Where are all the smug centrist white dudes so quick to lecture us about "free speech" when it means they can punch down at college students? Where are the Atlantic thinkpieces from those brave avatars of courageous speech? Where are the NYT op-eds about cancel culture run amok?

The point of capitalism is to enrich capitalists. That's no way to sustain a functioning society, and you see that *waves arms wildly* eeeeeverywhereq
And here come the capitalism stans. Like Steinbeck wrote, most Americans don't question the inequalities of capitalism, because they simply see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires
