  1.  @maddworld3317  I think she's high-functioning Asbergers, myself.

  2.  @leoniepipe6910  Yes. She's very authoritarian. But it's her channel, her echo chamber. She can do what she wants. And that's why she'll never grow beyond a relatively small following.

  3.  Ken Romero  It's a classic way of growing your grift: punch up.

  4. A true libertarian will NEVER win in a big way. It goes against their nature to chase after personal power like that, and a true libertarian won't make the moral compromises necessary to win a majority against people who will stop at nothing and stoop to anything. I subscribed to Borysenko's channel when she first started. She was against critical race theory and had done some research on it. She's no Jordan Peterson, but she knew from her training as a team building consultant that grievance politics was poison in the workplace. Speaking against it got her kicked out of her progressive knitting circle, and she did a deep dive on the subject, sharing her journey on social media. She picked up an encouraging number of followers, and tried to make it her career. i think in her core, she's still pretty indoctrinated in a leftoid way of thinking, arguing, and presenting herself. She strikes me as a progressive who doesn't like the stuff progressivism is putting out, but still thinks it's a matter of the wrong leaders than the wrong principles. I could be wrong. She's libertarian in some ways. Wants to make property tax voluntary (i.e. abolished) and get the government out of running the schools. But I have no idea how she feels about federal interventions in things like medicine, drugs, or agriculture. She SAYS she's trying hard to get up to speed on what libertarianism is, which is her way of saying she has no real clue. Once you embrace the non-force principle, everything after that is very simple, requiring little additional learning. All you need is the ability to reason from that one axiom. The fact that her first thought was not to block an asshole, but to try to get them BANNED for saying things she doesn't like, and the iron hand she shows in all her livestreams, suggests she's just another authoritarian grifting for power. Her whole thing about how she's "triggering" Styx seems torn from the Alinsky playbook. Her perception of "clankdom" just screams "I don't really understand this whole 'liberty' thing." I could never be a Kekistani, but I sure get a kick out of them or ignore them, by turns. Too bad she didn't study math. If she went for an MS or PhD in math, where the whole point is to eviscerate your peers at the chalkboard, she'd be more tolerant of people who think differently or challenge her. Anyway, I was an occasional Borysenko channel watcher, and this latest episode with Styx only confirms why I went there less and less frequently. Now, I may go back once or twice, over the next week or two, because the drama is mildly entertaining, I'm pretty much done with her. I'll always check in on Styx, every once in awhile, if I'm looking for an appropriately acerbic take on something that's REALLY stupid, depending on the news cycle.

  5. I think Borysenko's a progressive Democrat who got kicked out of her sewing circle, because she's against Critical Race Theory. She is/was some kind of team-building consultant who recognized CRT as toxic to the work environment. That made sense. But she tried to turn that into a career. She claims to be a libertarian, but doesn't ever talk about free-markets and limited government, that I know of. She's into the weeds on CRT, conspiracies, and trying to build a following. I liked some of her stuff on CRT, but she comes across as a Democrat who doesn't like CRT and wants pot legalized. It's not really clear - maybe because I don't follow, closely - what her actual policy positions are. When I tune in, it comes across as theater. She has her "nothing controversial" segment, where they do some new-age, hippie wu-wu mysticism, with her Chuckie sidekick. Anyway, just semi-following, it looks like she's really struggling to get views. She seems to get 20 or 30 attendees to her livestreams, and her videos are pretty much tanked. If she got any traction as an actual libertarian, she'd be SWAMPED by left-wing trolls. Making a big fuss about 1 troll, and trying to get them banned from the platform is NOT how an actual conservative or libertarian would respond. First of all, a real conservative or libertarian would have THOUSANDS of foul trolls and death threats. At worst, they'd block somebody toxic from their feed. What's maybe most annoying is her thumbnail, where she's always peering up at you over her glasses like a catfish on Tinder.
