      Summer 2020 scared the absolute shit out of the bourgeoisie. I think this is the exact reason why Biden has been pumping money into pig budgets. They know how unprepared they were in 2020, and theyre doing everything they can to crack down on it harder when it pops off soon

        I wouldn't say underprepared. Why do you think George Floyd murder became "donate to BLM orgs" and "vote Biden", and then vanished when Chauvin was convicted and Biden was elected?

        A bunch of shit got burned down, sure, but all that energy was funneled directly into the Democratic party.

        cracking down harder is the exact opposite of successful counter-insurgency, but the US has a proven track record of completely ignoring that notion abroad, getting its shit kicked in and having learned absolutely nothing the next time it happens. doesn't surprise me they also repeat that at home.

        Haven't listened to the podcast in years, and haven't much thought about it, but Matt's heartfelt rants were up there.
