We really have to step up our game now
:large-adult-son:
Oh for sure. I’ve definitely heard him talk about stuff like this. Like feeling totally powerless in the face of this awful shit, and how even some of our stupidest responses are really just a frantic reaction to knowing there’s nothing we can do. To be fair, he does usually follow it up with something about building community and taking care of the people around you.
Yeah, I don’t think Matt is blackpilled at all and he is definitely in favor of getting involved in your community irl and looking for opportunities to build something where you are. That reaction to feeling helpless really stuck with me though because when I heard him say it, I was instantly like, “yes, that’s it, that’s exactly it, that’s how I feel.” So I can even hear his voice in my head saying "And you say “what the fuck” because all you can say is “what the fuck.” Like, it’s burned into my brain. Cheesy, I know.
Lol I feel goofy talking about this in a shitting on the cult of Matt thread, but in one of his streams he went down one of those holes and he said something about being black pilled and said, “so unless you’re going to kill yourself… Which you’re not gonna do.” There was something about the way he said it that stuck with me. Like he genuinely realized in that moment people take him seriously and he cares about that and wants people to be ok. I think he’s a good person. Is he worth building a cult around? Hell no. Are there worse people to listen to? Most definitely.

This is the important bit, I’m not saying you should delete your twitch accounts
lol yeah, I get that feeling. I’m posting cringe today for sure. But I do agree with you on your assessment of Matt (and the people who take him too seriously).
