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]
The fellow has some very good ideas very original ideas.
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.
So now, the pendulum begins to swing back.
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.
Oh Good.
A Hindu neo-fascist Jim Jones.
You can’t make this crap up.
Tech nerd gangster state led by angry non-Whites?
Paradise.
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.
Oh yeah......I'm sure they'll treat Reds as equals.
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 🤓
🤓👍. smdh
dont blow this off
He got the editorial Not YOU
He has the power Not YOU
He is on the killing side
and is making his bandwagon go
NOT YOU
moi? in the general sense probably but to make his fantasy come true it will take a awful lot of people plus lots of money, it wouldnt be his free ride.
intelligent people dont go for this crap.
Victor D Hanson would laugh him out the room
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.
The gateway to Hell is located at earth coordinates: 40°45′22″N 73°59′24″W
I’ll listen to him even though I can’t pronounce his name.🥸
