Attempting to be very clever lampshading demand for her own opinions as demand for 'A ContraPoints Video'- 'you aren't asking me to use some of my influence to talk about the genocide, you're demanding my labour for an entertainment video, I am actually very enlightened to not make entertainment of this'
contrapoints strikes me as the kind of person who would say "free Palestine.... from Hamas 
"
When I am in a smugness competition and my enemy is Contrapoints 
the liberal has no beliefs. She believes in nothing other than aligning with what she perceives is the socially acceptable left-liberal position. It should have been obvious she no longer had a soul when she was willingly hanging out with Hillary Clinton. Contrapoints is not a person with beliefs other than she deserves an audience. She's an empty vessel, she's a husk who wants attention. She wants a personal mythology and adoring fans. Everything she says is run through a filter to calculate the best possible audience retention. This is a person for whom beliefs and internal conviction are not an avenue to change the world, but rather beliefs are a malleable problem to be solved by choosing the correct postures in order to gain some mythical mainstream appeal.
The liberal is someone who believes there is a correct position, not necessarily correct on its own merits or based upon personal experience, but instead it's correct by virtue of how much of an audience it can get. But it's not even properly calibrated, it's based on the perception of what a broad liberal audience may agree with. Like I'm reminded of how Chuck Schumer has an imaginary retired couple who lives in Long Island or something, and before he does anything, he considers what their opinion might be. Liberals have given themselves imaginary brain creatures who whisper in their ears on what to say and do, because they know if they only acted based on conviction, if they only said words based on their own beliefs, the only words out of their mouths would be "i want to be popular."
Oh god Chuck Schumer and the Bailey's. His fictional long island family.
You are so right about liberals believing in there being a "correct" position. Everytime I get woke scolded on Reddit for trying remain consistent with my ideology it's some liberal angry that my position would alienate a certain percentage of the potential audience or voter pool or whatever. Well or it's a conservative Nazis who literally just wants to punish everyone they feel deserves it; of course the liberals will defend their right to say that, curious they never defend me though.
Idealists always say that there's no reasonable path to destroying Israel through mass struggle and then in the same breath say the reasonable goal is actually transforming the genocidal colonial ethnostate into a pluralistic democracy as if that's more attainable.
Inevitably they always feel the same way about the dictatorship of the proletariat too.
Genuinely revolting to read, caping for genocide is fucking disgusting, and it wasn't even debatable pre-Oct 7th. We now see genocide happening in real time, and she capes for it. 
It seems people feel betrayed by her and her platforming of liberal Zionism, but Natalie has shown herself to be a liberal since the inception of her channel and rise to fame. Her presentation was interesting - perhaps deradicalizing - during the early/mid Trump administration in 2017-19, since fascist politics, aesthetics, and culture were brazenly becoming normalized by the likes of the New York Times, the internet, and media at large.
But her time has past, no? Sure she still makes a very lucrative existence but her celebrity is very niche and echo chamber-y of people who are unwilling to challenge society to begin with.
I suppose this post by Natalie is a useful anecdote of evidence for the examination of liberal fetishism of respectability politics.
Ultimately this appeals to those who are unwilling and incapable of doing anything helpful for Palestine; it seems her supporters aren't activists to begin with but passive consumers of the likes of r/neoliberal waiting to be pacified and reassured that the status quo of their privileged section of humanity is still extant.
'the dissolution of Israel as a Jewish state' i.e. universal suffrage
I aint reading all that but the subsection titles just make it sound like she's depressed.
Doom? Misery? Dread? Bitterness? The whole thing is organized around how she feels. And incidentally never even considers a Palestinian perspective or experience.
Came her just to comment, you gotta be out your mind if you expect people to read tiny text from an image like that. Poor form
Not content with genocide apologia, Contra says "fuck you" to the partially sighted.
I fucking hate liberals so much.
I get why she always seems to be drinking, I too would want to be unconscious of my soul if it was as dark as hers.
Jesus, scurrying to her redditor sycophants because if she posts this to twitter she'll be rightfully ripped apart is a level of cowardice even I never expected of her but here we are. We've discovered a new level of being washed up.
