Felix, Matt and Virgil were not present and shouldn't get dragged down with them on the matter.
Not to say they never have bad takes or are never wrong on anything, but at minimum they weren't dumb enough to defend cops/criticize ACAB and BLM at the peak of the Floyd protests.
I'm just defending the Good Bois honor and virtue.

Not

Imagine being a leftist and defending the cops *from mean slogans.
It's pretty hard because you can't do both at the same time.
Edit: Fixed
Nothing they said came close to "defending the cops."
If you're going to criticize what some other leftist said, at least criticize what they said, not some mischaracterization of it.
So you mean he had exactly the same take as obama about slogans? I see, imperialist takes are fine when people we like do it
No, and this isn't really about imperialism at all.
Except if you listen to the entire episode, they aren't defending cops, they just say some slogans are bad strategy because they will resonate poorly with racial minorities and the working class. You can disagree, but calling it a defense of cops is BS.
Imagine being a leftist and crucifying other leftists because you heard bad gossip about them. Oh, wait, that happens all the time.
