As much as I understand where her concerns come from, she’s also an idiot with a powerful habit of overly long and intellectualized responses that only make things worse for herself. The entire way she frames things is “I support everything you want me to, but…” which is a losing way to structure a response to people being frustrated with her. She can’t help herself and simply say “I donated to a and b, here’s a shout-out, this is horrible, but I also make .75 videos a year max and have something else I’m focusing on.”
I think she likes making trouble and is a prickly person in general. She recognizes that antisemite muslims can potentially abuse leftist anger at Israel, but expects her defeatist attitude to be an effective way to convince people. She just wants to be able to say “I told you so” when some anti Israeli conservatives who hung out with the left do something bad, not get leftists on her side right now.
Haven’t watched contrapoints in a long time, but I used to like the channel for the most part. What are the stupid takes you speak of?
She made a big long post about Palestine a week or so ago
Seems pretty well reasoned out to me. Much more realpolitik than idealism
ooh new words to describe these topics thanks i will be looking into this!

A week? It more than a month ago.
