I see that there are people who are just now discovering that Matt Taibbi got the brain worms after people read some of the astonishingly sexist crap in his memoir (worst case scenario, he admits to being a rapist and serial harasser of his female employees, best case scenario he thought that admitting to being a rapist and serial harasser of his female employees was a funny joke that is appropriate to put in your memoir) who now believes that the greatest threat to humanity is "wokeness."
I realized Taibbi had brain worms when he appeared with Chris Hedges on the flagship show of RT America.
I was willing to entertain the idea that his memoir was quoted out of context and all that (especially if the story was broken by an alt-right troll as [this article](https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/matt-taibbi/the-destruction-of-matt-taibbi/) claims) but appearing on Russia Today, on its flagship show, with a guy on Putin's payroll is a **big** red flag.
@evacide For reference, here's a post on that meeting of the "minds" in question.
