Wow, it is actually shocking how disgusting the CEO's comments are.

Yeah, he's the worst. I knew him in YC, and actually liked him. But I watched him spiral as he wasn't able to raise money for his startup, including starting to go to Trump rallies "out of curiosity". His FB posts began to include worse and worse rhetoric. It was crazy to watch him get radicalized in realtime. It ended in him harassing some (minority) YC founders who said they were scared by saying we should "Build t…

It is like modern day version of Hitler did not getting in art school.

He got expelled from YC for saying we should build a border wall? Really?

I edited my comment. The full quotes are much worse. Here's the details: https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/12/pro-trump-ceo-gets-booted-...

I'm a minority, and I feel really fucking stupid that I have to say that so I don't get banned, but how on earth can anyone get expelled for saying they support the policy of the US government? That is insular to the point of caricature for out of touch democrat staffing aids, not people trying to make money.

That isn't anger, it's genuine incredulity.

Sorry, that's my fault, I'm going to edit my comment. I downplayed what he said. Here's the full comments: https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/12/pro-trump-ceo-gets-booted-...

Ok, I can see why you'd get expelled over that.

Thanks, and wow... he sounds like a perpetual drain on the energy and sanity of all of the people around him.

As someone that is also a minority, I'm both aware and heartbroken that it became a very popular form of bullying towards children after 2015 [0].

Racist bullying isn't new of course, but this particular phrase is fairly new.

Private groups don't have to swear fealty to the government. Individuals are allowed and encouraged to dissent, form groups of dissention, and don't owe it to anyone to grant them access to that group.

Regardless of one's personal politics, insisting "if the government says it's ok, you shouldn't be allowed to reject someone who supports it" isn't really in line with the core ideals of the US, where YC is organized.

Not everyone agrees with the policies of the US government, including private businessess
