Bret Weinstein went from being random professor at quirky liberal-arts college to NYT-best selling author because he got yelled at by some students who were feeling their oats.
If I read those tweets right, he became best-selling author because someone (I suspect Thiel) is buying his books on a mass scale. That's a distinct issue from college students.
The only reason anyone’s doing that is because he’s an IDW icon. Which only happened because of what the kids at Evergreen State did.
He's an IDW icon because interested parties (again, likely Peter Thiel) are putting a lot of money into making him an icon, by financing his work & buying his books on a mass scale. It's all plutocratic driven stuff. A good wealth tax is best solution.
Not everything is fixed by a wealth tax dude, and the NYT bestseller list definitely won’t be
The outsized role of plutocrats in promoting dishonest ideas is not something that will be fixed but it can be mitigated.
The solution is to abolish plutocrats.
