She cites a poem from Twitter about the confusion:If your Naomi be KleinYou’re doing just fineIf your Naomi be WolfOh, buddy, woooff.It’s an interesting and quite personal discussion about identity, branding, social media, how liberals get radicalised to the far-right*, and more far-reaching issues such as capitalism, anti-Semitism (both are Jewish), and autism (Klein has a neurodivergent son). I’d recommend it.*Klein’s equation is Narcissism + Social Media Addiction + Midlife Crisis + Public Shaming = Right-wing Meltdown. I think that could apply to many famous people who’ve walked the same path as Wolf.</blockquote>
