There's the both-sidesing.

There's the, "Oh deary, I guess we'll never know how anyone uses the term once people use it a bit differently, we won't ever know what they mean, will we now" incomprehension.

There's the "some call being at work on time white supremacy!" hyperbole.
It's just a whole bouquet of vapid hackery.
Anyone correct me if I missed something: Helen is still onside with #JamesLindsay's work. When she manages to use her liberalism soapbox to criticize him and his rapid descent into further bigotry, she may yet have a point again.

Helen lectures on systems of power and falls on her face.

You see, it's ridiculous that "critical social justice" or "the woke" believe that there are systems of power that are hard to see. That sounds like dew-pearled faerie webs, doesn't it. You say you see them? Really??? 1/
Balderdash, says Helen. Most people don't see such webs. Webs of power are therefore an ideological hallucination. There; done with that argument.

Now, as for racism more particularly. It does exist!, Helen assures. We'll know it when we see it is the implication, I suppose. 2/
When we see racism, springing like a predatory animal into the circle, we may recognize its bloodthirsty face, unsheath our individual swords, & individually slay it for the good of all. That's liberalism! Ra ra ra!

Or, slay it because you like slaying. You libertarian, you. 3/
