тАЬWoke capitalтАЭ is upset at Taibbi calling out Wall St skullduggery b/c hey, they vote and give $$$ to Ds and BLM and happily scold rednecks from Ohio and Arkansas from their corporate perches-but Taibbi doesnтАЩt appreciate their virtue signalling and still calls out their bs. How awful and un-woke of him
This article is in every way a direct continuation of the work in Hate, Inc., and is outlining the even more terrifying directions our politics and our media are moving in. I personally think itтАЩs essential. - one of his best in months - and full of of the kind of hard truths that people just donтАЩt want to accept, hence its (manufactured) controversy.

Hate Inc is literally a collection of his articles from substack. You do know that, right?
