Silicon Valley is not conservative in any sense of the word.
SV is libertarian to radically libertarian on nearly all fiscal issues. They are left of center on some social issues.
Yes SV is not GOP conservative. But it is nonetheless right of center. I really think you don't understand that libertarians can be liberal on social issues, while being conservative on social issues. This is still very right of center.
Ultimately money has to be part of the equation
for the vast majority of worthy causes.
This is capitalist propaganda. Some problems require social change not economic, and they are worthy causes. Some worthy causes simply need legal changes.
And if you think I'm just one of those greedy capitalists peddling propaganda
The cognitive dissonance is real.
I say this as someone who took a 60% pay cut
in hopes of ultimately making more impact on the world.
Doing what? Taking a pay cut to join a startup to change the world?
The idea that not being paid what you are worth IS some how heroic is capitalist propaganda. The idea is to make you feel morally superior when being paid less, and guilty when being paid more.
