    Jeet Heer Retweeted Niall Ferguson

    Dude who celebrates the British Empire now thinks inflicting opium on other nations is bad.https://twitter.com/nfergus/status/1292506391005941760 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Niall FergusonVerified account @nfergus
    "TikTok is not just China’s revenge for the century of humiliation between the Opium Wars and Mao’s revolution. It is the opium — a digital fentanyl, to get our kids stoked for the coming Chinese imperium."

        It's been sad watching Niall, with each book, article, and tweet, steadily lose his mind.

        Yep. He was ok when he wrote about the history of German banking. That was a long time ago now.
