Are they crazy? Or are they just leftist? With some women, it’s hard to tell.
By Andrea Widburg
There was a video that made the rounds a few days ago, and I can’t get it out of my mind. In some ways, it’s a garden-variety video of a crazy lady. What makes it memorable is that it’s being framed as the quintessential “leftist Karen.” That raises an interesting question: Does leftism make women crazy, or are crazy women drawn to leftism? The question sounds simple, but it actually has serious implications for American society.
The video shows a woman chasing after a man because he violated her standards by having a purebred dog, from which she inferred that he left some unnamed, unknown, unloved mutt to die in an animal shelter. The video is long but mesmerizing because the woman is indeed the living embodiment of those women who compulsively impose their extreme and self-righteous values on everyone—and they’re almost invariably white women who have a college-educated vibe:

Her monomania aligns with leftist values, but I felt there was something deeply wrong here: she’s paranoid, delusional, deeply inappropriate, aggressive, etc. She doesn’t look as if she’s on drugs, so the problem seems to be organic. She is both scary, because of her aggression, and pathetic, because of her illness.
