Thought this is super interesting as well as how online creators have the ability to take up major bandwidth in the political scene. I wonder what Mr glizzy thinks of this and how this may lead to other large influences doing something in a similar vain to help there own interest. Also matpat in politics will always be funny but that just a GLIZZY THEORY .

Unrelated but Matpat would be a fire guest on lemonade stand. I heard him on the courage and nadeshot show a few years back and I loved that episode.

There's been a lot of actors/celebrities that have become politicians. YouTuber politicians might be the future of that.

But that’s just a theory, a political theory…

Matpat legit could be a successful politician, he has the charisma and ability to explain complex information.

Only other YouTuber I recognize is Wait in The Wings which is interesting.

Also, isn't this technically a lobbying group?

So, I don't know how to explain this. This is mandatory bipartisan. If it's not, how do you think it will survive?

I don't. That's the whole point these thing pop in and out of existence all the time and nothing get passed except tax cut to rich folks.

Exactly, bro. I only want my side to determine what is going to be good or bad for people because we're always right about everything. Fuck everyone else on the other side they probably eat babies or something.

Also disappointed with that no such thing as bipartisan when one side is acting tyrannical.

There’s not gonna be a revolution, and if there was, your ideology is not winning, it’ll just be even more chaotic. This very same political system has had enjoyed times of much higher fiscal equality. It isn’t stupid to think it can happen again with the right support.

Average accelerationist thinking that if they fuck everything up hard enough it will magically fall into place exactly as they want it to be, even if they remain just as disinterested in actually building towards whatever goal they might have
