Michael's condemning liberals for being out of touch. By "liberals" he means center left folks; not real leftists.

the factional terminology he's using is sufficinetly insular that people literally don't understand what he's talking about.

he doesn't seem to realize that there's a disconnect either...at least not in the first part of the thread.

so, you have the spectacle of someone condemning insularity while alienating everybody he talks to through in-group terminology.

ever since he went kinda pro-Trump there, Tracey's mentions are half lefties and half chan-scum trying to redpill him. Whiplash.
