I'm aware of and support her current work and I agree that she's much smarter than her public persona would lead people to believe. However, she still comes from a place of unbelievable privilege and telling people to "stop being desperate" is incredibly tone deaf, IMO.

Two things can be true at the same time.

She’s a wealthy heiress yes, but her parents did use their wealth to send her to a teenage torture facility. As a survivor of a similar facility, the fact that she is speaking up about those hellholes and might help get them closed down makes her absolutely amazing.
