I admire Garry but not sure why there can’t be a line that we all agree not to cross. No weapon has ever been made that was not used to harm humanity.

I don't know and DNGAF about Garry, but that argument is specious and reflects the conflict his business fundamentally creates for him. The smart move would be to be silent, not sure what you "admire".

A CEO of YC - the site you're currently on...

It boggles my mind how some people can seem to only think in terms of "teams". And can't think critically about their supposed team.

"I'm on their site so I'm on their team... Of course I back everything they do, I'm on their team."

Similarly (and slightly related) when a big part of your motivation is to see the "other" side upset you've lost the plot.
