Tech Tycoon: Silicon Valley Is ‘Extremely Liberal,’ Doesn’t Understand Rest Of America
Posted on May 31, 2017 by admin
 

Venture capitalist and tech guru Marc Andreessen reportedly said Tuesday that Silicon Valley is so liberal that it doesn’t understand most of America.

“Silicon Valley is extremely left-wing, extremely liberal,” Andreessen said during a conference, according to TechCrunch. “It’s really hard for a lot of people in Silicon Valley to even articulate the other side.”

Popular figures within Silicon Valley, the colloquial term for the region and people within the tech hub in the general San Francisco and San Jose area, were extremely upset when President Donald Trump was set to defeat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race.

Clinton garnered around 84 percent of the vote in San Francisco, while Trump only received a relatively meager 10 percent.

Most of them live in their own little word.   They think if they hit the lottery with an piece of software it means we care what they think about policy.
Fools mock, tongues wag, babies cry and goats bleat.

I would bet most are actually more liberal/libertarian than they are left-wing. Left-wing means something different than merely liberal . A leftist is somebody  who wants to change/control the economic system to gain power.   Liberals, in the common sense of the term, love money....they just would like other people to pay for their ridiculous social programs.
But, in fact, SV had turned down demands by Jesse Jackass er Jackson and other SJWs to hire incompetent black people.  The SV bigshots know doing that would harm their bottom line.  More than social causes, they love making money above everything else and living the good life that the market has given them.
It would be great seeing a split where the country was divided between those social justice-loving libs and the conservative half. When the SJWs and all their violent pet groups come after the SV millionaires and billionaires to "share the wealth" i.e. confiscate their dough,  they'll be knocking on the 100 foot high wall separating the two countries begging to be let into conservative U.S. and out of the Socialist States of America.

This is the guy that wrote the original successful web (HTML) browser, Mosaic, which became Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox.  Even IE used to say "Based on Mosaic" (though I don't think they used any of the code, which was pretty apparent and probably still is).

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
I wouldn't call them liberal, more like globalist fascists.
The Republic is lost.
