These agonised contortions are on full display in the United States and elsewhere on a variety of topics, from the status of the 2020 election to Covid vaccines to trans issues. Just as in Sweden in 2015, our expert class is beleaguered, desperately looking for something to stem the tide of wrongthink and rebellion from the people below them. And just as Sweden saw an exploding “alternative media” scene as a response to attempts to control the media narrative, the American experts are battling the uncomfortable fact that Joe Rogan has far more viewers than any of the channels they control.

Hi Frank,
ReplyDeleteOur experts are beleaguered? Our scientists have been doing a great job in the face of misinformation. They just keep coming out with studies about how vaccines do against the different strains. I've read nothing about them being beleaguered about it. They're scientists.
On Rogan, after Spotify was flooded so much with cancelations that they had to suspend their customers' ability to cancel, Rogan came out and apologized for not doing due diligence, saying he was just looking for people who would counter common viewpoints. He says he will try to do better in the future to research, although he is no expert. Now he is apologizing today for his racial slurs.
