"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Marxism-Leninism-Ms. Rachel Thought

[–] OrnluWolfjarl@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

who is she?

[–] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 2 months ago (4 children)

US content creator who makes content for little children. Her stuff would fit perfectly on TV but as far as I know it's all self-produced and published online instead of traditional networks. She also does in-person shows and other things.

She became prominent because she is vocal about her support for Palestine (though she doesn't always have the right take), at a cost in her personal life, and she has a big audience. Random news piece about her, should provide some preliminary details: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/04/ms-rachel-gaza-children

I think one reason she became this prominent is because she seems genuine and her content is appropriate for children, like I said the kind of stuff you'd find on public TV. But -- and this may come as a surprise to some -- I am not a toddler at this time so I've never really delved deeper.

Ms Rachel is pretty much a gold standard imo. I'm a parent who is very anal about screen time, don't forbid it but it's extremely curated and controlled, and because I enjoy researching I've consumed a lot of toddler content.

She comes to play, dawg. She beats out all the other toddler slop (even sesame street) because the vast majority of her catalogue is shit you should be doing, just recorded on a screen. She's educated and employing methods that, if you pay attention and pick up, will genuinely help your kid along. There's a dozen 'Ms X' channels out there and if they're worth anything at all it's because they're almost a 1:1 copy of Ms Rachel's content. The rest are slop. Cocomelon is slop. Paw Patrol is slop. Seriously, none of them compare to the actual value of an hour of Ms Rachel.

I say all this because my read of her has been that she's an extremely professional and ethical person. I was watching her with my kid before she came out about Gaza and while I was chuffed in a very parasocial way, I wasn't surprised at all. Dedicated children's educators always carry a huge amount of empathy as they must teach it.

She's filling a niche in the new media toddler landscape that almost everyone else has decided to exploit with pure brainrotting slop. Got me typing up paragraphs with no point just because I want to express her sheer basedness. If Ms Rachel has no fans then I'm dead.

[–] 201dberg@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago

Probably next time they need to seduce a billionaire.

But – and this may come as a surprise to some – I am not a toddler at this time so I’ve never really delved deeper.
