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.
This is an excellent point to take into conversations with real people in your life, into organizing, etc.
You cannot just whine. You have to offer an alternative. An eternal defense for awful institutions is "sure it's awful, but it's better than anything else we've tried." You have to show that's bullshit, and you can't do that by simply reiterating what's already admitted: that the institution is awful.
People hear about problems all the time; they want solutions.

Matt does offer good advice for finding a solution, but it feels woefully inadequate at this point.
Yeah, no shade at Matt here. And convincing people who see problems with capitalism that capitalism is fundamentally unsalvageable does have significant value. But that needs to be paired with an achievable alternative as soon as possible.
I got it as feedback my first year of working and (at least offline) I try to stick to it.
