The NYTFT has gone all in on “a new era of conservatism” with this article.
First, they directly compare tech bro billionaires flocking to bend the knee to Trump to the “surge in support for social justice causes” after the killing of George Floyd by police. Nothing problematic about that comparison, right?

Later, they quote a “top banker” as saying, “We can say ‘r*tard’ and ‘p*ssy’ without fear of getting cancelled … it’s a new dawn.”
I know the NYTFT has always been conservative, but this together with the way the Washington Post has been cosying up to Trump, says a lot about where the US is headed.
Edit: wrong acronym
FYI this is a Financial Times article, not the New York Times.
The NYT has its problems, but this feels like hastily posted anti media bullshit.
FT.com is not NYT.com. FT is owned by the Nikkei, basically Japan’s Dow Jones, or S&P500. Of course they’re going to be sucking up to idiot bankers.
