What worries me about all these VCs adopting the polarized hard-right culture war beliefs about society is, where can the bright young liberal entrepreneurs go? I think it was Thiel that started the idea of creating rightwing-exclusive entrepreneur communities but now it seems the entire VC world is banding together in joining the anti-woke crusades, including YC now helmed by culture warrior Gary Tan. Even though the next generation is more left-leaning then ever, the old 90s guys have captured the sources of investment capital and are gatekeeping with an increasingly blatant fervor to crush all signs of left-wing resistance.
