“Silicon Valley..bunch of globalists who've forgotten their fellow Americans”
Is this true?
- Khelavaster 9y agoMostly. Or they grew up in places where they never got to understood how Americans in most of America are culturally.
- redsable 9y agoAre you suggesting that they are remembering their fellow man and forgetting their fellow Americans? Or are they forgetting everyone? I find it hard to believe their are many in Silicon Valley who remember their fellow man but forget their fellow Americans. Could happen, but I guess it is a small number.

- Powerofmene 9y agoCan you give some examples that make you think this? I know you are speaking about SV generally but YC alone is undertaking the basic income project, has funded a number of non-profits, etc. What is it you think SV should be focusing on that it is not paying proper attention?

- drallison 9y agoThis quote comes from a Steve Bannon interview in the Economist: Bannon also said that Silicon Valley and Wall Street consist of "a bunch of globalists who have forgotten their fellow Americans..." Lazyeye asks: Is this true? The answer: no.
- redsable 9y agoIn connection to my point below, do GLOBALISTS equal.... 1. Globalists= we don't care for anyone or 2. Globalists= we only care for the people from the country we are from or 3. Globalists= we care for everyone but the people in America. Overall I would say that it doesn't really matter which group people are in above (1, 2 or 3) America still benefits from having these people here. A true capitalist would understand this. A mercantilist doesn't. Bannon is a Mercantilist who believe that patriotism defines how much we add value to where we live.
