the extraction class (and the brunchlord trust fund editors they seed at outlets like The Atlantic) are positively desperate to redirect attention away from the popularity and real-world potential of progressive reform

are they bright enough to know they're leveraging the dumber and more extreme statements of a babbling twitch streamer to try and drive people rightward away from progressive reform and instead toward their personal center-right class interests under the pretense of useful journalism? I suspect so!

though it's so broadly institutionalized and normalized at these outlets I'm not sure they actually see what they're doing with any introspection anymore

"Revenge for MeToo (which constrained their ability to rape employees), Revenge for Black Lives Matter (which called out how racist many of them were) and Revenge for the 2021 Labor Market where they suddenly had to compete for scarce labor instead of the other way around" bsky.app/profile/mtsw...

Exactly. The attention he gets way out of proportion to the percentage of people who actually know who the fuck he is. The Atlantic needs to to patronize us about something however and they will give the provacatuer what he wants as a result !
