        What's disingenuous is pretending that a single picture of a random happy petty bourgeois is evidence that systemic problems don't exist, or evidence of anything at all, really.

        no locals have opined

        I'm gonna bet this isn't true at all. But like, what happens to rent prices in places like Bali when relatively wealthy westerners arrive is known. And I strongly doubt most Balinese want higher rents.

        this ain’t it, to me,

        Did you see the part where she's encouraging and trying to help people make this move, right now, despite the pandemic?

        I'll level with ya that her use of the phrase "elevate my lifestyle" sparks rage. Influencer-speak for "I wanted more luxurious housing and better insta backgrounds."

            She could have spent her money at local businesses in her home, she didn't have to go abroad to do that.

            and probably doesn’t deserve dragging the poor lib until she locks her Twitter.

            Once again, she is encouraging people to do what she did, during an active pandemic. And on top of that, she's selling her ebook about it; that entire Twitter thread serves as a long form ad.

            She absolutely deserves, at a minimum, to be dragged until she locks her Twitter.
