Here is the clue I've followed to identify the connection between irrational Karen and the Left.
1. The Left-AntiLeft conflict is basically the conflict between human's childhood and adulthood, similar to Thomas Sowell's Conflict of Visions: Unconstrained Vision versus Constrained Vision.
In one's childhood, he/she must be protected by some kind of guardian, aka, parents or legal custodian. That is to say, he/she must have the Unconstrained Vision to expect some kind of savior in his/her life.
In one's adulthood, this Unconstrained Vision becomes untrue. However, some people will keep their Unconstrained Vision for their entire lifetime. They refuse to grow up, at least psychologically. This kind of people becomes the Left.
2. Female is the gender bearing most responsibility in reproduction and offspring's childhood. Abundant biological evidence can prove this point.
Nevertheless, once the offspring grows into adulthood, mother's interference with the offspring becomes less positive, often impedes the offspring's psychological health, likely creates a giant baby with adult's physical apprearance but puerile mindset.
3. From 1 and 2, we can see some connections between femininity and the Left.
The keywords are: irrational; emotional; dependency on savior; fighting in the form of passive aggressiveness; mouthy but avoiding direct physical struggle.
Now we have a Karen figure.

Incredible video!
I would have a suggestion for a video about understanding countries that are unique in their respective region and do not necessary fit into their "Archetype". Some suggested countries/cultures would be: Romania (a latin island amidst a slavic sea), Hungary & Finland (Fino-Ugric countries that have survived Europe), Kazakhstan (and the other -stan countries), the Continental Asian South Eastern Countries (Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia) and the central american countries & caribbean.
I think a lot of these cultures are extremely underrated and there are plenty of people who would like to find more/find what the opinion of a knowledgeable American is.
Personally, I find the history of Central-Eastern Europe particularly interesting and underrated, especially when taking into account the richness of some of the cultures here (Czech, Romanian, Polish, Hungarian, Yugoslavian, Post Byzantine-Greek (not to be confused with Classical Greek))

When I was in Afghanistan in 2009, I asked some locals about mythical monsters. Vampires, werewolves, zombies, and dragons were all things that they had heard of. For context, this is in a place where some villages didn't know about the Soviet invasion, the Taliban, or the US invasion, until we showed up (probably about as expected as aliens) and asked how they were doing.
Anyways, I concluded that these myths have existed in nearly every culture, even the most closed-off ones.

Regarding your touching on the topic of demons and demonic possession, I wanted to quickly pause and comment a thought (so you may cover something similar in a couple of minutes after I finish my comment...). There is a line of thought that I've come across that we in the secular, industrialized world are W.I.E.R.D, or 'Westernized,' 'Industrial,' 'Educated,' 'Rich,' and 'Democratic.' These five characteristics separate us at a fundamental level from human history and from a great deal of the contemporary human population.
I have become convinced that us W.I.E.R.D.s have lost the ability to see the world as it truly is. One thing that I have found interesting is the existence and experience of demons and what I will call the "spiritual world." If you go to more primitive societies, it is not at all uncommon for local villagers to have mass demonic sightings. I remember reading a story of a Western journalist who was in Libya on assignment, and who was warned by locals to stay away from a certain mountain because it was "where the demons live." She ignored those warnings, went to that particular place, and her mental/emotional health steadily deteriorated; IIRC, she ended up going to a South American shaman for an exorcism, after which her well-being significantly improved.
At any rate, I'm convinced that there is something to the topic, and I think that we should consider it more. I was happy that you brought the topic up.
