This comes after blatant science denial (this is a link to another one of Farina's videos because it can't be summarized by just one video of Sabine's), attributing academia to "communism" as a fear mongering tactic (her whole point on this was that academia is a form of planned economy or something), and making a video in support of capitalism.
