Let's take that as true. Is it not then incumbent upon the person saying this to think about why so much of her audience would hate it, what that says about her own position, and how to incorporate this line of questioning into her future analysis? Especially someone who considers herself a public intellectual on some level? Between this and the "tankies are just palette-swapped capitalists who uncritically support anti-west factions out of nothing but sheer ontological contrariansim" take yesterday, the thing that irks me about her (and all libs) isn't that she's wrong, it's that she's so smug and self-satisfied in her ignorance, so content to just echo the same self-soothing myths liberals have always told about communists to assure themselves of the innate superiority of their own ideas and minds without having to go through the tedious formality of actually engaging with the ideas and minds of others.
she wants to frame it as a minefield topic that her audience would be overly critical of and exaggerate her positions. But lots of creators have made videos already. Shaun, for example, made a perfectly succinct video that garnered no controversy. the simplest question is what takes would she be compelled to include in her video that Shaun did not?
Well, No controversy from his community. the contrapoints subreddit on the other handhad some things to say
I find the "lmao u'lll get really mad so I won't say" shit really cowardly tbh. But then considering she believes that to say anything, she has to take two hours to do it, then maybe I can see why she can't be bothered.

yes, it's staggering how he was able to condense it down to a mere 87 minutes, but remember this was released only 4.5 months after October 7th, so he had less ground he needed to cover.
