I may be spitballing here, but it seems that neoliberals can't imagine an anti-left campaign could be run by anything but a conservative (read: republican) entity. That neoliberalism is actually conservative doesn't cross their minds (why would it? the mere existence of leftism is coopted or erased in American media). That the NYT would be part of that apparatus hasn't crossed enough people's minds, until now. Their façade is cracking.
Hardly surprising when American science is bullied into silence by fundamentalists pushing YEC, abstinence, raw milk, vaccine denial, moon landing conspiracy... not to mention capitalists taking subsidies for faster broadband multiple billions of dollars, multiple times, over decades, and pocketing it... gutting science programs & support at the hands of political agenda has consequences.
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary, those who don't, those who thought this joke was in binary, and those who realize it works for any whole number base.
Not paying taxes would work, but only if everyone did it. So is this how we starve the beast? Then again, I feel like I'm already on a few lists, why not paint a target on my back too?
Please don't lump Gen-Xers in with boomers. Why do you think Gen-X got its name? Disillusionment, detachment, loss of identity and purpose. Gen-X didn't know what was wrong, but they knew enough to know they were left out.
Even boomers aren't to blame -- they just have more people in the ownership class right now. If we divide along age and generational lines, the capitalists benefit.
My chance at pedantry! Also, some black bears are brown, and some grizzlies are black. If you live in overlapping territory, it may be easier to know them by shape... but if you're close enough to discern shape, you're already in a bad spot.
