It's really insidious too. She'll dress it up in decent (to my understanding) history of like, how the Chinese Communist Party easily won people over which makes you think "Maybe she isn't evil", then she shifts into propaganda.

I find him more interesting because she's at least able to come off as sort of smart while he's just so nakedlt stupid without the pretense of being an intellectual. I'm so curious about what his whole deal is.
I looked into him when these clips started circulating last year and he's a useful idiot for propaganda machines, he had AI investors and US government backed mouthpieces on to spread the benefits of a tech lead neoliberal society, while having basically no ideas of his own.
She's some sort of historian for the DoD or something like that. I suspect her getting pushed is some sort of DoD joint because she's popped up all over youtube and TikTok.
Listened to a talk from her recently where she said communism isn't very effective at improving the economy while talking about the USSR and China which is a blatantly absurd thing to say
Also someone asked her what causes many middle eastern countries like Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan to be in such instability and turmoil and she just said it was because of their weak economies before US intervention conveniently ignoring Iran
She she’s smart but also smart in the military academic community (teaches at a military academy), so that’s what you get as a result, very lib pilled..
Just a typical CIA psyop. average uneducated anti communist bullshit. her take on mao&lenin being gender equality champions was basically "they weren't actually equality believers they were just pragmatic" such absolute hogwash anticommunist shit
her argument was that since women were opressed they made natural revolutionaries because they had the most to gain from a revolution but like, plenty of revolutions happened without gender equality lol
I'm pretty sure I heard her say something mildly racist one time I saw her and it made me do a double take but I really can't remember what the fuck she says in any of her videos tbqh

Okay and? They got rights. Even if it was transactional, they got more rights than they had before!
