elenapetkovski2440:
“It's so uncomfortable to admit that I seriously thought Mai was going into politics.
It doesn't occur to me that she speaks exactly like some politicians who I otherwise criticize for their populism.
Hit the bull’s eye […]“
pascalrockenstiehl6972:
“It’s awesome that this stunt really worked.”
Tobiaseins:
“Everyone who defended mailab’s statement should take a deep look inside themselves.
You fell for populism just because it came from a person you actually trust.
And props to everyone who immediately dismissed this as regular chatter.”
The bottom line is that their “experiment” was a success.
However, some people criticize that they used the “Statement” video as advertising for their ZDFneo show.
Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim uploaded the entire episode
to her “maiLab” channel under the title
“This is how we are being fooled by politics ”.
In it she addresses populism in general and shows how it can be recognized.
She also quotes, among other things, the wise words of Obi-Wan Kenobi:
“Only a Sith knows nothing but extremes.”
