I assume Wire isn't too interested in compressing his thoughts into 140 characters, which seems to be the limit of people's attention span these days, unfortunately.
Who knows, if he had a chance to talk about politics throughly and on a proper platform he might do it, but why bother now as "no-one" will read it anyway. And in the end all that would be left of it are those damn 140 characters as someone quotes him (probably out of context) and everything ends up being confusing and for nothing. People would go on accusing him of being a "champagne socialist" - after all he's made a proper living and therefore isn't allowed to comment on social issues anymore. The rich bitch. So yeah, why bother saying anything when in general people aren't interested in listening / reading anyway.
These days everything has to be fast, simple and easily digestible, fit for the rapidness of social media. That, in my humble opinion, doesn't really go hand in hand with interesting political statements.
