He's got the usual braindead takes ("tax cuts for corporations bad!")
What's wrong with this take? All the corporations are woke. Wall Street backed Biden. Republicans funded their own opposition with their tax cuts, and they will do it again if given the chance.
The bad take is thinking you can somehow defeat things like mass immigration and the tranny movement by maximize the wealth of the people supporting those things.
"Corporations" don't pay taxes. Customers do. Every single "corporate tax" will ultimately be passed on to the customers. That's why it's braindead.
If you want to basically count "corporate" taxes as some sort of sin tax that you realize will paid by the customer, then I can at least debate the efficacy of that on a case-by-case basis. But "corporate tax cuts bad!" is nonsense.
GOP populism was always a gayop. That's why Trump's admin was full of people like Bolton and Barr. DeSantis will be no different. The only things either of them might do is pick at the margins by slowing down the tranny movement a bit, pro-life stuff, and blunting only the most aggressive and vitriolic anti-white stuff like CRT. Those are the chosen battlegrounds where the GOP is allowed to sometimes please their voterbase.
None of them are going to do anything to stop mass immigration (into the US that is, they will spare no expense of our tax money preserving Israel's Jewish majority). None of them are going to pose a significant, long term threat to "woke" corporations. They will all fall in line eventually despite their rhetoric on the campaign trail. Nothing will change until they have different donors.
The mistake people like Greenwald and people of that ilk (if you want to call it that) is thinking that the so-called populist are any different beyond their rhetorical appeals on the campaign trail.
Who'd have predicted that a gay Jewish communist would give the fairest, most even-handed look at Trump vs. DeSantis?
He's got the usual braindead takes ("tax cuts for corporations bad!") but at least presents the facts generally unmolested.

Folks on the right still haven't broken the corporatist spell.
They say don't bite the hand that feeds you, but even more absurd is feeding the hand that bites you.
It's the Reagan coalition. It needs to get fractured.
Not much of a coalition when two stools get everything and one gets nothing though.
That's why it needs to fracture. Conservatives will remain politically impotent until it does.

They can either increase prices, cut their "charitable" donations, or make less money then. Really, I hope they all just stop existing altogether.
Bro you're supposed to wait and let me call him a gay jewish communist in the comments like Im more based than you. Come on.
Good episode, but then again, I've enjoyed all of the System Update episodes so far.
Yeah, it's pushed its way onto my regular watchlist. He gets some pretty solid interviews too.
