>This seems like a pretty accurate assessment of events to me. So where exactly does pandering to racists, fear mongering against the "other", and demonizing the powerless, feature in the SV analogy? Is that "disregarding the rules"? Rules meaning, being civil, ethical and sane. I suppose under a certain Machiavellian light, slavery could also be considered as "disregarding the rules". Maybe SV should start adopting political tactics too. Robocalls that ask you how you would feel if you knew that Google employees were "perhaps" looking at your teenage daughters pictures. Demonize php developers while lying to win32 developers about bringing their jobs back, etc.. :)
