Will the failson will become a columnist. Felix a twitch streamer. Matt is doing his cushvlog thing. Virgil doing bad faith.
Don’t know what amber is doing tbh.
And, having been released from the bonds of reddit, the community that coalesced around them is, in turn, charting its own individual course.
I think Virgil is here too and you won’t convince me otherwise so you can’t say everyone went different directions.
Who cares
Despite the somewhat justified hate she gets, amber is the most likely of them to actually go do something tangible irl. Whether that “organising” would be worthwhile who knows, but yeh the rest of them will just be media grifters of one type of another.
Did she ever mention what her organizing experience entailed? It was always brought up on the subreddit, but never in any detail.
It’s just some failed grad student organizing in the wake of occupy, if I’m remembering correctly. After that she got into some fights in DSA committees. Based on how her defenders talk about her in order to justify her shitty takes, you’d imagine she was traveling the land sowing wildcat strikes or in the leadership of a rebellious teamsters local.
explain, how is anything they do grifting? I see this thrown around a lot, but for someone to run a grift it needs to involve an actual scam
how is it an op if they have said multiple times that listening to their podcast and posting isn’t a substitute for politics
Cocaine
Pretty sure snorting coke is praxis
Only thing that saved Bolivia from Jeffery Sachs’ Friedmanian inspired neolib lunacy (that is, if I read ‘The Shock Doctrine’ right).
She’s been working on that book for years and having her columns rejected from increasingly less prestigious publications.
Look at where she can get published over her career. She’ll never admit it though.
