There is a certain type of person whose brain is completely broken by the internet. Hope OP finds help.

You must know nothing about Garry Tan. Actually OPs, rant is quite reasonable.

Garry Tan aligns himself with Genociders and genocide supporters.

> Garry Tan, the local venture capitalist who has for years railed against progressive politicians on social media

You mean Garry, who has protested the dumbing down of schools?

Garry, who protests removing math from the curriculum?

He's "railed against progressive politicians" by supporting education and high achievement?

You know China and Asia are laughing at us, right? They do schooling right. We are so backwards.

I was bullied, beaten, sexually assaulted, name called, told to commit suicide, told I was a parentless bastard (I was adopted) in elementary and middle school by my peers. Yet the system did nothing to help me.

I was the only one in my class that tested into early algebra, I led the theater team, I won my elementary school's geography bee, and very nearly won the spelling bee (except for a teacher that unfairly disqualified me) - yet I was the problem for being smart and over-performing. The system catered to my abusers.

Do you know the amount of energy that was required to save me from the stupid public education system? It almost killed me, and it absolutely smothered my growth.

I weep for what my younger ten year old self went through. Because I know there are thousands of kids going through the same experience. It's probably worse now.

Any "progressive" that is pro-bully, anti-education is a problem.

Garry's stance:

Garry is a stand-up guy. This is a hit piece.

Edit: -2 within minutes of posting this. I don't even understand nerds anymore. You shouldn't embrace anti-education.

I can appreciate you defending his character. The parent comment was not constructive.

I’m no fan of Garry’s, but this doesn’t seem like a hit piece to me.

So much whining in this thread because this person has a different political stance than you. Get a grip.

Nobody seems to bat an eye to all of the insane tech money that goes towards supporting “progressivism”. California has a ton of problems, it has been a progressive stronghold for decades. It’s not working, people. Don’t pikachu face when someone takes initiative to do something different as a result.
