I know there are a lot of stupid people out there who believe a lot of crazy things and there are a lot who believe the Chinese are out to get us so I have no difficulty believing there are stupid people like that woman. But, I have seen so many videos of that sort, The "crazy neighbor" sort, that I strongly suspect they are all staged and looking for clicks.
The other half are not even people and they are made with AI.
At this rate I am going to have to go back to reading paper books.

To me once someone refers to a person as a Karen then that to means you have lost the argument. There are many that rage bait.

Not watched the video, but...
There is a reason why some makes of car that are not permitted to parked at various military and government locations in the UK.

The video does not use the word "Karen" but I think it is a descriptive and common adjective.
If the woman in the video was real, which I doubt, I would definitely describe her as a Karen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_(slang)
Karen is a pejorative slang term typically used to refer to a middle class woman who is perceived as entitled or excessively demanding. The term is often portrayed in memes depicting middle-class white women who use their white and class privilege to demand their own way. Depictions include demanding to "speak to the manager", being racist, or wearing a particular bob cut hairstyle. It was popularized in the aftermath of the Central Park birdwatching incident in 2020, when a woman called the police during a disagreement over the requirement for her dog to be leashed in an area of the park.
The term has been criticized by some as racist, sexist, ageist, classist, and controlling women's behavior. The term has occasionally been applied to male behavior.
During 2020, the term increasingly appeared in media and social media, including during the COVID-19 pandemic and George Floyd protests. The Guardian called 2020 "the year of Karen".
