Journalist Garrett Graff on the radicalization of Silicon Valley tech bros and venture capitalists

So much of the radicalization of the billionaire SV class simply seems to stem from the world deciding not, after their two decades of ruining the world, to worship them appropriatelyâ€”and now they see themselves as the ultimate victims.

The " working class" has eaten this shit up. Finally they have avatars for their racism. They get to whine how their life sucks because other people have rights. SMDH. Not because asshole billionaires suck so much out of the system for themselves and leave crumbs for everyone else.
