I started watching it the other day and was planning on finishing it at work.
From about 10 minutes in, here are some noteworthy things:
Wu points out how the Democrats are and the Left as a movement is completely out of touch with the podcast scene, pointing out that the Triggernometry guys have had plenty of major (and many actually in office) Right wing politicians come on their show, but not a single prominent Left wing one. She also places the first sign she knew Kamala was going to lose as when she refused to go on Rogan.
In relation to the above, she says it is because the Left is scared of having their ideals challenged and need going to start into the spaces where people actually are. Konstantin points out that this is because many of the prominent Left wing individuals are not being honest about what they believe and come off as inauthentic, which makes the podcast scene impossible for them to survive in.
She starts to talk about the Trans Movement and that the movement as a whole is largely delusional about the American people and their disinterest in actually changing. Specifically, that they dont seem to understand that the American people are extremely upset at the movement, and that their refusal to acknowledge the inappropriate books in schools and the attempts to trans the kids were only ever going to result in rage and condemnation.
However, I also watched her episode from when she was on Triggernometry the first time, and I will say this: She had a lot of "I am upset it is effecting me now" in terms of what she is complaining about the Progressive movement, and there is also a lot of "I hope you dont remember the things I did in Gamergate." She also still thinks that Gamergate was in the wrong from that video, by the by. You know, in case you thought she actually realized her principles were wrong.
On the one hand I'm not gonna purity spiral and police our own people's speech over inconsequential shit, like a l'oid.
On the other hand, if I can't see any obvious pragmatic motivation behind following their stupid delusional grammar, I do tend to assume someone is either unreliably naive or unreliably weak stomached.

That's a guy, buddy.

making fun of people for being wrong is not policing.
