Yes, well someone retweeted the money quote where Andreesen said, of small town America, "there's oxycontin and video games to keep these people quiet." And then Andreesen rolled up to make a furious denial, in the "Always complain, never explain" tradition of MAGA
“Then arrived in the room a “cranium so large, bald, and oblong that you can’t help but think of words like ‘jumbo’ and ‘Grade A’”
(The New Yorker’s words, not mine)”
He hates that you reported what he said, and now he’ll have to explain himself (for saying the quiet part) to Elon, Mark, and Jeff at the next meeting of the He-Man Billionaires Club.

Lol. He's probably going to Streisand effect himself. These people are so thin skinned they have no clue that sometimes it's better to ignore than engage. Now lots of people know that the best way to bait him is to quote this relentlessly.
Oh sure, under influence of the Mises Institute apparently they've gone full fascist. But I know of a fair number of good faith libertarians who are reasonable.
Wait, you are an actual commie? An honest to god Stalin? (I assume when these guys talk about Communism they are talking about the boogyman from the 30s)
Marc Andreesen is the biggest piece of shit I've seen in a long time. His stream of absolute bullshit he put out on Rogan was fucking incredible. I fucking hate that man with a burning passion.
“Pearlstein,” eh? A more charitable person might allow for Vance using voice-to-text, but nah…he just thinks all Semitic-sounding names are interchangeable.
Just have to note at this juncture that Tim Berners Lee, who invented the World Wide Web and html and declined to patent it, has only 1/35 the immense wealth of Marc Andreessen, who merely built an early (and now obsolete) web browser for it.

he called you a communist because he didn't like your question about capitalism.
That strikes me as an infantile understanding of both communism and capitalism.
But anyone who says that we shouldn’t give them money is a criminal, because reducing their profits is evil and wrong.
I hope this explanation has made things clearer for you.

No? Oh good! I get the honors!
Andreessen is a horror.
I got $20 that says that he has no idea what communism is.

That JV Dance said that tells you all you need to know about JV Dance.

2) Anarchists will be startled they can't be critics of capitalism.
