I feel bad for those who get fucked by it this dumb game we woke Westerners play where we say all the right shibboleths and so everyone likes us. (Sam Democrat Bankman -Ukraine Fried)

Andrew Orlowski at Spiked Magazine elaborates in How Big Tech took over the Democrats:

He was the second-largest Democratic donor in the 2022 election cycle. He shrewdly talked up the two big secular, liberal religions of climate change and artificial intelligence. He also proclaimed himself to be a vegan.

While the blue checks are sputtering in impotent rage at Musk’s Twitter takeover, Bankman-Fried remains a progressive hero because…

SBF is well-connected […] His father helped Elizabeth Warren draft legislation to revise the US tax code in 2016. His mother co-founded the secretive Democratic group Mind the Gap in 2018, which has funneled millions in donations to the Democrats. Mind The Gap ‘operates in a cone of secrecy’ but ‘speaks the language of Silicon Valley’, according to a Vox profile of the organisation. SBF’s brother, Gabe Bankman-Fried, used to work for Civis Analytics, the political data firm backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, which is behind much of the Democratic Party’s data operation.
