Silicon Valley’s ‘Mission Protocol’ Revolution Is Beginning to Attain Critical Mass

In Silicon Valley, 17 years later, another kind of revolution is taking shape. A handful of founders and CEOs—Brian Armstrong of Coinbase, Jason Fried of Basecamp, Shopify’s Tobias Lütke, Medium’s Ev Williams—have said the unsayable. In the face of shop-floor social-justice activism, they’ve decided, business owners should resolve to stick to business.

...

In October, a pseudonymous group inspired by Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong came together under the banner “Mission Protocol,” with the aim of getting other companies to start “putting aside activities and conversations” outside the scope of their professional missions. (“Mission focus doesn’t mean being apolitical,” they note. “It means being political about the mission. This mission is what you came together to accomplish, and this mission is what you’re fighting for in your work on the project.”) Paul Graham, a famed venture capitalist and “hacker philosopher,” tweeted his support to 1.3 million followers. Melia Russell, who covers the startup beat for Business Insider, noted that startups were jumping into the Mission Protocol threads “with a hell yes.”

"How do we keep woke activists off the payroll?"

i.e. how to screen for them in the hiring process. One would think that would pretty simple.

It's a bit like how do you know a person is a Vegan?

They'll tell you!

When Coinbase said we’re sticking to our business mission and not chasing woke politics, 10% of their staff resigned. I think it was a third at Slack.

If they are a professional activist, but not someone who is just out of college.

How do we keep woke activists off the payroll? “It’s the first thing they want to talk about these days,” a vice president at a venture-capital shop told me.

A HUUUGGGEEE problem today. They invited these poisonous leeches into their company and now realize they are HR nightmares; just lawsuits and legal trouble waiting to happen.

Good. No place for that in the office.

They’d better hurry.It’s getting HOT out here. And I’m NOT referring to the weather.
NATHAN HALE and THE UN?
Was the site chosen for the “United Nations” a sick joke by the elite globalists and a middle finger in the faces of those who still love America and want her to survive?
Sure looks like it!

Back even 10 years ago, this would get you fired on the spot in any high tech company.
