Is 'microlooting' cool?

About this episode

The episode discusses the controversy surrounding a New York Times podcast on microlooting and the Left's shifting priorities.

In this bonus episode, Rob Henderson and I discussed a recent controversial New York Times podcast featuring Hasan Piker and Jia Tolentino speaking in defence of so-called 'microlooting' and other criminality. We spoke about the backlash to this episode and whether the Left is now pivoting away from peak-woke priorities like language policing and towards something more militant and more masculine.
