I think 2 things are true here:

  1. The government and billionaire media are really nipping at her heels, trying to turn anything related to her into a scandal. See the recent "drug scandal" which turned out to be a nothingburger (she was carrying CBD).

  2. She has tankie-adjacent views, and quoting a guy who did a mass shooting in a civilian airport is in really poor taste. I can't defend it, "terrorism apologia" seems accurate here.

She added her own selected quote from Kozo Okamoto to the retweet: https://lemmy.world/comment/23021213

I think you're fooling yourself with that "just recounting history". If I tweet a Jordan Peterson quote next to a photo of him looking cool would you believe me if I said "oh I don't support him, I'm just quoting events that happened".
