There's something weird happening where The Discourse about the tariffs is about how Trump is trying to return us to 1950's and 1960's, the manufacturing heyday of America, but he's not! He' been very very explicit about this. He wants to return us to the 1890's. That's a different project!

The right treated the tech barons like shit. They called them woke, derided them as “Big Tech,” leaked internal emails, held hearings to discredit them, made removing federal protections from lawsuits against them a major cause. The barons went with them anyway because they like fascism.
Here’s the most charitable reading I can offer:
The tech barons behaved as though they were atop a social hierarchy, and expected mass adoration for their generosity+forgiveness for mistakes.
Instead, Elizabeth Warren, Lina Khan et al treated them like the heads of *massive corporations.*

i don't think it's the only or sole explanation, but a major difference between the barons of the gilded age and our modern versions are that the gilded age barons were all religious, to varying degrees
say what you like about JP Morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, et al, but I think it's fair to say that it wouldn't have even occurred to them to do what Elon Musk did to USAID. only an utterly degenerate monster would murder a million+ children basically for the hell of it
