People on Twitter think its former CEO has called for the execution of his political opponents, after Dick Costolo warned that "me-first capitalists" will face firing squads during "the revolution."
Costolo, a veteran tech entrepreneur who ran Twitter between 2010 and 2015, poured some gasoline on the fire of an argument currently underway in Silicon Valley. People in IT are debating whether corporations should be engaged in social justice activism and allow political discourses in their workspaces.

"Me-first capitalists who think you can separate society from business are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the revolution," Costolo warned as he advocated against separating moneymaking and politics.

    Yes, he is similar, but not a good enough liar, and perhaps less understanding of the danger (from other leftists) such a statement can cause.

    My wife and I were just talking about people we have known very well, liberal people, and how they are acting when we see them and stuff they are saying on social media. When Trump gets re-elected (I think he will) I predict a lot of violence in our country. It's going to be bad. I hope I'm wrong.

    To anybody who's studied what socialist and communists have done throughout history you've got to take this statement seriously.

    These people always have wanted full buy-in from the masses. Those who don't express full support for the program will be lined up.

    Strange days... I keep thinking, "You know...America had a great run. It was a terrific experiment that lasted over 200 years. But, it's citizens have failed to keep appreciating what they had. The militant collectivists have taken hold - thanks to the soft spot created under the guise of free speech. So...this is how it happens..."

    Twitter's CEO reminds me of a villain from an Ayn Rand novel.
