I always viewed her as the girl who just cried and everyone said respect for that. I thought it was a bit dumb and cringe.

I'm glad to see her do things like this. It changed my mind. Respect to her.

You fell victim to a deliberate smear campaign designed to paint her in an uncharitable light. The neoliberal ghouls tried to use her image to greenwash their enterprise and she resisted. When she became aware of how she was being used she shifted strategies and the media dropped her like a sack of bricks and allowed the conservative smears to dominate the narrative about her. She was essentially radicalized by her experience trying to appeal to the powers that be and finding out first hand that they had no interest in correcting course. No corporate media would want her real story to become common knowledge.

I don’t believe so. I saw that in class, and she wasn’t portrayed in a wrong way. Most people had positive impressions about her. I just felt that she didn’t do anything this hard, and saw that she really was here for the cameras.

I’m glad to see she’s doing these kind of things now
