The trio has evidently come to understand that populism, on the left and the right, is a bigger movement than any one politician — it has a broader message, a sentiment, a philosophy, sometimes even an aesthetic — it’s a rebel culture.
This sort of fake unity is going to be used to that effect
Like, understanding some ten minutes Matt rant (or at least decoding the point of the rant) should be incompatible with being that silly. Or maybe Matt's rants just sound nice and people think they understand them while it never had any real meaning, and the goal of the rant was to be ambiguous.
I think :LIB:s are that silly. There are defintely people who can listen to Chapo for entertainment, and who will be duped by the shiny prospect of being part of the petit-bourgeois.
Not me of course! :think-about-it:
Also, the chapo boys are helpful for radicalizing many people and showing them an alternative. However, they still have their problems. For instance they really weren't very helpful during the george floyd protests about directing people toward black/brown/indigenous leaders. They did and still do make fun of cops a lot, which is of course good :the-pigs:
All you have to do is ask them what concessions have they made for the left. Thinnest facade I've ever seen in my career of hanging out online in political spaces.
Now that Bernie has been neutralized and we have nowhere to go, the project of the new right is to peel off as many of us as possible to their side.
It probably would have worked better if they hadn't literally started with the actual artsy champagne socialists.
Totally! And many are going to fall for it.

Are chapo listeners that silly?
