Psychological Operative of the Day: Nick Eberstadt
This guy is so obnoxious lol He sounds erudite and intellectual, but if you pay attention to what he's saying, it's hogwash. It doesn't stand up to scrutiny. His whole beef is with "men not working" just "sitting on their ass and playing video games and smoking weed" when they should be working because it's "good for society".
But the thing is, everyone knows why these men aren't working. The jobs they can get aren't worth it. They're literally better off sitting at home than slaving for making minimum-wage. But he'll never acknowledge that, or if he does, he'll say it's "not real" without any evidence.
He gets interviewed by big names like Mike Rowe and they never question him, as though he paid them to be on their show.
This is what leads me to believe that he's an operative, shaping the public narrative, telling people that the economy is fine, and using the scapegoat of "unemployed lazy men".
