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’ve found Matt’s vids really cathartic. Yes, it’s a lot of yelling at folks, and as others have said, he’s mostly yelling at himself. His “speak to the manager” metaphor is pretty apt, and I really vibe with him finding necessity in a spiritual component for leftism.

      Pure, uncut contempt for the American ruling class like his is something that not many others provide, especially while also being fairly smart, funny, and non reactionary.

      He’s probably going to give himself a heart attack and ulcer in the long run, but in the meantime he’s providing a valuable service by helping to break our vestigial respect of liberal authority.
