Personal liberties and free markets are “utterly fascist.”

It takes a truly twisted person to reach that conclusion.


Twisted, indeed.

"Personal liberties" represents a very mushy term representing an equally slippery slope. Does Bezos mean children should exercise "personal liberties" (as conditioned in public schools) or do their parents exercise "personal liberties" in curtailing them?

What does he mean?

Bezos is often the target of the Left, saying he’s “too rich” and should give his wealth away to the poor. Really? During the rise of Amazon, Bezos became a millionaire in fairly quick order. But rather than sail around the world eating bon-bons, he plowed the money back into the company so it could grow. To those idiots who think he’s “too rich”, until you feed, clothe, and shelter over 250,000+ souls and their families, I suggest you sit down and STFU.

Bezos is leading an army filled with quisling soldiers waiting to frag him.

Hopefully he figures it out...

since i have no idea what’s actually on WaPo’s opinion pages, i’ve wondered if their stable of insane hard-leftist “columnists” are covered by this sea change, or does the Bezos edict JUST cover the “official” editorial itself? ...

if the edict also covers the gaggle of TDS columnists, then there’s a whole bunch of folks that’ll either have to bitterly flounce out the door while quitting or convert to writing about kittens and bunnies and such instead ...

He owns the paper and get to dictate the editorial opinion...like all owners before him..ie Hearst, etc....

Whether one agrees with Bezos or not, it is well within his right to dictate the direction of his own newspaper.

Where does someone think that the owner does not have such power or obligation? Where’s that new guy on X, Retard Finder?

Bezos said he wants to take the newspaper in a nude erection. To each his own, I guess.

They are racist, too! </s>

Not exactly a Bezos fan.

But to run a successful business requires a degree of common sense.

To acquire millions of dollars of net worth as a professional politician requires the denial of common sense.

The uniparty of the last fifty years has put me in this strange position of siding with billions as the patriots who will fully restore what remains of this shell of a republic.

Trump stepped forth first and then Musk and now Bezos?

I don’t fully trust Bezos but he seems to recognizes the media is a business and it makes no sense to limit your consumers to a narrow Marxist POV.

In Trump I trust, fully.

The other two are on probation.

Not entirely clear, but he probably means the Bill of Rights.

On probation.

That’s a good way to look at it.

He’s trying to get back to Bill Clinton’s Democratic Party, not Milton Friedman or Murray Rothbard or Ayn Rand.
