Somewhere a hundred years from now, a group of psychology students will be studying the barbaric ways of the early 21st century, including abortion, Covid lockdowns, genital surgery for children, and whatever in the heck this is from former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich:
July 2021:
April 2022:
Technically, both can be true at the same time. But the spirit behind each tweet is profoundly different, and argues on the opposite ends of the issue.
This man was in the Cabinet of President Bill Clinton, served as former assistant to U.S. Solicitor General Robert Bork and Director of the Policy Planning Staff at the Federal Trade Commission under Jimmy Carter, previously taught at Harvard, and works as a professor still at Berkeley. He has a master's degree from Oxford and a doctorate in law from Yale.
Somehow, that makes him the perfect archetype of the elite who's lost his mind over what we lovingly call "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and descended into incoherent madness (see his recent article at The Guardian for more proof).
See, back in 2021, it was cool to tell conservatives to take a hike.
"You don't like being banned? Build your own site/web hosting service/search engine/world wide web/banking system! Private companies don't need to respect your 1st Amendment rights!"
Now that a centrist billionaire has bought Twitter, however (can you imagine the reaction if an actual conservative bought it??), it's the end of days, even though he isn't threatening to ban anyone!!
"Where else would consumers go"??
Here's an idea for Mr. Reich:
Try asking the tens of millions of people who were "unpersoned" by Big Tech (over the last 2 years alone) and forced onto Parler, Gab, Rumble, Gettr, Telegram, Locals, Rocket.Chat, Truth Social, Discord, and of course, Not The Bee.
