In this episode, Simone & Malcolm dive into a viral video clip by Hazel Thayer, a leftist commentator, who argues that the left has lost the battle for the internet to right-wing influencers. They discuss the historical dominance of progressive voices online, the cultural shifts over the past decade, and the reasons behind the right's growing popularity on platforms like YouTube and Rumble.
