Shopify’s founder, unprompted, sharing a protestor being assaulted by police. 

These fascists are so emboldened it’s crazy.

That’s very generous. I have to imagine there are a million videos of people doing jiujitsu to other athletes rather than accosting a peaceful protestor.

When powerful people (wealthy right wing elites like Toby, politicians, former and present military personnel) praise jiujitsu only when it’s being done as an infringement on human rights, I don’t offer them the generosity of assuming good faith.

You definitely don’t have to. I think there are a lot of great founders. Ingenuity, leadership, creativity are all great qualities to push the world forward in positive ways and many founders have these in strides.

That said, absolute power corrupts absolutely, and the larger one’s wealth grows the more power and influence they gain. It clearly goes to their head as just about every very rich tech founder now thinks they’re brilliant in every field, when they are in fact, very narrow in the scope of their intellect. 

I hope the cult of the founder and the idolatry of the individual is on the way out.

you don't have to be a fascist to be a founder but apparently it helps
