knowing that piker was groomed to become a media personality in a way similar to how justin timberlake was groomed for stardom via the mickey mouse club makes me envy him and chomsky already literally spent decades explaining to americans how the careers of media personalities are artificially boosted so long as they’re effective at capturing & co-opting progressive movements like piker is – hopefully unwittingly – doing.

history teaches us that you have to practice leftism in the right ways to succeed like the chinese, north koreans, vietnamese and cubans are doing and history also teach us us how to fail through various examples of leftists leaders and movements that chose to ignore history only to have their efforts end up being captured by the epstein class.

piker fits (a little bit too well) into the latter group and history says that all of his efforts will only go to feed into the liberal/conservative ratcheting effect in the same way that all centrists do without realizing it.
