton viewfinder. Point it wherever you like and the median voter will agree everything to its left is radical extremism.
Hope is a mistake 2028!!!
and for 2032:
The worst part about Trump being president is Trump being president for a year. The second worst part is Vance being president for the next three (after Trump dies of heart failure). The third worst part is the fact that I've been owned in a way I can't even explain to my closest friends.
What did sideburns ever to do that guy?
the bit i wonder about is: would president couchfucker block weapons exports to Ukraine
The third worst part is the fact that I’ve been owned in a way I can’t even explain to my closest friends.
Oh god, this so much. Well, third worst for me personally, as a non-American white guy. I suppose Palestinians, Ukrainians, and marginalized groups in the US might have a few issues they'd rank higher.
Fuck it, off-the-cuff prediction: I expect resistance to Silicon Valley is gonna turn violent during Trump's term.

I mean, if there exists sufficiently motivated opposition I'm given to understand that guns and improvised explosives aren't broadly limited by cost. The fact that the market is failing to correct (or more accurately, the human costs aren't impacting the finances) might end up being further motivation for more kinetic action.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong about this line of thought.
well, people have been making these things for hundreds of years by now, but there are some other restrictions, some of which are cultural
I sincerely hope I’m wrong about this line of thought.
If the tech industry is implicated in Trump's election in any way, I suspect you'll be proven right.
I mean, I don't think that there's the same kind of preexisting social/political/economic infrastructure to support that kind of terrorism on the left as the militia movement on the right, which I think is going to be what prevents things from devolving into outright violence.

this shit reads exactly like corporate raider playbook
“Our mission at Mozilla is more high-stakes than ever,” wrote Syed in an email to staff, a copy of which was shared with TechCrunch. “We find ourselves in a relentless onslaught of change in the technology (and broader) world, and the idea of putting people before profit feels increasingly radical.”
