There are dozens of actual far-right extremists in the House GOP caucus, people who have said and done racist, corrupt, crazy things. And you’ve never heard of them. Because the Times and other establishment media outlets have never negatively profiled them like this. The GOP gets a pass.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

In the 80s we had "Greed Is Good," but today it's much subtler--self-interest is simply the only valid decision-making lens. "Let's not go to Chik-Fil-A, I don't like their food" is respected, but "Let's not go to Chik-Fil-A, I don't want to support a homophobic company" makes you a tedious scold.
There's a subtext in some modern discourse that selfishness is smart and strong but it's weak and not smart. It's actually not good for the rich to destroy the planet even if they think it puts them ahead in the short term.

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran
