    I'm happy to say Cintra was one of the stepping stones in pulling Futher to the left and out of lib space.

    I can say with certainty that she works on other libs too, and I've used her to radicalise members of my mother's group (like, a group of mums who had kids at the same time I'm a part of) of all things.

    Does that mean I agree with everything she says? Hell no. Marx had some fucked up ideas about race, but I still encourage people to read him.

    I say this all the time about the left, but I think it bears repeating. Sometimes we get so caught up with being ideologically pure that we forget that stepping stones exist for a reason. The right does not have this problem.

    If you've got beef with contrapoints for her shitty NB stance, we should definitely say that; hell, say it to the people we link to her videos, but don't deny her role as an early part of a radicalizing force.
