I’m so dumb I didn’t realize it until I listened to a few podcast episodes with Whitney. Highly recommend to anyone who is still unsure of what you’re saying.

Not necessarily dumb, probably just never really looked into XRP. I came across it before the SEC case, as part of my learning about crypto, and really all it takes is listening to what they're saying and selling. It's not like they're hiding or anything.
People don't like to hear it. Webb has been attacked pretty hard, even by Bitcoiners, because the possibility that she is right is a lot to reconcile.
I’ll say though, I think I understand where they come from - a lot of her messaging feels defeatist and does not offer any actionable solutions. Sorry but that’s how it comes across. The same with a few other people on here who seem to be shouting at Bitcoiners but don’t actually say what we can do about it. We do what we can by building. It’s what worked in the first place and really the only choice we have. I’m not connected and can’t pull any strings anywhere politically so I stick to what I know.
I don't think she has to be providing solutions just because she may be exposing a greater plan at work. It seems like people are conflating harsh realities with doom and gloom.
I can see it from the other perspective, and people should challenge everything they hear in a healthy discussion so we can filter out the bs. We have every right to question her as long as it's done in good faith. She is one of us as far as I'm concerned.
Building the world we want to see is absolutely one of the solutions, if not THE solution.
