Yeah. There are people like Hasan Piker who are clearly just talking about what they want to talk about, and the chips fall where they may. And then, there are other people in the landscape, where the topics of conversation follow a very particular ebb and flow (as you say, the economy and the government’s relationship to it has suddenly become super unimportant to them, now, this year, not worthy of close and extensive examination all of a sudden). And also, when those topics are discussed, certain very particular framings and cliches seem to show up again and again.

I honestly don’t really know which category “Second Thought” falls into. My suspicion of them isn’t based on all that much more than a couple things I found suspicious. But I did find a couple things about them to be suspicious.
