Even if you read it as the deepest possible dig, I'm not sure that "you rob banks to buy favour from the community, we rob the community to buy favour from banks" is quite the anti-SF burn that he imagined it was in his head.

It feels very "you millenial leftists may reflect upon your woke sky" in that it makes little sense if you think about it but presumably sounds good to people who just want to scream buzz words at their opponents.

95% of my political beliefs are formed when someone who I am already suspicious of tells me that something is bad and scary and I go look at it and it turns out that the thing they are telling me about is actually rad and good. A huge portion of the world is just not prepared for people to do a cursory fact check of their wild assertions.

This portion includes all of FFFGG.

They definitely rely on people not fact checking. News media espeically. People will read articles that a pro gov or anti opposition and believe it whole heartedly. Where if they just googled the journalist writing it they'd see they're married to a gov TD, or were an activist and member of the party during their youth.

For a second I thought this was related to the Leo discourse. Impressed how quickly the reddit mods got onto killing any discussion of it in the interests of personal privacy, when they've happily let threads prying into Mary Lou's private life with regards to her husband and how they bought their house.

Also I didn't like how the far-right were trying to exploit it as part of a gay panic, but it seemed like the people defending it were being a bit casually homophobic. "It's fine actually he's in an open relationship as is the custom of the gays".
