So, in 11 years, how did SV turn into ... whatever it is now? And why did it?

I'm not sure. Maybe Twitter. Maybe the center of gravity shifting to SF. Maybe its success making it a target. Maybe all those.

Maybe it's when Facebook started pretending they were saving the world instead of just saying they're a media company that connects friends?

-
It's political when a statement of facts is derided as an inflammatory screed. If it's culture-damaging, so much the worse for that culture.
