If SV techies want to succeed in Europe, then they should be okay with valuing what Europeans value.

Europeans are not stupid, they prioritized different things, including market socialism in different countries. The Americans also need to remove their exceptionalism glasses and take a long hard look at their own selves—the average American citizen (digital or otherwise) is socially worse off than the average European citizen. The success of American companies is based on the financing environment in the U.S. and has less to do with “friction”. The “friction” exists because on average Europeans have different values. So really, wake up SV tech bros. That whole site is a big ball of yuck.
