    She’s also been attacking Ms. Rachel. At this point she’s just a symbol for how most of Breadtube ended up.

        I haven’t seen this, but when you consider her infamous post about how sharing stories of the victims of Israel’s genocide doesn’t actually help anyone and only spreads antisemitism, I can imagine what she might have said about Ms. Rachel, who does share such stories.

          I think she’s self aware and made the choice of money and self-interest. She knows exactly what the left’s points are but she wanted to be mainstream and taken seriously as a figure in media rather than shunned off to the side by establishment media.

          The thing is that she cut her teeth creating a left wing audience and everyone fucking hates her for that turn which causes her a lot of emotional distress and affects her motivation to do anything. So she just sorta floats and does nothing now.

        I’d be surprised if she didn’t, that’s pretty standard for the modern popular ““influencer””

        She apparently has about 22k paying patreon members which means she’s making at least $44000 a month on patreon, almost certainly closer to double that, and that’s before considering any money she makes from actually doing stuff

    I won’t act like this is a “Contrapoints is finally done” thing but it’s helpful to have statements from her that have no conceivable interpretation except for something so foolish that even normal liberals would laugh at it.

      Sooooo many Iranian diaspora believed this. I don’t understand how you could trust them knowing anything about the history of your own family’s country and what the US and Britain have done there multiple times.

      I tried not to drag my own friends down when they were posting propaganda about freedom during the protests or right after the assassination of the Supreme leader by getting into an argument, but all I could do is shake my head to myself. This was so predictable that the US would escalate this into the destruction of the country. Aaaand now they’re aiming for civilian infrastructure.

        Makes sense if you consider that her “the West isn’t a thing” might come from a place closer to “I don’t see color” than from a principled “your notion of racial/cultural superiority is built on oppression and lies” position.

        Unfortunately a lot of people saw stuff like, “she has a Tabby character (uwu) and knows some leftist jargon” and neglected to notice that such things were just foils used to reinforce her liberalism and shit on leftism. And she kind of reinforced such misunderstandings by adopting an ambiguous and “philosophic” (5D chess philosophy) air that people bowed down to as lofty and intellectual (I am very mysterious!). Aesthetics with no clearly expressed principles is truly the modern breeding ground for see-what-you-want-and-defend-it-to-the-death online fandom.
