- The new fascism is the woke industrial complex consisting of big US corporations and the big governments of China and the United States August 12, 2021And so that is what I call the birth of this woke industrial complex. It is a new leviathan, a new monster, that is far more powerful than what Thomas Hobbes might have envisioned 400 years ago, and it is the biggest threat to individual liberty today.

- Our government is using Big Tech companies to circumvent the First Amendment and censor free speech on its behalf July 19, 2021Google, Facebook and Twitter should be treated as state actors under existing legal doctrines. Using a combination of statutory inducements and regulatory threats, Congress has co-opted Silicon Valley to do through the back door what government cannot directly accomplish under the Constitution.

- Big Tech opposes temporary blocking of H-1B guest worker visas because it wants to give your childrens’ jobs to cheap foreign labor July 2, 2020So Apple isn't fighting for diversity.
