She masks, as do all of her sycophant leftist cowards, to hide her true identity. It hides behind the mask, as her/their ideas hide behind the truth. All of panels of Mamdani and other Marxist mayoral candidate supporters wear the same mask for the exact same reason; they want props for projecting these historically failed ideas, but hide their true identity from the backlash that truth will certainly prove. Lorenz is a parasite, as are they all. They prey on the blood of attention, prominence and relative power. On the fringe of societal norms, they live and breathe on the attention social media provides. The bulk of America, still believes in the cultural foundations, upon which our country was formed. It is these people, in much superior numbers, who must step up and crush this carcinogenic growth, aimed at destroying America - the Marxist goal of which is to tear it all down, so they and theirs can rule the aftermath. This is the way of socialism, Marxism and Communism - history has proved it better than I can summarize it, here. A grounded support of centrist, America first policies will rule, despite the masked chanting. Relegate Lorenz and her Instagram ilk, to the annals of failure, where they all belong.
Very well put. I was tempted to write something similar; but filled with many vulgar epithets.
Ms. Lorenz is a societal leech of the highest order. She talks about people not wanting to be NPCs. Yet, she seems to be suffering from "Main Character Syndrome", in which she is somehow important and can change the shape of our nation.
===> Yet, she seems to be suffering from "Main Character Syndrome"
This is the perfect description of adults like Taylor who have never matured beyond the phase where they think the world revolves of them. Nothing new here.
We need to stop giving her any attention and let her fade into the background where she belongs.
Yeah, I've listened to similar dismissive framing for the last 40 years and they've only gotten more powerful. By dismissing it you're absolving yourself of the responsibility to have some agency and fight it.
the right is completely incoherent, the left is insane.... time to get the fuck out of dodge....
Yeah, I see your point, but I don't know anything that can be done to "fight" narcissists other than ignoring them. Rather than being dismissive, I think it's an active choice to ignore them. They work hard to get our attention and feed their narcissism, so it does take effort from us to ignore them.
Would love to know if you have a more effective strategy.
In fact… I do… but let me put it this way… it’s such a dense architecture it requires a book…. let me summarize…. the only way to survive the game is not to play… but that needs to scale in order to work, and I think that’s intuitively what you’re asking as well… you actually understand the problem, you understand the solution… it just presents its own problem set….
I was definitely thinking that as I typed the response to you. The problem is everyone has to ignore them to be effective, and inevitably there will be more than enough people who love watching train wrecks, or who actually agree with Taylor, that it feeds her need for attention.
So... the only thing I can personally do is my part to ignore her, which does have the added benefit of improving my sanity. :)
She’s not trying to hide her identity. She’s created a box that she can’t crawl out of. If she stops masking she looks foolish to her tribe, but if she continues flying the leftist face flag she appears mentally unstable to the rest of the country.
I don't know where you get the idea that the left is in broad support of masking. In general, leftists think that masking is weird. Only an extremely small subset of people on either side actually mask, and the ones who do almost always do it for health reasons that are unrelated to their politics. The most conservative and pro-Trump person I know is also one of the only people I know who masks.
The main reason you've come to associate leftists with masking is because people on the left wear medical masks while protesting, whereas people on the right wear balaclavas and neck gaiters while protesting. The left uses their masking for two purposes: to hide their faces and to reduce transmission of diseases in large crowds for those who are more susceptible to them. The right uses their masking only to hide their faces.
EDIT: And I suppose also because during the beginning of Covid, the left was better able to understand the mechanisms of airborne disease transmission than the right. But since Covid has fallen out of the public view, the reason the left is associated with masking is the reason I said above.
Lots of reasons for masking. some people actually have medical reasons. Interesting, but where I am from in San Francisco, it is sometimes an Asian cultural thing. Looking around students at a local HS, while most Asian students don't mask, a significant minority do. Definitely not a Left Right thing.
Yessir, kind of like cockroaches manage to survive virtually every attack. One day America will find a "cure" for this roach infestation. Maybe RFK Jr can work on that for America's future!
It’s she really as nuts as she appears or what she/they are actually doing is just trying for the rest of us to go crazy as a insane way of winning the ongoing civil war ? One thing is for sure I think: she/they want a civil war and, naturally, they want to win it. I dunno but the whole stuff smells disgusting, dangerous and scary.
