Thanks Ralph 128, 821 hplaR sknahT noitide
Mark Spiegel, a "libertarian" who normally does an excellent job of observing reality, misses half the Emerson on this one. He observes AOC and Liz and others proposing to break up technoid monopolies:
As you know, I despise her and everything she stands for, yet I take a certain pleasure in seeing the hypocritically politically correct, conservative-banning fucks who run Silicon Valley get dismembered by the very same Democratic party they bend over backwards to serve, lol.Emersonian justice for sure. But there's equal and opposite justice on the other end. Bezos and Zuckerberg were enabled and celebrated by the ZERO TAX "libertarians" and Repooflicans who see tax evasion as the only moral imperative. Bezos/Zuck thanked the enrichers by censoring and deplatforming them. In schematic form: +1. Repoofs empower Bezos -1. Bezos deplatforms Repoofs +2. Bezos empowers Progressives -2. Progressives deplatform Bezos Ralph would deeply appreciate this mirrored two-way justice, nulling out all the differences. A perfect equity adjusts its balance in all parts of life. The world looks like a multiplication table or a mathematical equation which, turn it how you will, balances itself. Unfortunately Spiegel doesn't see the mirror because he's inside it, and AOC doesn't see the mirror because she's inside it. Which makes Spiegel an aptronym.
