Alguns conservadores estão a começar a perceber que os liberais só são contra a concentração de poder quando os poderosos usam o título de "governantes"

E, inversamente, alguns liberais estão a começar a perceber que os conservadores só são contra o "estatismo" quando esse é usado para promover causas progressistas.

Josh Hawley Says Libertarians Who Defend Tech Are Enamored with Power. He Should Look in the Mirror, por Robby Soave (Reason):

It is discouraging that an ostensible conservative would make it his personal crusade to destroy the Big Tech boogeyman by ceaselessly threatening government intervention. But this is the path Hawley has chosen. Oddly, he thinks libertarians should be applauding him for it.

"I don't understand why those who call themselves libertarians are so enamored with this incredible concentration of power in the hands of a few," he told The Hill's Saagar Enjeti in a recent interview. "I thought the whole libertarian tradition was about standing up to power. It was about checking concentrated power on behalf of the people."
