> Tobias Lutke /../ has most recently advocated for a pay-to-play version of democracy where wealth determines your ability to participate

He’s just looking at america post Citizens United and wishing he could ull the same shenans in Canada. It’s been working very well for the folks and orgs who can afford it

I also recoiled a bit when I say that Lutke was on the investors list.

Does Mitchell even need to take outside funding?

> Tobias Lutke in particular has chronically been on the wrong side of fundamental issues

Just because someone has different ideas about what policies would produce better outcomes for society doesn't mean they are a malicious person.

Clearly there is a lot wrong with society and many suspect it's due to structural problems in how society is organized. Even if he's wrong, it's not surprising at all that a successful well-intentioned person who pays a lot in taxes who is otherwise not experienced in policy would have the opinion that the votes of people who pay more in taxes should have a greater weight.

There is no civilization if it's the norm to assume that someone is acting in bad faith if he has opinions different than yours. E.g. Wikipedia would have fallen apart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith

It's really unfortunate that the same traits that make you great at building a business (within capitalism) also often make you have psychopathic tendencies.

People are only allowed to take funding from investors whose politics align with yours?
