Left-wing populist mysteriously morphs into actual fascist, a continuing series

My favorite details here include that someone who has the same name as the Romulan commander in that one Star Trek episode, who at one time claimed to have been born in the Gaza Strip but now says she’s really from Philadelphia (the jokes write themselves and yes I do want to see the long-form birth certificate), and who basically seems like a character from a super hacky political novel, turns out to be the latest walker of the same track that has proven so remunerative for Glenn Greenwald and Bari Weiss.

And if you’re wondering how this happens, I refer you to the philosopher Clyde Barrow’s supposed observation regarding the location of the abstract representations of economic value.
