The NYTFT has gone all in on “a new era of conservatism” with this article.

First, they directly compare tech bro billionaires flocking to bend the knee to Trump to the “surge in support for social justice causes” after the killing of George Floyd by police. Nothing problematic about that comparison, right?

Later, they quote a “top banker” as saying, “We can say ‘r*tard’ and ‘p*ssy’ without fear of getting cancelled … it’s a new dawn.”

I know the NYTFT has always been conservative, but this together with the way the Washington Post has been cosying up to Trump, says a lot about where the US is headed.

Edit: wrong acronym

    Its fucking bad. They’re trying to paint the picture Trump wants to see of himself. Democracy is dying in the corner. I just hope Trump meets the same end his hero’s have.

      Dying? It’s dead. Get ready for the concentration camps—or whatever they call it. “Reeducation”

        • Arguably to black people and queer

            Good point. Showing how white I am that I briefly lapsed on that bouncing between this and making dinner.

              It’s okay, it’s hard to keep a perfect record of the atrocities of mankind. I was hoping to get through life without having to personally experience one!
