It's not that he's wrong or cynical or the wrong kind of doomerpilled or whatever

It's just that he's pointing out problems without offering anything better. Criticizing people for being mad online but even admitting no real other solutions exist.

I really don't know what to do about that besides stay mad. :(

Matt is Bashir and we're all Rom in desperate need of a Chief O'Brien to help up bridge that gap between good theory and good practice.

I am not sober right now.

    Idk. I mean, it is what it is. I suppose his solution in that sense would be the social transition to communism. Don't think anyone could give a step by step list of what to do and his advice is a bit vague but tbh it reflects how bad the situation is for the 'left'. Main problem is there isn't a coherent, holistic, and conscious social base that is able (or even friendly to) socialist politics. That's where he interjects calling for left to lay roots by struggling with their own community, if you like. I think he's got about the right amount of disillusionment with our politics (US) as individuals, mostly as a entertainment and self branding social commodity (clout I guess); but is very worthwhile in social coordination (like Bernie's campaign). Once again this is simply how my brain translates his takes. So, just having some fun here.
