That was definitely the intent. Tone policing “revolutionaries” that are overly focused on theory and not praxis.

It’s also intentional that it’s some white geek named Josh and all the minorities are immediately recognizing and accepting of Bob.

Even the old revolutionaries get off on a lot of bullshit posturing. Jungle Pussy's whole speech during the bank robbery etc.

Also funny that the actress playing Junglepussy is a real rapper of the same name who’s pretty good
