I agree poking fun at someone's appearance is low (and this is particularly savage), but it is hard to have sympathy for Andreessen, and I'm not going to strain myself trying.

It mocks -- in peak Millennial Humor fashion -- a major contributor to the tech industry and tech culture. If you don't like his opinions, the honorable response would be to debate those opinions, not attempt (poorly) to make a joke of the man over an inherited, immutable aspect of his physiognomy.
There, I used Andreeson's ideas so you can understand it.
It’s good to chuckle every once in awhile and I hope even Marc Andreessen gets a laugh when he sees this.
Over the last several decades, a tiny fraction of the wealthiest families in America—the top 0.1%—have effectively transformed the United States into a civil oligarchy, using their unfathomable fortunes to manipulate government policy and the legal system to serve their own financial interests.
Public mockery and collective joy are incredibly effective at forging unity among the powerless. In the face of overwhelming corporate and state power, achieving the immediate joy of solidarity is often a movement's sole source of strength.
This man and those like him will never have to work again in their fucking lives. They will want for nothing. The world is effectively their theme park. Surely they can bear the psychological weight of mild mockery.
If you've read Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, think back to the character of the knight:
> And though that he were worthy, he was wys, And of his port as meeke as is a mayde. He nevere yet no vileynye ne sayde In al his lyf unto no maner wight.
He nevere yet no vileynye ne sayde -- he has never said a villainous word -- in al his lyf unto no maner wight -- in all his life to any kind of person.
One should aspire to be more like a knight and less like a jester.
People like you seem to think people earn some sort of 'indulgence' because of past achievements. They don't.
People like Andresseen, Musk, Thiel have all earned their infamy. It's up to them to change our minds, not us to moderate our opinions.
And much like his ideas should be mocked and ridiculed, the man behind those should be mocked and ridiculed as well.
It's about time we stopped treating rich retards as visionaries just because they are rich.
The other poster is right about tit-for-tat. I'm afraid you're giving advice of the "let them eat cake" variety.
In other words, you don't seem to recognize that America not a society of equals.
Maybe I should read Canterbury Tales, though. Is the knight high-born?
They will still sleep comfortably on their satin sheets and often badly need a reminder to be wise and meek themselves. Most of them started out like regular humans and can probably be prodded to recall what was like before they were raptured into places where their billions are normal.