Sooo, sooo far away. While I can see a reason why Rufo might interview her, she's so awful that I think giving her any attention is bad for society. Seriously, she is one of the original doxers. She's done real damage to people and Rufo didn't call her out on any of that. She deserves to be shunned, not given a spot-light. (The more I thought about it, the more I don't like this interview.)
AGREED ---Taylor Lorenz is mean at heart and also just plain evil. She does not deserve attention...and only got a small amount during the height of the woke insanity because she was so foolish. She is way past her expiration date and what we do with expired products should happen to her...go away.
When I saw that Chris interviewed Taylor Lorenz, I almost inhaled my coffee. Why on earth would he talk to HER? But then I read the interview and that was cathartic. Someone entered the den of the harem of Satan to ask questions and there wasn’t anything there anymore. She sounds lost, completely unmoored.
Chris, have you thought of looking into what happened to the overlords of BLM? I am hoping to see a federal case on where did the $95 mln go, should I give up the hope?
I appreciate Rufo's style, so it doesn't bother me. I think he asked good questions. I would've preferred a deeper sit-down with their views on culture. I didn't like her answer on how Luigi went from "high agency" to the murder. That's a fair question from a cultural standpoint because we are seeing a cultural move towards some of this tendency to murder. It's not on the edges, as Luigi proves, but it is something that's committed by an extreme minority of people. It's almost lone wolf stuff. I don't see it evolving, but I'm not sure exactly what's priming and what's holding it back. It's more like entertainment and seeing who actually does something even if people actually believe they're engaged in the same manner. It reminds me of crossing the line from idealism towards actually doing it. It's definitely a whole different ballgame, and I think the internet, along with naiive leftist psychology, sort of masks that.
Interesting that she seems to believe that if she says the wrong thing Trump can (and will) send her to El Salvador. TDS on display and she has no self awareness. Incredible!
I remain unimpressed by Taylor’s all-weekly philosophy. She’s certainly well-versed in the pop-psychology of the day and can return a serve but I fail to see how she differs from any garden-variety Brooklynite aging hipster intellectually. You should’ve ended on the next line of that Dylan song: “But the joke was on me, there was nobody even there to bluff…”
I found this interview insightful, if mostly for the view into the warped and twisted mind of an empty-headed so-called ’social-media journalist’. Like rats fleeing a sinking ship she turns on her brethren in a purity spiral, calling them fake. Her arguments mirror the line, ’true communism hs never been tried.’
Great article and exposure. She, like so many of the woke, is stuck in and on herself. Their lives are dead. They won't let the new majority give things a try their way. I bet it's miserable for someone who has a misguided ego to become meaningless.
I did NOT have Rufo interviewing Taylor Lorenz on the bingo card... Find it absolutely hysterical seeing her comment on all the OTHER grifters from the left, while she pushes out mind-numbing content with a plea for paid subscriptions. And now she's backing away from the true fringes of crazyland since it doesn't seem financially viable in the current environment. What a charlatan.
Taylor would (happily) ride the back of Woke again were it not a collapsed horse. Leftists who disavow this now simply show us they were willing to use it to hunt and ruin their enemies only to feign enlightenment and remorse now as it is being pummeled. Trust no Leftist. Don’t believe their Road to Damascus conversion to Marx-Christ as a class battle in their demand we memory hole everything they said and did for the last decade. Taylor doesn’t get to shape shift now. She owns Woke. Tie it around her neck forever.
She actually sounds intelligent. Good interview. Re: Healthcare in America: I have been without health insurance for nearly 2 years. My husband is on Medicare so, obviously, I'm not on his plan anymore. I've been retired for nearly 3 years and will turn 65 in October which means I'll finally have health insurance. Not once have I considered murdering a healthcare CEO to make a point,so let's not fall for THAT.
I firmly believe health insurance companies should be allowed to compete with each other which would lower premiums AND they should be allowed to cover the patrons for national coverage since we're a mobile society. Husband just got back from the Cleveland Clinic which is considered out of network for him even though it's only 3.5 hours away. We had to pay upfront and the insurance company is now mulling over how much they'll reimburse after being begged by the local doctor for the permission to even go.
Trump, Kennedy, and Oz need to get going on this. No universal healthcare. That'll break the country and lead to poor medical care, like in Britain. We need competition.

