agree with the general direction of author's criticisms, like lack of class consciousness in leftist identity politics + hypocrisy of self-righteous SJW types hating on normal people but i feel like the most persuasive thing about the book is the humor & intensity of the authors writing, not necessarily the strength of her argument. i think the biggest problem for me is that she doesnt spend enough time defining what PMC is, it seems like she uses it as an umbrella term to refer to show more non-class-conscious left leaning ppl in general? but that seems to defeat the whole point of the book being a critique of PMC specifically. also another thing i didnt like is how hater-y this book felt, the hatred is deserved but i wish she proposed some actually actionable solutions to the PMC problem other than saying that everyone should just convert to socialism LOL. maybe this was all on purpose to maximize emotional impact of her argument given the page limit of the book but idk man.

unrelated but I saw someone online categorize her as the Tucker Carlson left and yeah that could not be more accurate. shes def a funny lady and this is a funny book.

Disappointed a little. Still trying to figure out the exact intentions and themes the author was trying to go for.
