David Sacks on the need to end hyperpartisanship in the wake of Big Tech's attack on free speech

i want to tie in this issue with you said what you said about the off ramp okay which is you know what is the off ramp from this look everybody understands i think regardless of what side political spectrum you're on that we are caught in a cycle of insane hyper partisan warfare and tit-for-tat retaliation and that is the thing that we need to uh that that is the ledge we need to walk back from okay but the problem that everybody has is that they can only see the other side doing it you know they can't see themselves doing it this is a two-way street both sides are doing it

and that's how de-escalation works is both sides have to concede something yes and unless you can see when your side is doing it we're never gonna break the cycle now the thing that is happening right now now what trump did was absolutely outrageous and i think it brought him to an ignominious end in american politics he will pay for it in the history books if not in a court of law okay but now what has happened is the next step in the tit-for-tat retaliation the the stormy of the capital has now been used to implement a sweeping attack on free speech you know the the twitter employees who sent that letter to jack who've been demanding this for years have

finally gotten their way and there is a widespread purge going on and not just of trump not just a permanent ban on trump and then a whole bunch of other people you know conservatives there are now liberal accounts there's an account that i wasn't even aware of called red scare they're basically you know pretty pretty much on the left no one can say exactly what it was that got them banned i guess they had steve bannon on their podcast they are suddenly banned from twitter nobody knows why
