Same kind of rhetoric - can't dismantle the master's house with the master's tools, can't fight capitalism by putting evil marketers and advertisers in positions of power, etc It all sounds good until you ask the obvious question - "Then how do you know what people think"

Replying to @arthur_affect
And the apparent answer is "I just know" "I'm very wise, I listen to the voice of the people, I have empathy and authentic unfiltered experience of life on these streets" Bullshit, in other words

Yeah and conveniently those guesses are just based on whatever the person felt like saying and doing anyway How convenient and easy and fun politics turns out to be, if only every other job also worked that way

Right, and the only thing that matters is you go out and vote, and whatever happens in the end is what the people decided so it's fine Seemingly at odds with the idea that there are lives on the line and people's future at stake

I am saying that being right has nothing to do with being effective, which is exactly why I called Sorkinesque fantasies childish and annoying And if you actually think you are right it is VERY IMPORTANT that you try to become effective

Yes That's what I'm saying, and I'm saying I think that's stupid And I'm also saying the whole podcast/breadtube set has a similar delusion - "I'm a big viral hit because I'm right, and that means my politics are both objectively good and will eventually win"

"And that means both morally and practically I should keep doing whatever got me famous, and anyone trying to criticize me is just trying to sabotage me due to their own bad politics"

How is the effectiveness of a single leader even gauged? By how many elections are won?
