Sequoia COO Quits Over 'Islamism' Comments, Not Climate Change Denial
Funny how a 'woke' climate of corporate ethics is robust enough to eject a COO over comments about 'Islamism' but strangely silent on, say, Sequoia's investments in surveillance tech used against minorities, or the pervasive influence of groups like AIPAC. While Silicon Valley grapples with phantom 'cancel culture' over vague opinions, AIPAC (which Maguire publicly supports) dropped over $40
million into the 2024 election cycle, according to OpenSecrets, steering policy with tangible, bloody consequences. Where's the ethical outcry for that ? So, a founder quits over remarks about Islamism, and the FT frames it as a significant moral stand. Yet, countless politicians taking AIPAC cash vote lock-step for endless wars and aid packages that fuel regional instability, and that's just
business? One might wonder if this 'moral outrage' is merely a selective PR exercise, deflecting from the actual, documented foreign influence that shapes US policy and global conflict.
