Somebody give me some context for Josh Citronella. He seems like a fairly coherent leftist but he'll also talk to somebody like whatever her name is from Red Scare about wokeness going too far and I get a little bit of whiplash.

I've watched a few of these Doom Scroll interviews when I've gotten recommendations and I still don't really get what the point is. They just seem like very jagoff interviews with little to no substance. It just seems like yet another attempt to take dull, nebulous 'discussions' about Twitter bullshit (mostly by the same 30 people who all know each other) into a sort of more respectably-skinned, corporate op-ed coded industry for millennial podcasters.

Yeah it's interviews with a bunch of too-online people as if they don't already just type out every opinion they have right into the twitter app every day, I assume the citronella guy has no actual beliefs and is just trying to get some combination of clout and rich

I think it's worse than that. He has no actual beliefs and he's trying to be artsy about it.

Fuck, it's redscare but just the one guy and not the two cocaine ladies
