Not a single "breadtuber" is gonna call her out on it.

They've all been driven to Bluesky now, so I dunno if anyone here's gonna see if they do, anyway. I saw Big Joel reacted to it but in the most shitty milquetoast way imaginable, which is pretty par for the course with him, disappointingly.

Big Joel has historically been okay about Gaza, and has made posts attacking somewhat similar talking points (like "all countries do genocide" and things like that). I feel like his response might be distorted by their huge overlap in collaborators causing him potential professional issues by coming down hard on this, which itself would be a disgusting logic for not doing so but seems more explicable.

Edit: I looked up his reply and it was meh, but at least he raised good points, and basically called her both a liar and a tailist.

Edit 2: I made the mistake of reading the replies, where BJ comes off much worse than also contra fans and other lib zios are there being idiots.

What thread are you talking about? I found this one where BJ criticizes the most important part IMO, the notion that activism is useless because it doesn't align with what liberals already want.

I was talking about a thread from a few days ago where he is responding to a video from a hasbarist.
