Ignorant nonsense. As state counselor, she presided over the Rohingya ethnic cleansing from 2015 until she was ousted in 2021. She literally defended the Burmese military in the International Court of Justice in 2019. She went out of her way to cover up human rights abuses. Tons of human rights NGOs and institutions have rescinded their earlier praise for her.
She's a sanctimonious, nepotistic figurehead. I understand why people want to believe in her, and her activism before her Peace Prize was admirable. But she's been utterly corrupted by political game-playing. Burma can do better.

Her father was basically the George Washington/Simon Bolivar of Burma, and founder of the Army. She might have leveraged her immense family prestige to pressure the Army into ending the genocide of the Rohingya. But instead, she showed great cowardice by essentially endorsing their campaign of ethnic cleansing and murder.

Hey, I don't spend my days posting anti-junta war porn, as you do. But what did I say that is inaccurate? Did she oppose the anti-Muslim violence? Or did she deny that Muslims are even Burmese citizens? Have many human rights orgs turned against her? Why?
I get it, you want Reddit to rally behind your figurehead "freedom fighter." But she's a bigoted, self-righteous ally of genocide. Like Kissinger and Obama, another undeserving Peace Prize laureate.
