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.
"Go outside" is sometimes about as helpful as "read theory"
Like you have a national stage, Matt, coordinate something motherfucker
nah that's unfair.
None of this is his fault, I'm just saying that when he points it out and doesn't offer anything else (cause he can't really) it's just frustrating to hear.
Its one reason that I prefer the hopefulness of trueanon. Matt is insightful, but only critical.
Brace and Liz are utterly hopeful, and while they don't really provide real solutions either, I end a true anon episode inspired rather than spiraling into cynicism.
Well, Brace does offer a solution, its just usually :ak47:
And I would disagree that Matt is only critical. He makes the point of "join local efforts" because it needs to be said, a point that I agree with wholeheartedly. I joined my city's tenant union a couple months back, and I think hearing "join your local org" over and over probably helped me overcome any hesitance I had about it.
Braces chk chk is pretty tongue in cheek. Their solutions are usually unionize and create local networks. Join your local org is ok, as a message. Maybe I don't listen to enough Matt to hear that part of it.
