Like, is any of this shit real? It's so surreal the contrast between this shit and, like, CNN or The Pod Johns.
But a good run down on the Hunter Biden story, only 1% I had heard before listening to this, if true, I suppose.
What's people's opinions on the host? They seem trustworthy and on the up and up, but like I said, its so surreal.
Honestly Matt as usual has made an excellent point about conspiracy theories like 9/11 Truth in his recent vlogs.
Ultimately it doesn't matter whether 9/11 was an inside job or not because conspiracy theory, as an inherently reactionary way of looking at events and politics, eventually runs up against a wall: "So you're one of the elect who has connected the dots and discovered The Awful Truth. Now what?"
What actual difference does it make, in any material sense, if it came out tomorrow that Bush literally did 9/11? Nothing. What are you going to do about that is the only question that matters, and conspiracy theory doesn't answer it. And if you need to some Awful Truth to motivate you to taking meaningful political action that will fundamentally shift society, then you're not going to do anything about that after learning that Awful Truth anyways. The retreat into conspiracy theory is the effect of learned helplessness and an inability to meaningfully affect society around you. The only way to change this attitude is to engage in Marxist analysis and communist organizing, and if you're at that point you're not going to be worrying about conspiracy theory anyways.
As usual, Matt is the smartest chapo.
