First let me say Simone Giertz is great and her videos are awesome but she is just another person leading a campaign against a company based on her personal feelings and this is the highlight of the video, the power of outrage mobs.
I wish no ill will towards either of these people and respect their work but am critical of their tactics.
This video talks about David Hogg and others who used their followings to force changes to suit their personal politics or feelings. As this tactic becomes more prevalent we risk losing diversity of opinion and culture.
NOTE: Hogg and Giertz are high profile public figures and I am criticizing their very public actions

| 0:00.0 | We're currently in the midst of a controversy surrounding Laura Ingram and David Hogg. |
| 0:04.2 | I made a video about this yesterday, but if you haven't been following the news, |
| 0:07.4 | basically, Ingram tweeted that David Hogg was rejected from some colleges and that he was |
| 0:12.0 | whining about it. In response to the insult, David Hogg organized his nearly 700,000 Twitter |
