      Does she been even consider herself a leftist still? She’s been criticizing them for so long I think she’d be happy with being called a liberal at this point.

        One good thing resulting from Oct 7 has been all these annoying libs who were calling themselves “leftists” have run away from the label once it became clear the left stands with, and has always stood with, Palestine against the forces of imperialism. Whatever form that might take.

    Any “leftist” that points to the fact that “we have accomplished nothing” in regards to this issue is not using Marxism or Dialectical Materialism. Its a perfect example of a rapid qualitative change (the inevitable end of western/us support for the Zionist entity and its subsequent collapse) precedes by less perceptible quantitative changes (the general attitude of the people to Israel). Its impossible to deny how successful the pro Palestine movement has been at winning the hearts and minds of the people since oct 7.

    Also, she acts like “the left” is spreading pictures/videos of the genocide. These are created and released by palestinians and their virality isn’t because of “leftists”

    But ultimately she shows that she values the lives of Israelis and Zionists way more than palestinians

      It’s to the point where even CNN can’t deny the change in attitudes and their pundits are freaking the fuck out Benazir of that lol.

      You’d have to live under a rock to not see the difference in attitudes to the conflict since before October 7, 2023. And changes in attitudes lead to people joining organizations and doing things, like the giant charities Noah Samsen or Hasan has done, the flotilla that headed to Gaza, Palestine Action’s activities, Mamdani winning the primary, Zionist propaganda no longer being effective. It goes on.

      She expects a Kardashian to hand an IOF soldier a pepsi and it ends the genocide

    Why is everyone surprised that a YouTuber literally named after the Nicaraguan Contras [citation needed] is going to be reactionary? If she was called SandinistaPoints these takes would be surprising.
