Lately, Malala Yousafzai and Hillary Clinton have gained attention as they team up for the Broadway premiere of a musical they co-produced. As reported, the musical titled “Suffs” focuses on the history of women’s suffrage, dating back to the early 20th century.
This production serves as Malala’s Broadway debut. While the news initially appeared to be a significant accomplishment, many have expressed their concerns about the collaboration on social media platforms.
In a conversation with another user, they mentioned, “It’s quite intriguing that Malala Yousafzai is collaborating with the former Secretary of State who backed the CIA drone attacks in Northern Pakistan, causing numerous casualties and hindering education.
This same individual is currently supporting the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Malala has been rather silent on the devastation of the educational system in Gaza, with her limited comments being quite mild.
This user further expressed, “Celebrities often serve as carefully chosen activists by the elite. Their primary purpose is to provide a sense of engagement in doing good for those who benefit from the world’s vulnerable population. They can be relied upon not to challenge the oppressors in power.”
A single user effectively employed a powerful quote to convey their message. They shared, “You can criticize colonialism, imperialism, and various other ‘isms,’ but it’s challenging to denounce ‘dollarism.’
When they present dollars to you, your soul goes – Malcolm X.” Another individual commented, “It’s astonishing how the ‘opinion about Malala’ was once considered a significant benchmark, but it has significantly declined in importance.”
A disappointed user on the microblogging platform expressed, “I had defended Malala against those who criticized her for a long time, but now it seems she betrayed everyone. There is no going back from this action.
Her integrity has been compromised completely.” Another person wrote harshly, “Those who called her a sell-out in the past weren’t wrong, as collaborating with people responsible for the deaths of her own people is indeed a questionable decision.” Yet another individual commented, “What a despicable betrayal. How can she work with someone responsible for the killing of her own people?”
A user on the previous platform, similar to Twitter, quoted another well-known phrase. They said, “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
This individual, identifying as Pashtun, has been warning others for years about this figure’s inauthenticity and the reasons behind her disliked status in the region. It’s not because they don’t care about education, but because she is an American imperialist spokesperson, seeking personal glory and causing harm to their people through her actions. Another dissatisfied user shared this sentiment.
Primarily, the individual expresses empathy. They believe she’s not an independent entity and will never be. She’s part of a larger initiative, feeling confined and risking significant loss if she strays.
Additionally, she lacks a safe haven. A different user on the platform commented, “It’s incredibly disheartening to witness someone being reduced to a mere symbol by imperial feminists.” Yet another person chimed in, lamenting, “What a tragedy. She had so much potential, but chose a different path. All it brings is shame.”
In conclusion, an individual from group X remarked, “It’s satisfying to witness the unveiling of her true nature. Malala has been portrayed as a planted and controlled figure, merely expressing herself when prompted. It appears the excessive admiration surrounding her is gradually fading away.”
As the news spreads further, an increasing number of responses are being shared, demonstrating that a large proportion of Malala’s supporters and detractors are now in agreement.
