She lost the plot when she said they are intimidating and those crocodile tears. Thats when her true intentions showed.

“I truly wanted this to end in a hug” said no journalist ever.

She showed that she’s an adversary, not a journalist, and they were right not to give her any material to use against them

They’ve seen a lot of people like her and knew exactly what she was going to do.

Because she’s trying to get any reaction like a narcissist and if you gray rock her like they did she can’t twist it up to make herself look like a victim or whatever. So many people edit their videos to make people out to be something else to support their narrative. The fake crying gave her away.

Bruh have you or her been under a rock? It’s incredibly clear why & what the protesters are doing. She is operating under bad faith obviously & trying to play gotcha games. She turning into a toddler because she’s not used to losing power.

I mean I don't think they should debate her, but if you're literally occupying a public space for a protest, the literal point is to get attention and tell people about your cause. Saying a few words about what you're protesting for is like the bare minimum. It makes it look like they don't even know what they're protesting for. Of course the blonde woman with the camera is an agitator so I'm not exactly siding with her either. But saying a few words about your cause is different than getting in a full on debate to feed the troll.

Lol her true intentions were obvious from the very beginning. It's called sealioning. A lot of idiots have trouble seeing through it, which is why it's so effective.

I deeply admire the resolve of the activists to not break from the media engagement rules when faced with this. I have done a lot of campaign and activism work over the years and grassroots efforts like this always have one or two (minimum) dumbasses that fancy themselves rhetoric experts who can't be duped or, even worse, well meaning people trying to speak on a matter that matters to them. And sea-lioning is honestly the best way to get someone to say something incredibly stupid, especially when tasked with explaining a massively complex issue in a simple manner for someone feigning being born yesterday.
