I recall Shaun Maguire trying to interfere with European politics, specifically supporting AfD in Germany. Instantly lost my admiration towards Sequoia, the image I previously had about them was something like calm, deeply analytical grown ups. Turns out they are into petty daily politics that will not go anywhere other than stir drama, at least this Shaun guy. Still feels bad when I think about it, disillusionment is painful.

It makes sense to support AfD in Germany if you care about building businesses.

The world could stand a few less of that type of business and more of a few who don't sow hatred.

The AfD can only point at problems but has no solutions.
The economic policies of Weidel and Höcke contradict each other.
They are only high in the polls because they don’t actually have to do anything.

Since when social unrest is good for business? Africa, the Balkans and the middle east must be printing money then with their decades long identity politics and divisions.

Good for business for companies like the German Fox News: Nius, led by the former chief editor of Germany‘s worst „newspaper“ Bild: Julian Reichelt financed by the founder of CompuGroup Medical: Frank Gotthardt
