If you looked up meandering in a dictionary, it would have a screenshot of Matt explaining dialectical-grillpillism with a spatula in his hand. I generally enjoy listening to him thinking out loud and trying to work his way through the confounding world we live in. He's closer to the root of the matter than the vast majority of babbling morons who get shoved upon us. But the dude is not an oracle. He can get high on his own farts sometimes, and it is nice to see some legitimate criticism levelled upon him from the left.

Most of the time I hear shitlibs trying to tear the guy down and I pay no mind because his assessment of the situation is more correct than they'll ever be. Sometimes I hear bona fide leftists pan him, but with little more elaboration than that he's a comfortable aritsan/petit bourge in the imperial core. But a dissection like this is pretty uncommon.

An adequate rebuttal could have probably been done in about a half hour. A little bit more preparation and less technical difficulties live on the air would have helped, but this video gives me "If I had more time I would have written a shorter letter" vibes. It is meta-livestream commentary. In a sense, it is the sewer of video content. But along the way it covered a lot of interesting history and is holding the large adult son accountable. I see no downsides personally.
