He’s not American, so he might’ve had a different view on things. The view of many pro business not-quite-Americans is of this place as a land of promise and opportunity. It’s why so many immigrate in hoping them or their children can make a good life, when they’re really just convenient labor for the ruling class. Still a stale af take though.
Note I said “pro business,” which probably checks out for someone who’s formed connections with multiple tech businesses over the years. When you’re around people who believe something like that, it often seeps into your way of understanding the world. Now that the neoliberal house of cards is collapsing, Linus is realizing that the tech business community themselves were the biggest believers in the lie.
Yea idk listening to the clip it’s probably not a new idea of his, just thought the cover was kinda funny
Anyways, he literally says in the clip that the American dream (of at least middle class prosperity) was mostly real for the baby boomer generation so I don’t really know why they titled it that

In all fairness, he kind of lived his own version: started a company on his own, became successful, got pretty rich.
