Instead of simply flagging, I wish people would suggest an appropriate place to discuss these topics -- zombie twitter, reddit, facebook etc. or their clones are not at all usable for me, and I would guess not very pleasant for the majority of people interested in genuine discussion.

Besides that, why are tech leaders "cancelling" anyone who speaks out against mass killing of humans? I genuinely do not understand what is happening.

What I found surprising was how militant and extreme so many in the venture capital community were about Israel. The vast majority of people I know are very pro-Palestinan and see Israel as an oppressive cold war relic that needs to go the way of South Africa. On October 7th we woke up to an industry where the financiers were very much at odds with the market, staff, world population... and it seems like they've done nothing but double down since then. It's really upsetting, especially since we've seen 20k civilians killed and vcs are still cheering on Israel.

Do these topics even get discussed? Even here, a place that is calmer than most, people are already calling people that disagree with them horrible names.
