Peter Thiel: I'm leaving 'totalitarian' Silicon Valley

WUT?! Surely the ever tolerant left values open discussion on various subjects. Just look at the peaceful discussions held last Wednesday during the self thought out walk out at numerous schools across the country when differing thoughts and ideas were celebrated and people rights were...... Oh, never mind.

[Vision]

The Left is hate.

I can't say I remember him or his convention address

He made sure to tell us he was gay again and the conservatives should just stop pushing cultural and social issues.

Really getting sick of the California exodus. You broke it, you pay for it. Don’t come to my state and screw it up too.

[Brilliant]

Silicon Valley is in a funk. Haven’t made any significant advances for years. Maybe it’s because they don’t tolerate different viewpoints.

Thiel is not leaving California. He is moving to MY city of L.A. which according to the Guardian, is going through a conservative revival...

Supposedly... 😎🤔☺

Come out to one of the many hi-tech communities in Fly-Over Country and build an alternative to Silicon Valley. It’s time.

LA going through a conservative revival? Yeah, okee dokee.

[OttawaFreeper]

Maybe this is what is controlling Silicon Valley nowadays.

It was when Republicans embraced homosexuality and Trump was so relieved that the crowd didn’t boo him.

The Republicans moved to the left:
Liberal virtue: The loving embrace of depravity.

[Deplorable American1776]

I do agree with him...if you don’t agree with Sillycon Valley (yes, my take on it) people, they get hateful.

The key is venture capital. And you can spend your life trying to coax a Thiel or two to show up, but they have a weird little cult lifestyle: they don’t like to drive very far to check on their companies.

That, in a nutshell, is the real reason everything is concentrated in the Santa Clara Valley.

So you have to do it on your own. You might get one or two of them, not much more.

Phoenix did it in the ‘60s with the Phoenix 40. Austin sorta kinda did it with a few offshoots from UT and then an influx of Stupid Valley outsourcing (Apple and Intel) back in the 90s.

But it can be done, and the price differential will make you a worldbeater.

OK, perhaps I didn’t remember a queer

[rktman]

👹. Yup. There is no disagreeing with "them" allowed. If you try, you get attacked. But for "them", that's okay. "Us", not so much. "We" get branded as racist, homophobic, haters, nazis, oppressors and on and on and on. Oh well, 🍿🍻🇺🇸

As he should. The GOP is a coalition. Each piece of the coalition needs to make its preferences known, or those interests will be steamrolled, and the coalition will fall apart, as the aggrieved members leave, to the detriment of all of its components.

What a nice way you have of saying that. We are much better off with the Peter Thiels of the world in our coalition.
