    As Ryan Broderick put it in his Garbage Day newsletter on Monday, “It’s possible that this is the most aligned America—well, aside from the folks in its highest tax brackets—has been about a news story since the invention of the internet.”

    Want further proof? Look no further than the comments on Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro’s YouTube channel. On a video titled “The EVIL Revolutionary Left Cheers Murder!” the responses were swift and unequivocal: “FACT: Both left AND right are cheering! We don’t care about your feelings”; “I’m not buying this ‘left vs right’ shit anymore Ben, I want health care for my family”; “Just because ‘the left’ likes something doesn’t mean you have to instinctively hate it. Wake up and read the room bro.” Not exactly the kind of banter typically found in the comments section of a manosphere video.

    Wait two weeks and see how nobody is talking about it anymore. It’s not a epic shift, lol. :) It really sounds like it’s written by someone who was born yesterday.

        No it sounds like I have experience, i hope. Because I just said what is going to happen, not what I want to happen.

        I would like this story to put daily fear in the sociopaths running these companies, but it won’t.

        What those guys are afraid of is losing their money and power, and all they will do is double up on their security and continue what they are doing without missing a beat.
