The ego on this fucking guy…
Nobody’s going to recognize you or your company Matt
A seven year-old cries out in pure joy “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! It’s Matty and he’s wearing his cappy!” Or so Yglesias dreams. He smiles and dreams on “You better subscribe and soon, mommy! Or I will grow up rudderless and become a hooligan.”
Right? The dude is the most average looking, dead behind the eyes, middle aged dad. Meanwhile, he’s out here acting like he’s jay-z wearing Rocawear in 2001.
wearing my Stupid Bitch hat to the grown-ups playground
My “stupid bitch” hat has a lot of people asking questions that are already answered by my hat.
SB is Chinese internet slang for 傻逼, which literally translates as “dumb c*nt”.
It’s totally fine, Matty! You’re mostly known for your insightful writing and soothing voice, rather than your ravishing looks. It’s unlikely that you or your exquisite blog will be recognized at the trampoline park. That is a shame, however, because more people should know who you are. Perhaps a billion people in the USA alone, who knows!
Who is this man
Matthew Yglesias. ~10 years ago he wrote an article praising sweatshops. He’s a vile cog in the neolib justification toolkit.

The prototype of this
A genius who thinks the world would be improved if only there were one billion americans.
The only thing that would follow one billion Americans is zero Americans, on account of the ocean being turned into boiling acid in like 3 years.
Real life overflow error
and how is he so effortlessly corny.
Some people just radiate cringe. I don’t know how else to explain it.
Oh no… Is that my superpower… What does great cringe come with?
Just more cringe. Sorry.
Good I’m not very responsible anyways… Sad price is right noises
Friend of the pod
No, self-promotion is totally acceptable. Being proud enough of your brand that you wear your merch is a good thing in my opinion. I avoid brands where the owners and employees don’t want to be associated with.
Very good bit.

How do you feel about stealing from small businesses? I actually like to target those with the most enthusiastic owners.
I don’t think we can generalise all small businesses.
There is this vegan groceries close to my place, the only people working there are the owners, a husband and wife. They don’t exploit anyone and don’t intend too, and they give half of what they earn to animal right associations.
Obviously don’t steal from those.
If on the other hand you know of a small business that treats their workers like crap, makes them work crazy non paid overtime hours, then go wild and fill your bag.
Depends on who they are and their general reputation. Usually family owned businesses tend to be more exploitative since they favor their family employees (source: was offered a managerial position as a cousin’s restaurant despite never working in a restaurant, but they wanted me to get paid under the table lol). I’m not going to steal from broke dude selling sandwiches from his food truck or at the corner shop because the community probably likes him and they’ll all beat my ass for being a nuisance. If it’s some white hipster moving in and opening up a shitty cafe and forcing me to buy things just to sit and do my work, I will likely steal from him.
The pro is that they’re usually barely richer than me and serve the community, somewhat. But that closeness is also a con because it may prevent people from criticizing the business. Corporate expansions are faceless, heartless, etc. which means people have no problem throwing rightful anger and hatred towards them, but more often than not it also becomes apathy and hatred towards the workers who are also part of the community (and otherwise be seen more sympathetically had it been a smaller business), and the large business doesn’t really need to address anything since it can afford to wait it out. It’s a matter of what poison to choose.
Do your research and find out if the owners are terrible people? Never been to a town hall but idk see what they support, how they vote (again no idea but there should be some way to get an idea of how they are politically, financially, or socially there). Look for how they use their moneyFind out ties they might have that are compromising. Plus there’s insurance I think for stolen items and or you should’ve already taken shrink into account for your business expenses. So. Small businesses while I personally won’t, are ok to be stolen from, in whatever videogame of your choosing. I suppose just be mindful of who they are and what networks they might have that you’re not aware of and what consequences that could arise from taking from them.
i only associate with my companies when they’re handing me a check or depositing directly in my bank account. Otherwise I don’t give a shit. Self promotion is whatever, but this guy deserve to get his ass kicked for reasons beyond his merchandising
beating Matty’s ass for 20 minutes
Hey is that your own blog on your hat?!
resumes beating
That logo sucks ass
Time to run this loser through the FaceApp
Since gauche means “left” I’m pretty sure he’d have to got though a more radical change to be that way
I can’t fathom the type of person who would recognize both Matt Yglesias and his blog’s logo, in public.
I’ve never heard anyone say the word “gauche” out loud
Doing so in some states is a misdemeanor if not a felony.
Dude dressing like a US Postal Worker cosplay…
Oof!
PDPA logo-lookin ass mf
Yes.
