He does seem rather biased towards the left-wing...
As for the commentary on the fighting, well, fighting and outrage is probably not going to in today's world going to get anyone anywhere; everyone's sick of it and grassroots coalitions no matter how large are nothing compared to conglomerate interests that submerge them. Be the change you want to see in the world, lead by example, rather than being incredibly outraged by the world. Because outrage is at heart an angry emotion and at some point that has to burn you out. You can only run on anger for so long and realistically speaking no mater how many of us get outraged it won't do anything in the era of corporatism. And maybe I'm being fatalistic but I'm just going to live my life and let others live theirs, and if enough people live that way then maybe that will change the world rather than being outraged about outrage, of all things.
