UPDATED: See more at the end.

Sure, “crazy” and “stupid” are obvious. But I’m thinking more along the lines of “vapid.” There’s something about the woman’s voice here that I find to be *really* grating. Not just the insane worldview on display, but just the voice itself, the speaking style that seems… I dunno. Like, omigawd, old-school Valley Girl but with a dash of stoner thrown in, so that her *voice* sound… what? Lazy? How to describe it?

Take a look at the video after the break and despair.

UPDATES:

This was apparently the original upload:

Additionally, along with being outright amusing this incident is proving to be a Teachable Moment. In particular, it’s teaching that the proper response to a bully is to *not* give in to them. *Do* *not* apologize to them or appease them in any way, just kick them out of your car. For those who deal with the public, another lesson is to record everything. it turns out that the Social Justice Warrior here actually got the driver fired from Lyft… until Lyft actually took a look at the video that apparently *she* sent them. She was delusional enough to think that *she* came off well in the video.

That Lyft Driver Showed Us How Every Business Should Respond to SJW Bullies

While nowhere to this scale, I have had more than a few people send me nastygrams that they weren’t going to buy my products or sign on to my Patreon or whatever else because of the horrible, nasty, no-good opinions I have. I’ve generally replied with something akin to “well… bye.” You can’t make these people happy. There is not only no point in trying, you will only harm yourself if you try.

On the other hand, it’s also a potentially important moment in social media history. Videos on YouTube of people criticizing the SJW at the heart of this have been “demonetized,” leading many to conclude that YouTube is beginning a clampdown on opinions that YouTube deems politically incorrect.
