The great virtue of not having a political future is that leaders can actually speak their minds and say what needs to be said. Mostly, that moment comes at the end of a career, as when the celebrated World War II general turned president, Dwight Eisenhower, warned on leaving office in 1961 that the military-industrial complex was growing uncomfortably powerful for a peace-time democracy. Last week, it was Joe Biden’s turn to speak truth after power.

The crux here is that, most likely, Biden hasn‘t even written this statement himself as doesn‘t seem to be mentally aware anymore. And, it became very clear that there was „another oligarchy“ controlling him too while he was in office. I‘m not sure if we then should even take his point and argue as if it had validity because it may simply have been said to discredit the new elites. The whole intention of why it was said is very likely not to speak truth to power or to make things better in perpetuity

So this article says

- tech oligarchy in US is too powerful

- Bluesky is tech, so Bluesky is a risk

- We better find how to deal with it on a narrative level

😅 what sorry? Wasn‘t the point that we derisk the centralized tech actors before we extinguish our best counter power to them?

This reads like some cheap bait and switch propaganda
