    His twitter reposted a right wing Billionaire, the one that paid to have Hulk Hogan go on stage and ask people to vote for Donald Trump. He’s also made a lot of statements about the Unabomber and been anti-immigration in the past.

    Maybe instead of assigning him to a group we should all agree he wasn’t of calm or consistent mind.

      Did you watch the video? It’s like a 20 second clip of the guy saying lots of tech people are neurodiverse and thus don’t allow their dreams to be crushed. It’s simplistic bullshit, but resharing it seems pretty centrist as it’s not rwnj content.

      And fuck no? I consider this man one of the most sane, and he calmly planned and worked hard to achieve a noble goal.

        In particular, he really emphasized remorse about any collateral damage and took significant steps to minimize it. His statement about the unibomber was essentially “Good motive but horrible execution that hurt a lot of innocents”

        In his attack there was a nearby bystander who saw literally everything and he neither harmed her nor appeared to threaten her in any direct manner. He moved to pass her so she could flee.

        I still think murder=bad but he took real steps to make sure the only damage from his actions was on the CEO and himself.

        I realize I’m nitpicking, but if Charles Koch made a nice informative tweet about some random benign shit like first-aid I wouldn’t suddenly be spreading to the world the message of Charles Koch. I wouldn’t actively promote the enemy of us all.

        And also they shouldn’t be making generalizing stereotypes like that in the first place.
