Either they all agree with Thiel, which is a problem, or they feel duty-bound to keep quiet, which is a problem.

end of the day it is about money. Speaking against him is not going to do them any favors
-
that implies that their social and business circles have enough trump support that speaking out would be a problem.
-
taking a stand against something most SV ppl believe is abhorrent is otherwise unlikely to be a large business problem.

how are others discouraged? At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I still respect folks I disagree with
-
there has been a conspicuous silence re: thiel
-
I'm not talking about respect. Calling out a friend for doing something you believe is deeply wrong is not disrespectful.
-
are you wanting to see him (or folks associated with him) punished or publicly shamed for their political views?
-
Better question: Why would you want to prevent people holding shameful views from being held accountable for them?
@wycats -
being held accountable is OK. Usually shaming turns into "{{name}} is a piece of garbage and so is anyone that supports them!"
-
so you're saying people shouldn't object to problematic things because maybe it'll escalate?
-
not at all. People should be able to stand up for themselves. Are you saying that people should not be civilized with each other?

thiel and Trump are both sociopaths with no empathy so it figures they would run things in a similar manner

SV scares me more than finance, because similar power is concentrated in the hands of people with broader ambitions.

Billionaires will always argue for the power to act with moral constraints.

And with a stunted capacity for introspection. They have an ideology that says what's good for them is good for the world.
