It's not shaming him. The grumpy old dude is dead, and has been for 350 years.

It's merely accepting that history isn't complete, and sometimes new things are found about historical figures, and that sometimes your beloved historical "free speech" is pretty abhorrent when you frame it in modern terms.

It's not rewriting history; it's looking at it with the benefit of a few centuries of learning and medical advances in treating bladder stones. All of which I accept that Andrew Doyle is desperate to roll back and erase as quickly as possible.

#Bezos Wenn Überreiche das Sagen haben, sind Ihre Nachrichten nicht sicher Marty Baron, der ehem. Chefredakteur der Washington Post, hob die „widerlichen“ Bemühungen des Eigentümers hervor, sich bei #Trump einzuschmeicheln – „Fallbeispiel für beinahe sofortige, selbstverschuldete Markenzerstörung“.

#Musk, #Zuckerberg, #Bezos, #Thiel etc. non sono villain.
Sono “Weyland-Yutani” in formazione. Mega corporazioni incontrollabili.

1️⃣ Potere economico superiore agli Stati;
2️⃣ Tecnologia opaca e proprietaria;
3️⃣ Nessuna responsabilità morale diretta.

La fantascienza non predice il futuro.
Lo anticipa.

#Musk, #Zuckerberg, #Bezos, #Thiel, etc. aren’t villains. They’re “Weyland-Yutani” in the making.
