Current Events > Plutocrat seeks to "ethnically cleanse" San Francisco.

(+) Yeah! (+)

What Im really calling for is something like tech Zionism, he said, after comparing his movement to those started by the biblical Abraham, Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith (founder of Mormonism), Theodor Herzl (spiritual father of the state of Israel), and Lee Kuan Yew (former authoritarian ruler of Singapore). Balaji then revealed his shocking ideas for a tech-governed city where citizens loyal to tech companies would form a new political tribe clad in gray t-shirts. And if you see another Gray on the street you do the nod, he said, during a four-hour talk on the Moment of Zen podcast. Youre a fellow Gray.

The Grays shirts would feature Bitcoin or Elon or other kinds of logos Y Combinator is a good one for the city of San Francisco in particular. Grays would also receive special ID cards providing access to exclusive, Gray-controlled sectors of the city. In addition, the Grays would make an alliance with the police department, funding weekly policemans banquets to win them over.
Grays should embrace the police, okay? All-in on the police, said Srinivasan. What does that mean? Thats, as I said, banquets. That means every policemans son, daughter, wife, cousin, you know, sibling, whatever, should get a job at a tech company in security.

In exchange for extra food and jobs, cops would pledge loyalty to the Grays. Srinivasan recommends asking officers a series of questions to ascertain their political leanings. For example: Did you want to take the sign off of Elons building?

The psychopaths in the plutocracy are getting more open about what they want.

What they will get, if they persist with this shit, is France 1789 v2.0.

What will the people use in place of guillotines?

The SIlicon Valley faux-libertarian plutocrats have always been this crazy, though.

That is some of the most masturbatory tech bro spiel I've heard in a while.

The statement is obviously insane but why is ethnically cleanse in quotes when he didn't say that or mention ethnicity at all?

Balaji goes onand on. 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. Ethnically cleanse, he said at one point, summing up his idea for a city purged of Blues (this, he says, will prevent Blues from ethnically cleansing the Grays first). The idea, he said, is to do to San Francisco what Musk did to Twitter.

Elon, in sort of classic Gray fashion ... captures Twitter and then, at one stroke, wipes out millions of Blues status by wiping out the Blue Checks, he said. Another stroke [he] renames Twitter as X, showing that he has true control, and its his vehicle, and that the old regime isnt going to be restored.

Yeah not seeing the part about Ethnically cleansing.

Did you try Ctrl + F? I've heard that using the find function to see the words halfway down the page is the new vogue.

What Ethnicity are the Grays?

Why are you claiming he didn't say it?

pissfest over word choice.

But it's the only way they can defend it. Because he's offering them exactly what they want.

Who's fucking defending it in here?

Getting really pedantic about wording that everyone understands isn't supposed to be literal and is instead a quote is limp defending it.
