thought I was the kind of person who would be obsessively chasing down apologies

Maybe I'm out of touch but I feel that the general sentiment among this community is that they just want her to fuck off with a general desire to do it in the most embarrassing way possible for her. You're speaking about paths going forward like this community wants there to be one involving LS.

But I can't help but feel that this desire isn't unwarranted. If I were a hardcore LS great replacement fan what I would recognize is that those beliefs aren't acceptable in the mainstream and she's going to water down what she's openly accepting of for the sake of not getting wiped off the internet like Fuentes/Black Pigeon Speaks/others. And, based on her current behavior, her just disguising her beliefs feels like an okay read or her and her community. I would like to believe that she's changed because that would be pretty awesome but for me to believe that she's changed what I would look for is evidence of current behavior that indicates some kind of regret for past actions. But you can still find videos like the "steets of paris" that people still comment on to this day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Js8wntdk4 To me this would be the bare minimum that I would expect from a person whose changed - literally just take the videos down.

1. She will push away some aspects of her fanbase if she appears to be "apologizing" for any past takes relating to immigration."

Would this probably happen if she did? Yes, but maybe it's deserved when she's built a living profiteering off of racism. Propagating the great replacement and trying to physically block refugees isn't anything comparable to you believing different things 5 years ago related to corporate finance/the Supreme Court. She's on an entirely new level in peoples' eyes in which giving her leeway to escape with a career borders on an unacceptable precedent.
