Man who censored editorials claims to support free speech.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 53 points 2 weeks ago

You’re free to say anything you want so long as you don’t want to say something against the ruling class.

Irony so dense it throws off navigational equipment.

Democracy and Capitalism cannot coexist equally. Capital will always win.

Free speech as long as you say what I want you to say.

The free markets owned by the rich?

Has the Post — or any American newspaper — ever published an editorial against "personal liberties and free markets"?

So the WAPO goes full libertarian. It's just a further enshittification of a newspaper that was once pretty good ... but that was a long, long time ago.

Why has the entire staff of the WaPo not walked out? With this, it's solidifying itself as a right wing publication.

"You are free to say what you want and express your opinion. Just not publicly or privately, or thinking it to yourself."

Love that pic. Say hello to the new oligarchy, same as the old oligarchy.

Why did so many of them read 1984 like a manual and not warning?
