So what's the deal with this lady? Because I follow her, not that closely, and her stuff seems pretty fine and good. But also I rarely see anyone, even on the left, sharing her stuff. Makes me worry I missed a memo and she's super transphobic or something.

It's because of her nuclear take of an article advocating for what's essentially a red-brown alliance: https://caityjohnstone.medium.com/lefties-need-to-stop-being-shy-about-working-with-the-anti-establishment-right-40c27a9dc98e

That's a hell-fucking-no around here.

EDIT: To add, there's been fallout resulting from the article in question. https://www.mintpressnews.com/opposing-views-controversy-caitlin-johnstone/230355/ Caused a few struggle sessions here I think
