It's been pretty incredible to watch the transformation honestly. I can't recall what post it was earlier that made it pretty bare. I think it was his reinterpretation of "things that can't be said" to be the exact opposite of speaking truth to power, but instead was along the lines of "people in power are having to deal with consequences of their actions that their money can't save them from. And that's bad." Yeah and people without money/power also have to deal with the consequences of our actions. That's a normal facet of life.
All the above is very loose of what he said and I honestly stopped paying attention to his posts and barely remember the details now. Someone else likely can make many corrections to what I wrote above. But honestly the plight of the billionaire gets even less empathy from me right now given what people are living through in 2020.
- abvdasker 6y agoYes, that was also the blog post which first raised alarm bells for me. The whole time I was reading it I got this sinking feeling. I couldn’t help but wonder to myself, why is PG being so coy here? What is it that he really wants to say but is afraid to? The fact that he thinks it would be too socially costly for him to say it means it might be pretty bad... I had my guesses then, and as his posts have become increasingly conservative I’m more confident than ever that I correctly identified the subtext of his words.
