Journalists Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal scour the internet for its craziest, silliest, most sociopathic content, part of an obsessive and ill-conceived attempt to extract kernels of meaning and humanity from a landscape of endless raging dumpster fires.

After Jesse regales Katie with a diner-based yarn so gripping it should be a big-budget action movie, Katie interviews Clementine Morrigan, who in addition to being an alleged member of a deranged sex cult is one of the smartest voices out there about cancel culture aka accountability culture aka antiracism aka sociopathy.

Episode 136: How The Left Can Fight Cancel Culture (With Clementine Morrigan)
Every time Katie or anyone else on here talks about being abandoned by friends it hurts my goddamn heart. Katie is a nice person who pretends to be mean and is constantly being treated like shit by mean people who pretend to be nice.
Anyone who tries to point to 'capitalism' as the cause of a problem or 'overthrowing capitalism' as a possible solution to any problem needs to point to the specific historical, non-capitalist society and time period they are envisioning in which this problem was better. This tic that the self-described 'true leftists' have is just so fucking stupid and lazy that it makes it nearly impossible for me to take anything else they say seriously. In this specific case she's claiming that capitalism 'makes people feel powerless'. What non-capitalist system that has ever existed gives more power and agency over their lives to ordinary people than Capitalism? She's also making a vague claim that things in our society are terrible while speaking from a country that has some of the best living standards of any society that has existed in human history.
