Much as I love to watch Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti dissecting the neoliberal elites as said elites fail to have answers for the problems they themselves caused, I must dissent from this interview conducted recently on Breaking Points:

For those who weren't here for the last two weeks, Mr. Universe is a character from the science fiction movie Serenity. It's from him that I get my name "Can't Stop the [Macedonian] Signal:"

This feeling has been present with me for a long time now. I've been trying to pinpoint it but can't really.

Perhaps two of the biggest examples have been the success of Chapo Trap House and the Jimmy Dore Show, both unapologetic, hilarious and radical shows (the former more dashingly radical than the latter) with tons of subscribers.
