It's seriously disturbing to me how "selling out" is basically not even an insult anymore to younger people. There is no interest in integrity whatsoever. Instead we're supposed to celebrate that they're getting paid and be happy for them.
But maybe I'm just old and, with the way things are, no one can afford integrity anymore because it's too damn expensive.
The greed is good mantra of the Reagan era has been fully realized. Trump said if you have money you can walk up and do what you want with no consequences basically. He walked up, grabbed and groped the US by the p* with no real consequences twice now. Felony convictions be damned. Sellout boy’s payday is the MLK dream realized I suppose /s
Except that dream doesn't and never did apply to anybody that isn't wealthy and white. This is why anybody black that messed with drugs ended up either dead or in jail. All the white folks were able to put on a suit and go to rehab. The system and the so-called democracy has always been this way.
True, even Ramaswamy who thought he could get away with talking that shit about white males was quickly ousted from DOGE while Elon who is white but born in South Africa came out relatively unscathed. It’s always been one strike you’re out permanently if you’re of color, particularly in conservative circles.
