I'm only a few minutes in but I already resent Weiss' NPR voice. Somewhat, it's an example of one of the points I know Thiel makes in the interview - the new left is surprisingly intolerant of individuation.

They are what they claim to hate in so many ways. It's absurd and also so human. And by that I mean not unusual.
The new left is as moralistic as the old conservative religious right. They are as hate fueled as they protray the MAGA movement. They hold so much bigotry toward working poor white people that are too dumb to vote Democrat.
I've suspected these things for years but they are now exposed for everyone to see.

Yep.
I recall a conversation I had with some politically vocal leftist people I know maybe 8 years ago. They were talking about how much racism there is. And then they proceeded to speak in massive generalities about people from the south. I mentioned that they sounded very bigoted to me. I pointed out that having lived in the west, mid-west, and south I've encountered bigotry and racism everywhere I've lived. But its hard to have any credibility on bigotry when you demonstrate it.
One cannot change their "race" but they also can't change where they are from. Racism is terrible but its only one form of hatred. An ugly one and one that is rightfully despised. Bigotry is far more acceptable as long as you pick the right group.

I still can't get over her spewing bullshit using 10 dollar words she doesn't know or understand on Rogan. Has she retracted her dog shit take on Tulsi yet?

We all knew this, didn’t we. Most of the people here are here because they are awake to their surroundings. If you did not understand the point of this video, exposing the NPR NPC and the whole communist cadre in our institutions, then I hope this was your red (or orange, if you prefer) pill. We just went down the rabbit hole.

No, not the new left, but I think of her as left of center. I’m not super familiar with her so even that might not be enough moderation.
