@spiritof6663 I think her nuanced positions are just over most peoples head. Thats the issue this thread has, a few of us understand what she said but evidently some didnt. They obviously dont understand the concept of playing devils advocate. Or they just didnt watch the video. :)

The latter. Shes doing whats known as playing devils advocate. She is merely stating the position of the advocate side and putting forth their best argument. People also call it "steel manning" as in the opposite of a straw man. If you pay attention you can tell she thinks it ridiculous but is careful to show that in what can only be fear. Fear of the backlash from the woketards. The problem with that tactic is that its what got us here.

Well shes really just playing devils advocate here, I thought she came off as thinking the idea is ridiculous. Shes not defending the idea, she is playing devils advocate. You could also call it "steel manning" the argument.
