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

    “I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘r*tard’ and ‘p*ssy’ without fear of getting cancelled … it’s a new dawn.”

    Imagine how pathetic you’d have to be to say this statement unironically. But I guess that’s why this loser didn’t let them use their name.

      Wonder how he feels about “hang the bankers, praise to Luigi!”

        Here’s a thought: if you’re being canceled, there’s likely a reason for it. Perhaps consider what circumstances brought you there.

        Yeah but he doesn’t, because he knows you won’t do anything. You’ll scream “Luigi!” and do jack shit. Unfortunately, there won’t be any more Luigis, and he only got one baddy.

          LOL. You may not be able to make me get off my couch, but you have the personal capability to make it not just be one Luigi. Be the change you want to see in the world before you whine about how no one else is willing to do anything.
