Emily Wilson and Priya Patel: She Went Viral for Immigration + Culture… | DSH #1794

In this episode of Digital Social Hour, Emily and Priya join Sean live from AMFEST for an unfiltered conversation on culture, immigration, online backlash, and why conservative infighting may be doing more damage than the opposition. Emily and Priya break down what it’s like to go viral for controversial opinions, why “platform policing” and purity tests are fracturing the movement, and how hypocrisy around travel, culture, and political alignment fuels constant outrage online. They also explain why they refuse to leave California despite broken leadership—and why staying and fighting matters more than retreating to red states. This episode dives into assimilation vs identity, unity vs ego, and what it will actually take to win elections instead of tearing each other apart.
