Matt's point about subtext being gone is really relevant today, when a video of MAGAs beating a security guard to death with an American flag surfaced.

my experience with the new right wing is from texas which hasn't seen a sustained downturn since the 80s. the most frothing are self-employed professionals like handymen. they own their own homes, many support single-income families, and in general the last twenty years has come up roses no matter what they do. and they're deeply, deeply unhappy. they were already gun nut/libertarian/militia-adjacent types or joel osteen self-righteous assholes but the last few years have pushed them off the deep end. they're all between 35-70, very few degrees, all white men. in a marxist sense they are not really alienated from their labor, and maybe have things in common with the old artisan class. they definitely go nazi

An article about all the big time farmers hosed by the tariffs said they were sticking with Trump because of poo poo like abortion. Even when they do get economically hosed over it doesn't seem to matter.

The newest AT&T spokeswoman is an extremely attractive lady and ever since she got that contract she says that social media became 100% unusable for her because she was flooded by extremely thirsty losers who were obsessed with the fictional cell-phone kiosk worker she plays in their commercials.

The Cell Phone Lady was someone who falsely accused a black teenager of stealing a phone and tackled him

In retrospect the tweet was probably not funny enough to justify posting ITT, but I too initially thought Matt was talking about the ATT Lady and almost fainted

I love Matt but his brain was completely broken by Bernie losing the primary- an event that I'd say most supporters knew in their heart was the likely outcome.

Like every response he and the rest of the hosts have to this stuff is "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO!? FEEL ANXIETY??? WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SO THAT'S POINTLESS!!"

Then Matt semi-regularly has mini-meltdowns when Climate Change comes up- which is something he has even less influence over because the damage is 100% already baked in and irreversible. And Will admits to breaking down in tears privately almost every time we saber-rattle with Iran for some loving reason.

I agree. Things are looking better than ever at the moment. Our eagle-eyed media + Sane Adult Rational government + both parties being in lockstep on social control and austerity has lead to great things historically.

I agree that the stuff that happens w social media and these situations isn’t the great, the public shame thing. But there are times where it’s like “oh, you’re doing this to yourself and you’re not stopping” and this is one of those times. I’m a big fan of “if that’s what their claiming” in regards to the son’s age.

She’s trying to post through it in that interview w Gayle, and oof. That interview would have gone better if she had just stayed completely silent throughout it.

Yeah when I first heard about this story I thought it was just that she had accused the kid, not that she had also tried to tackle him. And now she's just digging her own grave.

Isn't the point just to not obsess about it so much that it dominates your psyche? We talk about this regularly in cspam, the damage that comes from reading the climate change thread too much. Matt's take strikes me as no different from people saying, "yeah don't read the climate change thread constantly forever, it is objectively bad for your mental health to do so."

His point on all these things is that immersing yourself in it online so much that you feel a ton of anxiety over it is counterproductive. It will make you *less* likely to take concrete action in your life that could contribute to a resolution of these crises.

He's not saying "ignore all the awful things in the world" he's saying stay grounded in what's right in front of you in real life because that's the only way you'll ever be able to do something about any of it.
