> BRING MANUFACTURING BACK TO AMERICA

That explains the admin on this forum throwing a "you're a nationalist!" at me recently, turns out I was ahead of the game on that (only that I was doing it for the wrong geo-political bloc)

> NEW DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY

Ooo, that certainly explains lots and lots of stuff, including the "warnings" whenever the comments don't support the correct geo-political bloc mentioned above.

All in all very interesting, turns out that YC and the money behind it has smelt where things are going and are following the likes of Eric Schmidt. Let's see what the time will tell.

Are you referring to this? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39315543 If so, it seems wildly unrelated to "BRING MANUFACTURING BACK TO AMERICA".

Yes, and yes, economic autarky (which is what this “let’s bring industry back to America” thing actually is) is usually associated with nationalism and other such stuff (I personally call it Mussolinian, but someone may come and mention List, who was a 19th century German, so to each his own)
