Westin (he/they) and Easton (she/her) get into part 2 of our 4-part, “College Campuses Have a Vibes Problem," where they dive into recent Twitter main character Emma Camp's New York Times op ed, and the larger implications of the article.

In this episode we dive deeper into her sources, their bizarre anecdotes, and important details Ms. Camp left unsaid.

Threads include: lack of diversity among her friends- I mean sources, helping conservatives cope with triggers, accountability for one’s beliefs, the incoherence of major political labels in the US, the lack of real viewpoint diversity in the Democrat-Republican "spectrum," Captain Marvel as a dog whistle, outrage farming, debate fueling unnecessary polarization, more fuckery from the NYT, and much more vibes.

Plus, shorter rants about selective sympathy for war victims and the uselessness of the Democratic party.

Content warning for dehumanizing language directed against the liberation struggles for women, Black people, and the LGBTQIA+ community, and some gaslighting on top.
