The bad leftist, Mutant Socialists are back! Check out Jeff cast a COMPELLING vision for politics. Kudos to @davidmoscrop.com (dark spot in the video) who showed up even though he had no power/wifi and less than 50% battery on his phone. personalistmanifestos.substack.com/p/mutant-soc...

Well, thank you for reading. Me too!
I hadn’t thought about that element, but it makes total sense. Now I feel like I need to rewatch with that in mind!
