Matthew Yglesias is a Disingenuous Bootlicker on Media Madness
Editor’s note: well there’s no rest for the wicked and no end to the efforts I have to make to get around online and social media censorship, algorithmic or otherwise; as such I’m posting a link to my most recent Media Madness essay here to help readers see it – please feel free to share my work on your own social media accounts if you’d like to assist in this effort; they probably can’t mute us all.
Why Does Anyone Take Yiggy Seriously At All?
What do you get when you hand a sentient, man-shaped potato a Harvard degree, an outrageously high salary, and instructions to generate pro-centrist, neoliberal content no matter how inappropriate or obtuse it might be? A Media Madness Take Down post just waiting to happen.
“Older readers will of course recognize the “logic” behind Matty’s tweet from the era of Clintonian “triangulation” and anyone who hasn’t been living under a rock for the past eleven years will detect the strong odor of neoliberal worship of “bipartisan compromise” — which is typically coded language for “screwing over our labor class base on behalf of rich people almost as badly as the Republicans would and then calling it progress.” Of course typically liberal “thought leaders” will suggest capitulating to the GOP on economic issues to preserve progress on social inequality issues; before ultimately knifing those marginalized people anyway and furthering the Democratic Party’s seemingly ceaseless shift to the right (for just two examples, see Bill Clinton’s 1994 crime bill, or the record number of migrant deportations undertaken under Obama’s administration) – Matty however, ever the bold pragmatist, says the quiet part out loud.”
That’s right my friends; today we’re talking about about soulless lizard-brained Vox editor Matty Yglesias and how to flip “red states” without embracing bigotry – you can check out the article by clicking on either the link, or the image below:
