and applying that stretched metaphor back to its original context, we shouldn't support civil liberties if they're a lost cause. but what have we actually achieved with all this metaphor stretching?
The point was that yesterday and/or today isn't always the best choice. In the case of sama/YC, it feels like one knee jerk reaction after another without any connective thought:
"Hey the ACLU is suing Trump ... let's add them as a non-profit in the next batch!"
"Yah that'll show em'!"
I don't agree with most of sama's election related comments and am unabashedly pro-Trump, but I mean this objectively: If you're going to pick a battle at least put some thought into it first.
Otherwise this all just looks a silly excuse to demonstrate YC (and particularly sama's) political biases.
