From what I observe, most of Web3 leans anti-war in principle, but that ethos stays submerged because the space is heavily reliant on centralized capital—much of it Silicon Valley-based—which tends to be pro-interventionist, NRX-adjacent, and larping as guardians of “Western Civilization.” That alignment trickles down.
Farcaster, for example, has major early backing from a16z, and one of its cofounders came out of Coinbase—the same Coinbase that just sponsored Trump’s military parade. That’s not a neutral backdrop; it’s a clear ideological signal. In that environment, openly anti-war stances carry reputational and financial risks. Most developers and founders stay quiet. The exceptions are usually theory-heavy adjacent communities—crypto-anarchists, regen weirdos, or degen enclaves—that raised neutral or ideologically unentangled capital and can afford to speak more freely. 2 replies
