Former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo: Capitalists Will Be ‘First People Lined Up Against The Wall and Shot in the Revolution’
Breitbart ^ | October 01 2020 | LUCAS NOLAN

Posted on 10/01/2020 11:58:50 AM PDT by knighthawk

Former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo recently tweeted that “me-first capitalists” who disagree with injecting political activism into their workplaces will be “the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the revolution.” The company has not commented if the tweet by Costolo, who has an estimated net worth of $300 million, violates its policies against glorifying violence.

In a recent tweet, former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo discussed a decision by Brian Armstrong, the CEO of the cryptocurrency firm Coinbase, to not promote political activism and social justice within the company. Armstrong’s comments fly in the face of ultra-progressive tech firms such as Facebook and Google.

In a blog post to Medium.com, Armstrong stated that the company would not focus on things such as broader societal issues, stating: “We don’t engage here when issues are unrelated to our core mission, because we believe impact only comes with focus.” Discussing politics, Armstrong said: “We don’t advocate for any particular causes or candidates internally that are unrelated to our mission, because it is a distraction from our mission. Even if we all agree something is a problem, we may not all agree on the solution.”

Very weird how the (former) CEO of Twitter, who probably is a billionaire, is a “red capitalist.” I wonder who really pulls his strings.

Put his name on a list.

I love how he thinks he will be spared...

A rich white capitalist.

He yearns for a revolution.

Has no idea of how brutal and barbaric it will be.

And how the useful idiots are the first to be liquidated.

Another accounting of the event:

I wonder if he’s contemplated the concept that putting people up against the wall might be a little trickier than first imagined.

He is so wrong. First step after the revolution is to wipe out any opposition within the party and consolidate power. Media is next and after that, the wealthy liberals who live in the big city.

Conservative leadership eventually and the rest of us are so far down the list. We are the earners. Even the useful idiots who won’t shut up are higher on the list than us.

Remember, until full power is consolidated, no one is coming for the guns, regardless of what laws the new junta declares
