18. After reading the article, my alarm is off-the-charts.

These tech bros are banding together without women’s voices (one was named as important to the group), without critics they deem “communists” or too liberal and admit that they banded together because there were journalists who criticized them. Sensitive egos much?

This sounds like a dangerous group operating completely outside the knowledge of most Americans. And they are happy that their discussions can be dished up to the masses on Twitter and other social media platforms in order to influence us. According to the article, they are behind the elevation of the thinking of Curtis Yarvin! They are completely without input by those who are not overly wealthy and who live on a plane more familiar to us.

In a democracy, we should be privy to discussions that are going to influence our lives. Every fiber of my being is screaming, “These are dangerous assholes!”
