I wanted to see if the article was as dumb as the headline…
It is.
It’s an opinion piece from some douchebag boomer who used to write for National Review.
Don’t forget the Times claims to be “independent” but that means a family trust owns it and it’s been run by generations of the same family
Regardless of how the current chairman’s great great grandfather intended it to be, generational wealth pointed it to fascism like generational wealth always does
Someone raised with that level of wealth just doesn’t think of us as people. They’re never socialized around people without 7+ figure trust funds. So we’re not “real” we’re an abstract concept to them.
The parent comment is all ad hominem & genetic fallacy lacking substance or criticism of the article.
Clearly it disapproves of the writer & publication, and it derides irrelevant contingencies about ancestry, provenance, wealth.
As for anything of substance about the article itself: nothing.
See how that works?
This comment evaluated the substance of the parent comment.
I challenge lemmy to do better & try that with the article.
When I see a crazy person throwing poop at everyone, I don’t talk about how much fiber he’s been eating or how good his pitching arm is…
I cross to the other side of the road and, if anything, say to someone next to me:
That mothefucker is crazy
And expect no more than a head nod in response.
If somebody asked why we didn’t try being covered in the crazy man’s poop…
In person I’d have probably already left, because that person let the crazy guy pelt him with shit for 15 minutes just to see what it was like. So now they smell like shit, and are advocating the validity of throwing shit as a means of communication.

Ad hominem again: the parent commenter only seems to argue in logical fallacies.
