I kind of think people are letting their hatred of LDB cloud their judgement here.
I think it would have to be so frustrating to be posting about this for years now, with so much hate thrown her way for it (literal articles have been published in national publications accusing her of antisemitism, amongst other harmful things), and now the tide has turned against the influencers who have ignored it up until now, they can throw up a post or two, without the hate she received. Instead they are praised because it’s the ‘trendy’ thing to do right now.
and it’s ignorant to pretend that she hasn’t done anything helpful for the cause.
all of the ways to help that influencers are now posting about have been shared many times by her before.
You say she should hound the politicians instead. She has. She’s encouraged others to do so this whole time. just her alone won’t do much but the power of having a platform means she can get many more people to do it.
and you may think a uni protest won’t do much, and it won’t if everyone believes that, but the more people who do it, and take part in other protests like that means it places the pressure on the people in power to change things.
we’re literally seeing it happen now where influencers and celebrities who have never said a thing about this now are because they were placed under threat of being blocked by many.
I get it if you don’t like her, I don’t think she’s a perfect person either or agree with everything else she posts (like using kids in ads).
but snarking about her for this feels so gross, especially when she’s clearly so authentic about it and not posting the bare minimum for a head pat, or to distract from the fact she rehomed a dog and got a new one in a very short space of time (I’m looking at you Kyree
).
