I’m not a fan of hers, but I do think she has a point here.
There was a significantly different response by progressives to the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram and the hostages taken by Hamas. When posters were put up of the kidnapped Israelis they were ripped down by the same kinds of people who tweeted #BringBackOurGirls.
I know there will be many downvotes to this comment, but I consider myself a progressive and am worried that progressives are losing sight of their values in favour of what is the prevailing groupthink online

She’s the worst. My brother got taken in by her podcast. After I sent him some critical coverage of her work, he was able to see the grift. Bari is insidious.

Reading it was quite the ride. She seems like quite the conflicted individual.

I think the conflict is performative. The conflict you get from her content is basic-removed apologia for views that need some sugar to swallow.

Yeah, she seems to insert herself into situations she shouldn’t for attention. I say seems because I did not dig into her work beyond Wikipedia
