Chuck Darwin<p>Along with the tech-centric WhatsApp groups Krishnan had organized out of a16z, <br>Andreessen joined a slew of others, <br>including ones that Torenberg set up for tech founders and for more political discussions. </p><p>The tech chats tended to be on WhatsApp and the political ones on Signal, which is more fully encrypted, <br>and they had different settings. </p><p>(“Every group chat ends up being about memes and humor and the goal of the group chat is to get as close to the line of being actually objectionable without tripping it,” Andreessen told Fridman. </p><p>“People will set to 5 minutes before they send something particularly inflammatory.“)</p><p>After a group of liberal intellectuals published a letter in Harper’s on July 7, 2020, some of its signers were invited to join a Signal group called “Everything Is Fine.” </p><p>There, writers including <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kmele" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kmele</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Foster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Foster</span></a>, who co-hosts the podcast

href="https://c.im/tags/Mounk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mounk</span></a>, and the Harper’s letter contributor Williams joined Andreessen and a group that also included the anti-woke conservative activist <a href="https://c.im/tags/Chris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chris</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rufo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rufo</span></a>.</p><p>The new participants were charmed by Andreessen’s engagement: <br>“He was the most available, the most present, the most texting of anybody in the group <br>— which shocked me because it seemed like he was the most important person in the group,” one said.</p><p>But the center didn’t hold. </p><p>The liberal Harper’s types were surprised to find what one described an <br>“illiberal worldview” among tech figures more concerned with power than speech. </p><p>The conservatives found the liberal intellectuals tiresome, committed to what Rufo described to me as “infinite discourse” over action.</p><p>The breaking point came on July 5, 2021, when Foster and Williams, <br>along with the never-Trump conservative <a href="https://c.im/tags/David" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>David</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/French" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>French</span></a> and the liberal academic <a href="https://c.im/tags/Jason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jason</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Stanley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stanley</span></a>, <br>wrote a New York Times op-ed criticizing new laws against teaching “critical race theory.”</p><p>“Even if this censorship is legal in the narrow context of public primary and secondary education, <br>it is antithetical to educating students in the culture of American free expression,” <br>they wrote.</p><p>The conservatives had thought the Harper’s letter writers were their allies in an all-out ideological battle, <br>and considered their position a betrayal. </p><p>Andreessen “went really ballistic in a quite personal way at Thomas,” <br>a participant recalled. </p><p>The group ended after Andreessen “wrote something along the lines of <br>‘thank you everybody, I think it’s time to take a Signal break,’” another said.</p><p>The meltdown of this liberal-tech alliance was, to <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rufo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rufo</span></a>, a healthy development.</p><p>“A lot of these technologists hoped that the centrist path was a viable one, because it would permit them in theory to change the culture without having to expose themselves to the risk of becoming partisans,” <br>he said. </p><p>“By 2021, the smartest people in tech understood that these people were a dead end <br>— so the group chats exploded and reformulated on more explicitly political lines.”</p><p>Rufo had been there all along: <br>“I looked at these chats as a good investment of my time to radicalize tech elites who I thought were the most likely and high-impact new coalition partners for the right.”</p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MarcAndreessen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"
