How situated a pedagogy of the oppressed within these discourses?

I want to reexamine the strange discursive moment of the Atlantic article in the style of Cormac McCarthy that described Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's ordeal to obtain his position earlier this year. The novelist Cormac McCarthy is of course very discursively present these days: he seems to get more famous with age. I want to look at it from another angle: the production of the discourse - the aims, the motivation - behind the text itself. 

Paolo Freire, the author of Pedagogy of the Oppressed, postulated that certain individuals located at a critical nexus of political experience could use their own lived experience as a basis for their own education, particularly in terms of acquiring literacy. 

Could we take a hopeful look at this singular article as naught but the concrete manifestation of the current politics of a pedagogy of the oppressed?

As we all struggle to make sense of climate change, and that on the farm, could it be that some sort of pedagogy of the oppressed has been activated and could be formulated out of our common desire just to understand what is going on in the world?
