I wanted to see if the article was as dumb as the headline...

It is.

It's an opinion piece from some douchebag boomer who used to write for National Review.

Don't forget the Times claims to be "independent" but that means a family trust owns it and it's been run by generations of the same family

Regardless of how the current chairman's great great grandfather intended it to be, generational wealth pointed it to fascism like generational wealth always does

Someone raised with that level of wealth just doesn't think of us as people. They're never socialized around people without 7+ figure trust funds. So we're not "real" we're an abstract concept to them.
