America has been an oligarchy for a long time but it's becoming super apparent because of the pandemic. Also, things like cancel culture, the two party duopoly, and weaponized social justice are not helping anything and leading to a form of progressive fascism that is killing the country by killing productive debates.
Super good quotation from the article:
“The thought was, if you platform me, it’s a dangerous thing,” Bhattacharya said.
“You know what’s dangerous? Is to not platform me. If you have a legitimate scientific view, a legitimate policy view, then not speak of it, then essentially what it does is it sends a message that we do not care about the truth.”
