I live in LA and I seen this guy before spewing endless dumb stories about his tv show to young poor innocent women.

I just imagine this video as a POV of a 22 year old girl he randomly approached at the bar and started talking to about politics for no reason.

    Yeah Grant is gone. Dude likes the West Wing.
    Beardsley seems rad as far as I can tell. They're in court right now for shutting down the freeway for a protest against the genocide in Gaza.

    Dude has always had a bit of a "being leftist for clout"-vibe, though I don't think there's a lot of people who actually do that, since it's so much easier shilling for the right. But as much as I like the stuff he does he has had a bit of a sort of vibe I guess. On the other hand he seems like a genuine dude who does a lot of good stuff. And now he's a dad, which tends to make most well-off people mellow out significantly.

    I follow a lot of them and have been seeing all the cringe most of them have been posting

    Dang. I felt like they were better than that. Money makes people worse ig.

      I enjoy most of their content and most of them seem like fun and cool people as far as people go, Grant being one of my least favorite for several reasons but still funny sometimes. I think it is less a "leftist for clout" situation at the outset and more like what most radlibs (dem socs, anarchists especially) do which is sincerely want a better world but have a very surface level of theoretical development and will not prioritize that over developing a career and becoming a stable beneficiary of imperialism treat enjoyer. I have high hopes for Beardsley to be the vanguard of dropout employees but I think it is more likely that dropout's continued success will lead them all in the direction of $$

      and tbh I am harsh and think calling to vote for kamala is cringe but its a pretty standard and typical position in this country and it isn't surprising that publicly these up and coming celebrities would want to seem like "normal progressives" even if they have deeper more revolutionary desire, hopefully that is the case but I have a lot of doubt about that
