I'm uvpoting this post pour encourager les autres, so we can talk about it and mock you^W^Wdiscuss it and posts like it in one place. >As I write this, none of the top 30 links pertain to the massive emergency engulfing Y Combinator's home country, which will have rippling negative effects around the world. What "massive emergency"? What "negative effects"? Every four years the losing voters will say that it's the end of the world, and yet here we are, going through the same tired shit yet again. > Collectively the readers here could form the bedrock of a powerful resistance to what will very clearly be an abominable and destructive regime. First, the people here are entrepreneurs and many of them would be the first to sell software to run trains to the camps if it meant turning a buck. The people here are the sort whose businesses collect the data that would used by a fascist state. The people here are the type to laugh at the enslavement of the poor by the service industry. I would count on them not one goddamned bit. Second, looking past the silly rhetoric and bluster, how can we claim the "very cleary...an abominable and destructive regime" bit? What, like the excessive assassinations via drones Obama carried out? Or the bombings of countries the US conducted under Clinton? Or the comically large fuckup of military adventurism under Bush II? You gotta do better if you want to sound credible. > What does it mean that we as a community are silent about perhaps the most important turning point in society so far in most of our lifetimes? More important than 9/11 and the Patriot Act? More important than the fall of the Berlin Wall? More important than the release of Netscape and IE? More important than Facebook and Twitter and Paypal? Do you even read what you're saying? Your alarm is only matched by your ignorance.
