The entire thing is worth watching, but some of her concluding thoughts:

And the truth is [...] As with all modern famines and all genocides, what this boils down to right now is a very small group of people in positions of power needing to make different choices, basically needing to be different people, which won't happen. So the reality is there is not much we can do. But I do not want that to be mistaken for saying that we should not do what we can.

[...]

Second, I don't think constant international attention, the increasing international attention is doing nothing. The fact that focus has stayed on this issue in the news could make the difference in saving a lot of lives. In the words of one Holocaust survivor:

Today's marches are having a very hopeful aspect. It is so large, so persistent, so global, that eventually the Western leadership, which are trying to deny what is actually going on, will be forced to face up to it. And I think we are not far from that.

[...]

I am personally exhausted that the fact that this even is a controversy in the first place, that we here in the US are in the position of having to claw back rights that most of us took for granted our whole lives, but it must be done. We can't do everything, but we must do what we can.

    I think she's been releasing exclusively on Nebula; this is the first video in a while where she's released simultaneously on Nebula and YouTube. I don't think this was done as the start of a trend but because it is consistent with the deeper message of this video.

    Lindsay is a national treasure! Her videos are so well researched, sharply written, and delivered so perfectly

    I broke down when it showed that girl and talked about her reaction to waking up and seeing that her legs were missing. The video is amazing from start to finish, she's funny and included a ton of history that I didn't know about. It also gave me a new appreciation for Mr. Rogers as there were clips from him that I haven't seen before, what an absolute treasure
