Political activism has no place on the job. Too many companies have created an echo chamber. Hiring and salary should be based on merit and talent, not because you fit an agenda.

despite disruption being fundamentally what they do, startup folk seem to have internalized the myth, taught well through public schools, that creating Exits is a thing for markets only, and that in governance, there is only Voice

obvs i'm making the assumption that you mean something sane by "political activism", something more approaching agorism, as opposed to armchair "activism", which is the national sport of startups and bigcorps alike
