    Now that “Anti-woke” ideology has been revealed as a psyop by the Epstein files, I’m very curious to see if Trey Stone and Matt Parker will choose to reckon with their own contributions or if they’ll double-down.

      Anti PC culture was already around for a long time, it just got tossed into overdrive with the 4chan Epstein stuff, they’re pretty self aware though, so we’ll see

        Yep. I remember the film PCU quite well. It was a very nineties sentiment in some circles to push back against “political correctness.” IIRC Matt and Trey at one point had to explain to people in the early days that they weren’t conservatives, it was just that they felt that “liberals” tended to be easier to make fun of most of the time (particularly self-righteous celebrities).
