Do you support sustainability, social responsibility, tech ethics, or trust and safety? Congratulations, you’re an enemy of progress. That’s according to the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen.

I know they're just trying to sound clever but what a dumb framing. "Oh ho ho Greta Thunberg, you want immediate change, let's nuke the North Pole! Not so into immediate change now, are you?"

Obviously people don't want a thing that vaguely aligns with a phrase they use but which is 100% antithetical to their interests.

Of course they'd be against it. It's basically a free money machine, once you get into it

Getting pretty tired of seeing people skirt around the issue and instead of zooming out a little more and seeing the big picture, are surrendering to existence under capitalism, and make a living telling us how to make the "best" of it (like they're convinced they are? I'm not even sure anymore).

Hey tech billionaires, if you want to talk about radical change, let’s abolish ~~venture~~ capitalism

Imagine that being delivered like a cartoon cigar to all 2000+ of them, and it exploding off their face. That would actually be fucking radical, not this bullshit..
