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.

    Yea but you can’t know that until you’ve gone out and tried it. Sitting online and plotting out your perfect politic is equal to zero. You’ve got to go outside and live your politics even if they’re ultimately wrong and unhelpful because the reality is that you’ll never ultimately know either way

      We can't look at history and look at how things have actually played out and draw conclusions based on that?

        Who’s we? You looking at history by yourself and dreaming up the perfect answer to the world’s problems isn’t useful by any measure. Studying history as a group to inform group decisions is an entirely different thing. Locking yourself into the prison of your head is an outcome of liberalism and is exactly counter to the collective action that defines leftist politics
