Looking at from the other side of the globe, as a non-american. I get the impression that in silicon valley, technology is all about skin color, what you have between your legs and what you want to do with what you have between you legs - end of story. Those are the really important bit. Everything else is just the details.
It looks like pure politics, keep conservatives out and keep liberals in. His fault wasn't the donation. His fault was being outed as a conservative.
I think someone should try wearing a trump hat to work at a technology company for a week and see how long they last in the organization.
- ksec 6y agoYes. I sometimes wonder if there any conservatives in Silicon Valley.
- AlexandrB 6y agoConsidering the number of libertarians in technology. I'd say yes, there are many. They're just not the bible-thumping kind that you're thinking of.
- ahelwer 6y agoIf you aren't in America, and you're frequenting (largely) American discussion boards, you're going to see the topics that get a lot of discussion - things where not everyone is on board with one side or the other. This of course tilts heavily toward culture issues. Some people like to wax poetic about getting along with people with whom you disagree. But there's a difference between disagreeing on, say, tabs vs. spaces or fiscal policy or something, and disagreeing about what sort of people do or do not deserve rights. This situation clearly falls in the latter category and attempts to conflate it with the former are very unconvincing.

- driverdan 6y agoIt is when your company's CEO actively fights against it.
- dmingod666 6y agowhy only in IT..? Why not in for example its not an issue for car manufacturing companies or oil companies?
- driverdan 6y agoNo one said it should be limited to IT.
