    seeing more nuance than “A16Z investment is a necessary, end of story! No discussion allowed!” does not make one a purity obsessed leftists

    Aw, jeez, you’re right. I hate discussion and I hate nuance. You got me. That’s exactly a really good summary of what I was saying.

    The piece about Substack making nazi blogs to stir up drama was not meant to be taken seriously

    Ah, yes, Schroedinger’s leftist. “I was just joking! Unless…? Also, BTW, Substack’s got a Nazi problem.”

      But you do take any scepticism of A16Z as an immediate sign that one is a “purity obsessed leftist”. This is not reasonable.

      OK, so you are saying that I started lying in this thread, I actually believe substack is full of Nazis, but I decided to temporarily back down from this view in order to try and “win” this discussion.

      You can agree that substack is not full of Nazis and it’s a viable platform, while also recognising that they are an American tech company that received money from a VC firm that is commited to authoritarianism, corruption and criminal schemes.

      What’s your logic here? I am genuinely curious.

      You are ranting against “left orthodoxy on purity”, yet you yourself are demanding acceptance of A16Z specifically.
