Honest to god, how on earth did this woman work her way into anything? She really is a parasite.
I watch this and just cannot believe how incredibly trite and childish this phoney humanitarianism is. Empowering this. Inspiring that. Come back to us in 40 years (actually, please don’t) and tell us what your fake ass speech changed. Fucking nothing! That’s because that’s not your agenda. Your agenda Meghan Markle is this childish aspiration you have to be adored and be a martyr, with a few syrupy non comital words.
Another celebrity trope to tick off the list. What an absolute sham!
Also, footnote to this - I love Yankee Wally. I know she is a heavily flawed person. She’s as mad as a bag of frogs but inside this crazy cat lady is a fantastic insightful humorous woman, and I love her honesty and her haplessness. I also love the Welsh accent! Glad to hear she is back.
I think the "smart one" never understood inspirational people. She wants to be one of them, she thinks she should be one and is puzzled no one looks at her like that (except a handful of deranged internet personas). The thing is you have to have been extraordinary in some ways to be admired. You have to have shown courage, kindness. Lived through it. So you are admired by what you do, by who you are, not because of what you say. And this is a concept that the ILBW, who is used to cosplay, and rebrand, and project, can't simply understand.
I know she is not the most liked person in this forum, but I have met Jane Goodall, and I was fortunate to spend some days with her. And the extraordinary thing about her is how absolutely committed to her causes she is. You may not agree with those causes, but you will admire her integrity in regards to them: that is rare these days. In a Social Media Era, some people like to believe that appearances, words alone, smokes and mirrors, are facts. But they are not. And there is a very old saying that goes around something like this: you can fool someone for a long time but you can't fool a crowd for a long time. The ILBW tries to fool the world every day and she is (I hope) getting caught. And unless she mysteriously becomes the kind, giving, selfless person - which I just don't think possible without a lobotomy - she pretends to be, she will be just revealing herself at every public appearance.