Good luck working on that something better!
Ms. Lorenz is a societal leech of the highest order.
Amen to that.
I loved your reply, in other words, they hate America, they are anti-Christian and miserable people.
And at the bottom of it all, is simply that no one ever even tries to seduce them. No one tries to duck them. Fugly
That is a very concise and well thought response…she IS an attention seeker
She’s not trying to hide her identity. She’s created a box that she can’t crawl out of. If she stops masking she looks foolish to her tribe, but if she continues flying the leftist face flag she appears mentally unstable to the rest of the country.

My observations have been the opposite of yours so I don’t know what’s up, maybe different regions of the country.

One gets the impression that her little heart would skip a beat if Trump was to be assassinated.
I think the mask 😷 is used to hide from truth—not to hide behind truth.
It’s she really as nuts as she appears or what she/they are actually doing is just trying for the rest of us to go crazy as a insane way of winning the ongoing civil war ? One thing is for sure I think: she/they want a civil war and, naturally, they want to win it. I dunno but the whole stuff smells disgusting, dangerous and scary.
Bravo! excellent comments.
Seven minutes I can never get back.
Taylor Lorenz exemplifies an NPC, driven by narcissism to seek attention, mistakenly believing people care about her opinions. They don't.
She is irrelevant. Make her go away. Far away.
Sooo, sooo far away. While I can see a reason why Rufo might interview her, she's so awful that I think giving her any attention is bad for society. Seriously, she is one of the original doxers. She's done real damage to people and Rufo didn't call her out on any of that. She deserves to be shunned, not given a spot-light. (The more I thought about it, the more I don't like this interview.)

Demonizing the white people didn't quite pan out, demonizing police was a flop, so she switched to the reliable boogeymen: corporations.
Well, it’s got to be somebody's fault!

@Cat- which is what a good journalist does
She deserves little to no attention - sophomoric

I view it as self-loathing.
Delusional and stupid.
Interesting that she seems to believe that if she says the wrong thing Trump can (and will) send her to El Salvador. TDS on display and she has no self awareness. Incredible!
I think she was aware and was pushing a narrative.
But I could be wrong, she could just be an idiot.
Or, she IS an idiot pushing a narrative...
Yes.
If only it were true. Unfortunately they only suffer from persecution complex, not real persecution
Still wearing a mask (matched to her jacket) in public is literally screaming “Look at me!!!”
Tres chic! The O so fashionable leaders of the oppressed.

Right? Her name should be at the top of the list.
100% Never serious, strictly performative.

Key word: “Sounds” intelligent.
@Nard- agreed. SOUNDS. Doesn't act.
Wow, I just hear Lenin in the 21st century.
Nothing matters as long as you bring down the government.
If there is an actual person inside that narracistic, sociopath body I'd be surprised...
Wearing a useless glitter mask as a coronavirus statement. I'm sure she just wants to play the political "gangsta".
She’s a dimestore version of Bari Weiss. Hasn’t quite made that transition yet but equally vapid and delusional. Grifting to re-grift.
Don't be an idiot.
This discussion of different worlds needed to happen. Millennials like Lorenz need to be questioned and exposed as they are usually hidden.
