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.

    I dunno if you listened to the last one but he made it pretty clear that he's basically talking to himself about his own problems - his own problem is that he uses Being Online as an excuse for not doing Other Things because of his hypochondria. And he's not really talking about how to Beat Capitalism, he's talking about how to overcome his own alienation under capitalism that he copes with by being online, and he can do that by logging off and doing the other things.
