Lukashenka knew that arresting children for eating ice cream would make him a laughingstock abroad. Zuckerberg knows that threatening Wynn-Williams for standing in wooden silence on a stage makes him look like history's most guillotineable billionaire. 40/

But both Lukashenka and Zuckerberg are willing to be thought a thin-skinned bully, so long as that means the people they oppress the most are too terrified to ever challenge their authority. eof/

I'm reminded of Chevron's pursuit of Steven Donziger. Different, but similar.

Careless People is next on my reading list after I've finished Karen Hao's 'Empire of AI — Inside the reckless race for total domination'... It's difficult not to see parallels!

Thanks, seems sadly v believable. I’m halfway through Careless People and have a side thought: beyond all the specific goings on the book does an excellent job of showing the meta leadership to be an awful collection of incurious thin skinned self-interested ****s. Which being true isn’t libellous.

Thin-skinned bullies are all the rage these days.
