The Tech Baron Seeking to “Ethnically Cleanse” San Francisco [Left-wing editorial about counter-progressives]

To fully grasp the current situation in San Francisco, where venture capitalists are trying to take control of City Hall, you must listen to Balaji Srinivasan. Before you do, steel yourself for what’s to come: A normal person could easily mistake his rambling train wrecks of thought for a crackpot’s ravings, but influential Silicon Valley billionaires regard him as a genius.

[snip] Srinivasan defines the Blue political tribe as the liberal voters he implies are responsible for the city’s problems. Blues will be banned from the Gray-controlled zones... While the Blues would be excluded, they would not be forgotten. Srinivasan imagines public screenings of anti-Blue propaganda films... The Grays will rename city streets after tech figures and erect public monuments to memorialize the alleged horrors of progressive Democratic governance. Corporate logos and signs will fill the skyline to signify Gray dominance of the city... The idea, he said, is to do to San Francisco what Musk did to Twitter. [/snip]

At least he’s aware the blues have destroyed everything.

Definitely some good ideas. But it’s not just the police issue. It’s Groomer City’s emphasis on homosexuals and transoids. You cannot build a thriving city on these people. You need families and marriages and kids. Are they willing to rebuke the rainbow lifestyle there? Doubt it.

They guy sounds more like a comedian.

It’s all a joke, but the New Republic doesn’t get it, because they’re a joke too.

Well, I definitely agree with his sentiments!

“Everyone would be welcome at the Gray Pride march—everyone, that is, except the Blues. Srinivasan defines the Blue political tribe as the liberal voters he implies are responsible for the city’s problems. Blues will be banned from the Gray-controlled zones, said Balaji, unlike Republicans (“Reds”). “

Agreed, Balaji is very smart but autonomous zones, special economic zones, free trade zones and charter city projects exist throughout the world and have for decades. Having worked on a few of these projects, I will say its often very difficult to get a buy in from both the federal and local governments around the world. Some of the most succesful of these zones are in China, and they are not run on the socialist model.

He's in for an uphill battle in the land of Nanzi (Pelosi). The "Blues and Reds" schtick will trigger a lot of folks in Silicon Valley.

From the headline, I was prepared for at least some mention of race and ethnicity, but the excerpt sounded entirely political. Guess it makes sense, because he's gonna need all the friends he can find, no matter the color.

lsughsble , yes!

it al! sounds like a teenager’s dystopian view of a fantasy land. Its totally crazy. This would be a better board game.

this guy needs to get a life instead of publicizing his personal fantasies of power & domination.

Imo for all his smarts he
sounds IGNORANT..... get a grip on reality and find a hobby 🤓

"...Oh yeah...I'm sure they'll treat Reds as equals..."

There is no doubt they will.

Until they get their hands securely on the levers of power with the help of the "Reds".

The fact that he recognizes the New York Times as the chief enemy, is a plus.
