Wtf happened to this guy? He used to be one of my favorite people to read. He used to do great reporting on the financial collapse and he legendarily ethered Thomas Friedman.

Now look at him. This reads like something from The Daily Caller.

Thanksgiving is Awesome

Matt is dropping fire. What's the problem? His criticism of the media and intel agencies on Russiagate has been heat too.

pretty sure he turned into a fascist white supremacist or something like that


edit: really had to force myself to read that but it's indistinguishable from something you would've found on sf, shame it's not satire

He wants to be Hunter S. Thompson, but isn't funny or creative enough to do it - he's just a regular right-wing dirtbag with libertarian sympathies like the rest.

His work on corruption is occasionally worth a read, but most of his Substack output is poor.

I kept telling yall... a lot of these bernie bros were just insurgent disaffected pseudo-white supremacists.

he had a run but that substack money from right wing readers must be amazing.

I knew taibbi was a right wing cocksucker when this dude was attacking Robin DiAngelo and anti-racism and the 1619 project. Thats a red flag right there cause they were the hit dog hollering. They dont give a fukk about black people like that either.

Reads like a literal satire until you realize the tropes and catch phrases are simply clumsy like a dude nutting during foreplay with a cute girl. He’s fumbling over himself trying to appeal to a crowd that will eat it up and thank him for it. So excited to get those bars off, and offend a few people (who he will gleefully quote on twitter). That’s really all this stuff is. We now have an entire media sphere where you can make a decent living appealing solely to racists, bigots, and most importantly the “both sides…but I’m really a right winger” indifferent bros.

Do I celebrate Thanksgiving without reservation? Sure. It’s a day I (sometimes) spend with family. That’s it. Do I also understand Columbus was a piece of shyt and we’re still fukking over native Americans to this day? Yes. Both can be true.
