“Little Tech” says the fucking billionaire VC.

Absolute bullshit. These people have no shame. They’ll piss on you and tell you it’s raining.

You know what’s not bullshit?

Small Tech.

It’s the exact fucking opposite of what Marc fucking Andreessen and his fucking cabal of fascist-adjacent VCs – the robber barons of Big Tech – stand for.

Small Technology FoundationAboutWe’re a tiny and independent two-person not-for-profit based in Ireland. We’re working on building the Small Web.

@aral you know I love you, but this post is wrong. When you say “fascist-adjacent”, it sounds like misguided nationalists or folks in embarrassing uniforms.
The people you’re talking about are tipping millions of dollars into PAC funding explicitly to elect an unrepentant populist leader. You can’t call them “fascist-adjacent”. Take out the “adjacent” 😉

@aral so venture capitalists are bad again? How come?

@alihan_banan I must’ve missed the bit where they ever stopped.

@aral the giveaway was that one of the Bad Things that Bad Politicians do, in their manifesto, is block BigTech from buying LittleTech.

@billseitz Almost as if that’s the point where asshats like Marc make their money or something. 🤔
