To paraphrase Fukuyama’s famous warning - if the success of liberal democracy means people can’t battle for real freedoms, they will instead fight for the right to use slang terms for genitalia in the boardroom
“I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.”

Business in the age of Trump. Sounds liberating.
