She repeatedly states in her videos that she’s a liberal and then people get angry at her for being a fake leftist. I don’t agree with a small segment of her opinions, but it’s not as if she isn’t honest with her audience. I wish literally any other liberal had her level of ideological clarity.
She’s not as left as I’d personally like, but outside twitter she’s generally been exactly what I’d like centrists to be. I may not always agree with her ideas in videos, but they make me think and I can respect them.
Honestly I wish more of the left would look to her for an example of an effective propagandist. Her videos are entertaining and rather than being preachy she asks questions and tries to guide the audience through a path to the answer she found.
That and I like the fact she’s generally been open with when she’s changed her opinions or when she thought she’d been wrong about something.
I dislike on the internet when people have to be either perfect or discarded. I can disagree with some of what a public figure has said or done while still thinking they are — on the whole — worthy of admiration for what they have achieved.
Listen I’m already suspending disbelief a lot to hope the left actually try to convince people that we’re right instead of sticking our heads up our asses because we know we are, let me pretend that her beliefs could be in the center /s
I know Natalie gets a lot of shit but sharing Contrapoints videos has turned a number of my friends into J.K. bashing trans allies…which is nice.
Also, I know of one guy who was helped by her incel video.

I’m not sure she’s a centrist as much as a progressive liberal 😅
