What? Paul Graham has been making statements that people found "too right wing" for at least 20 years. I have never seen him express pro-censorship or radical DEI views like the big U.S. corporations did.
We see now that all these corporations are A-grade hypocrites, which was already clear in 2020 but forbidden to say.
You cannot accuse Paul Graham for suddenly changing his views.
Can you provide a few examples? I honestly don't remember anything this bad

OP is basically an update of that after 20 years
Timing is everything. There's been a procession of tech leaders prostrating themselves before Trump, and Trump hasn't even had his coronation. Now Paul Graham has joined the fray.
So excuse me if I see it as a pathetic capitulation. A "me too" moment following all the other so-called tech leaders.
Most of them have just been handing Trump one million bucks of protection money. There is really no need to go above and beyond and post an article like this, Trump isn't even going to read it.
