incredibly depressed that the absolute, obvious takeaway from the political fallout of biden’s economic management is “chronic mass unemployment is better than inflation”

just like the obvious political takeaway from ending the afghanistan war and drawing down the use of drones is “don’t end wars, no one actually cares”
You didn't write a single column defending the withdrawal as it was happening. If you don't care, why should anyone else?

You really came back to this site after 10 months just to pick this fight in particular?
Bouie called me an idiot because he's lost his power to dominate discourse. I feel bad for him because he clearly finds politics boring, but his ambition dominates him so thoroughly he can't actually pursue his real passions.

I’m sorry can you rephrase this?

I wish stoller was high profile enough that every person on the other side of each request or inquiry knew to respond this way, but I’m still glad to know that from now on, any request for clarity comes with the nagging suspicion a stranger is clowning him.

Bro I don't think that's why he called you an idiot.

Looks to me like he called you an idiot because you’re an idiot.

Actually I think it's because you're an idiot

Matt, you might want to sit this one out. You aren't beating the allegation that you are not very smart by this weird critique.

When this was the offered evidence for the claim you’re an idiot, you should offer some for what you’re saying or remain unconvincing bubba

Didn’t you set up a (now deleted or banned) sock puppet to attack him in the middle of the night?

Really telling on yourself, dipshit.

You're not doing a very good job of disproving his claim that you're an idiot.

He actually said your comment was idiotic, but I suppose expecting you to correctly parse English was asking way too much of a writer of your pedigree

you need to go take a walk and have something to eat, bud

I’m sure he’s just in his Twitter-honed instinct to drive rage engagement, and he’ll evaporate once he realizes there’s no monetary value in Bluesky clout and everyone has blocked him anyway.

Sometimes there's just, like, perfect statements of projection, and people will just come out and state them! and I think that's beautiful.

you're doing great, buddy

Go do more apologetics for used car dealers.

Occam's Razor suggests another reason is more likely

That's some real projection there buddy. Perhaps because your asinine takes got roasted and rejected out of hand like they deserved instead of being taken seriously.

Alternatively, he called out obvious flaws in your arguments because they are, well, obvious—a conclusion for which one may find support in the ad hominem nature of your response. IOW: hit dogs holler.

"I'm dominating the discourse!" /gets ratioed into oblivion

Buddy, the only reason I know who you are is because you’re an idiot
Avatar
No, he called you an idiot because you're an idiot. Glad I could clear that up for you.

matt a lot of people call you an idiot because you genuinely are an idiot

Boy it's a hell of a thing to accuse someone of not using their platform to influence discourse and in the next fucking breath try to insult them for having no power over discourse.

This is known as Fox News Syndrome, where the patient feels no accountability to be consistent to previous comments and instead jumps from one critique to another based on what happened in the last 30 seconds, hoping to overwhelm the audience so they won't notice it's just petty mudslinging.
We started off with “Matt has some idiotic opinions about American history” and now we’re at “Matt has thin skin and can’t read very well”. So, congrats on making this worse for yourself.

Or, and I'm just using Occam's razor here, you're an idiot.

He didn't call you an idiot. But I will. You're an idiot.
Avatar
Well, he’s clearly dominating *your* discourse, bud.
Avatar
You should genuinely log off for like, a year to get your brain working properly again. You've been cooked by the bird
Avatar
Well, no, he said that’s the nicest thing he *could* say about you, because that’s nicer thing than the truth, which is that you’re craven cynic who will to endorse all sorts of dumb ideas in the hopes Hawley really means his occasional anti-trust rumblings (he doesn’t).
Avatar
Maybe it's because you're an idiot though?

no, it’s because you’re an idiot. a rube. a buffoon. a fool. a halfwit. a nincompoop. a dolt. a dimwit. a bonehead. a ninny. a chucklehead. a knucklehead. a moron. a simpleton. a dunce. a blockhead. a muttonhead. a dunderhead. a chump. a dummy. a clod. a bonehead. a fathead. a nitwit and an imbecile

This is bluesky, Matt. No one here is dominating any discourse
