This point has been made countless times, but there’s something about her lack of cynicism that really brings out cruelty in people who think they’re too smart for uncompromised principles.
The idea is basically that anyone on the side of Gaza is not in reality: all points we make are disqualified because we don’t “get it”, any action we take is roleplaying. The real world is complicated, so straightforward ethical stances are a sign of immaturity. It’s aggravating.
Its wild that they will write her off as naive for doing textbook non-violent civil disobedience. Its super clear from the pre-recorded video that she expected to be arrested. Yet because she's a young woman people seem to just assume she's an idiot.
This sort of thing has had incredible efficacy historically! You do something the public will see as completely innocent but that you know will cause your opponents to crack down on you, its Rosa Parks, its Gandhi, its tried and tested.
the only thing that annoys me about this whole thing have been the posts asking people to try and get Western countries to intervene to prevent them being arrested
when the whole venture seemed designed, at least to me, to end in them inevitably being arrested by Israel
I didn't think she's an idiot. I speculate her IQ is gifted.
I think her social disorder makes it very difficult for her to say no and push back or even identify users, she will rigidly conform to their expectations aka masking, and she's being used by progressive causes
Ah yes, autism, the condition that famously leads to rigid conformity and the following of social expectations. I guess she must not have any agency after all.
I saw someone (can’t remember who and I’m sorry if it was you) respond to arguments this conflict was complicated by saying the solutions are complicated but the morality is very simple. I think a lot of people use “it’s complicated” as a cover for a lack of morality
I disliked how neurotypical people were using her for political ends and thinking she will develop anorexia from the pressure which is common in high IQ mild ass female
I discovered she already had it as well as mutism
And ironically discovered I was an autistic female used for political ends
Wasn't doing that what brought the psycho robot Michael Knowles to our attention?
It's the exact inverse of what happened with Corey Lewandowski a year before, he managed to get more popular and not less and nobody in the media did jackshit to point out "hey he's kind of a dick."
Corey though, acted like an asshole on the air by showing no compassion towards the people the policies he was in favor of were targeting and was rightfully fired from the Trump Administration not long after, he pops up now and again but nowhere near to the extent Mr. Killer Robot Knowles has.

“Cosplaying” is also a wild criticism to make, given she was literally trying to bring aid into a war zone?

That’s a great way to do some algorithm weeding
