Choice quotes:
“I also fell in with feminism … initially drawn to the anti-violence aspects but always somewhat repelled by the girl-boss twist.”
…
I also thought of myself as “anti-capitalist”, until a wiser, older friend astutely pointed out that everything I complained about was better described as “globalism” and “corporatism”. I’m not opposed to hierarchies, or to competition. I don’t believe that all people are born equally smart, talented, and/or hardworking, but I dislike the incentives that push top-talent into careers I consider to be unethical or exploitative (e.g. investment banking).
…
I quickly became disillusioned by the socialist activists I met and by many of their political stances (e.g. abolish or defund the police).
…
It’s hard to pinpoint when exactly I gave up on the left. It might have been when my provincial NDP government tweeted that it was a “dangerous myth” that having adequate Vitamin D levels would protect against Covid. It might have been when I saw “leftists” and “socialists” celebrate the burning of Catholic churches. … I attended a socialist rally in a local park … and everyone except for me, my husband, and one Indigenous speaker were wearing masks. They praised China for their Covid policies and said Canada should be more like them. They served chips and other junk food. They vilified the police and landlords, without making distinctions between law-makers and the working people responsible for enforcing them, or between slumlords who owned multiple buildings and small-time landlords renting out their basements. They pushed for decriminalization and legalization of hard drugs such as cocaine, meth, and fentanyl…

…even in a more equal society, crimes likeremoved and murder would still occur and require police action. I said if anything the police needed more funding…

I’ve done a lot of reading and podcast-listening. I started engaging with content and content creators that mainstream liberals maligned as “right wing”, “conspiracy theorist”, evil in one way or another. I discovered that I quite liked Joe Rogan and many of his guests, and frequently agreed with him. Many of the people I’d been assured were “bad” actually seemed pretty reasonable,…
…
The totalitarian aspects of the “woke” movement became impossible to ignore.
Pregnancy and motherhood further changed me. I became more critical of mainstream feminism.
…
Race Realism:… there are average differences between different races and ethnicities and because of this racial parity in certain careers is not desirable. If medical doctors are disproportionately Indian and Jewish, that’s fine because I think what’s more important is we all get fairly good healthcare. If the majority of airline pilots are white men, I also think that’s a good thing because it’s in everyone’s interests that planes don’t crash. I also think that “white” people, in particular those from within the Hajnal line, are unique (note: not better), in particular that they are more “autistic” (for lack of a better word) on average than other populations
…
Jewish People: Yes, the Jewish advantage in general intelligence is clearly a real thing, and in a pure meritocracy, Jewish people will disproportionately be represented in “elite” professions. Jewish people seem to be unusually capable, and that means that individually they are capable of great good and great evil. Whatever path humanity turns toward, whether to light or darkness, I suspect it will largely be Jewish people who lead us there. (She has a Jewish husband)
What the fuck is she on about? The mainstream response? The mainstream response in much of America was not to give a fuck. Even the places that had more of a response didn’t have super strict lockdowns like China did during their Covid Zero policy. And where did more people die of Covid in that time, China or the US? This lady was never leftist.
Aparently she did multiple heroic doses of psychedelic shrooms which confirmed to herself her inner chud. Then her ayawasha ceremony gave her the confidence to be out and proud
I haven’t done psychedelics, and I heard they were mind expanding, but when chuds do them it seems to only deepen their chuddery and I start to see how the hippie gen went to fucking which always puzzled me.
I cannot comprehend the level of spiritual poverty that compels white middle income neofascists to travel to Guatemala to injest god knows what with a white “Shaman” named Trevor so they can shit and puke their guts out to try to feel something.

My take on shrooms is they turn off or impair the part of your brain that recognizes separation of abstract objects. Like you look at a duck, but the context of “duck” is suppressed in some way so what you’re seeing is an arrangment of colors and textures and shapes, and you’re seeing it sorta kinda like you’ve never seen a duck before and this is your vry first time encountering one.

They tilt the prism I say, showing you your life and self from different angles. Apparently, she saw nothing worth changing
Yeah, America did nothing but people remember a few weeks of non-quarantine as stalin 1986 gulag berlin wall horror.
She’s Canadian, I assume there wasn’t quite as much pushback as the States saw. Also, with their population density, there’s only like 3 places aren’t de-facto social distancing.
