You know it's 2020 when a judiciary committee address begins with a billionaire attempting to cloak himself in a victim narrative.

I can't wait for the world to go back to normal, so it once again becomes shameful to show any weakness and immorality, so we can deal with people's actions rather than their position on the victimhood totem pole.

I really enjoyed the first bit about his background. I don't see it as "victimhood" as much as showing where he came from - inspirational, even.

What victim narrative? He didn't say anything about being a victim or try to make anyone feel sorry for him.

I hate to say it friend but 2016 was no black swan. This is the new normal. The tech landscape we built has completely destroyed a sense of shared narrative, at least in the US. With rhetoric being more effective for building political capital than sane policy, there is no one to call out the smarm.
