Nellie Bowles on How the Revolution Went Mainstream | The Good Fight with Yascha Mounk

Nellie Bowles is a writer and reporter and the head of strategy at The Free Press, where she writes the TGIF column. Her book is Morning After the Revolution: Dispatches from the Wrong Side of History.
In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and Nellie Bowles discuss how she came to chafe against the institutional culture of The New York Times and why she left; how new power hierarchies arose within media and institutions where small groups came to wield outsized power; and how the transformative ideas about power and society that became dominant in 2020 continue to hold great influence.

Anti fa was more anarchist and BLM was more authoritarian kind of socialism. They were both insane, so on an ideological level so could work with each other despite the contradictions.

Why aren't you talking about proportional representation when both factions are so dire?

Bowles is also minted. She needn't have concerned herself with politics, tbh.

Where are the alpha males?

She works for a corporation and was surprised? Follow the money - this naive act is also part of "the money"
