We study foreign cultures anthropologically but examine our own only through sociology—which has become 99% leftist propaganda. This means we're experiencing history's most rapid social changes with almost no honest intellectual analysis! This episode examines "Karens"—those entitled middle-aged women demanding managers—as symbols of a much larger, civilization-destroying trend. Like my previous deep-dives into "NPCs" and "incels," this seemingly silly internet meme actually reveals profound truths about Western society's decay.
