Is the video available not through a proprietary player? > After this the book was pulped and she had some sort of psychotic break during COVID and allied with ultra-right and COVID denialist loonies. That's quite an extreme shift considering she had previously been a leading figure in third-wave feminism and an OWS activist.

The other Naomi, Naomi Klein, wrote an entire book that uses Wolf's "transformation" as a structural scaffold to explore the rise of the new right/MAGA etc. etc. It's called "Doppelganger".

Some people are just contrarians who want their ideas to be the most outlandish. This is a real problem if you're one of the people involved in something like OWS who wants to see effective change, not just making a circus about yourself.

Why? She went from crazy (that you sympathize with) to crazy (that you don't sympathize with). She was always crazy.

  I think the crazy magnitude increased massively. If you subscribe to the horseshoe model, the change in bearing wasn't that large.

    You underestimate the craziness of Occupy Wall Street and other leftist causes. Laura Loomer is another crazy person who went from extremely crazy to just... untrustworthy but not totally crazy on Ukraine. I still think she is crazy underneath, though.
