Criticism of what?
She should post her address online for people to loot it. If she's against residential looting, and only in favor of its commercial version, then she should post the name of everyone in her family/friend list for the world to find out if any one of her relations owns a business, and, if positive, go and loot it. Then let her explain herself to the looted friend later on.
She should have some *skin in the game*. Simple as that.
Otherwise, she's a hypocrite. This is the criticism.

The time when intellectuals could just spread dumb ideas without suffering the consequences has to end. You favor China? Go and live in it. You favor guns? Send your kids to school (oh, most gun owners already do this - they have skin in the game). You are against global warming? Stop traveling by airplane (congratulations to Greta for doing this - she has skin in the game). You are in favor of strict sexual behavior? Then be strict in your sexual behavior. You like revolutions? Then go look for some third-world country that's suffering some crazy revolution right now, and go live in it. You write articles in favor of Vladimir Putin? Go live in Russia. You write articles in favor of Islam? Go live in Muslim countries. You are in favor of traditional architecture? Go live in Florence. You are in favor of modern architecture? Go live in Brasilia. You say smoking is good for your health? Then smoke. You say it's bad? Then don't. You wrote an entire book in praise of the act of looting? Then let yourself be looted or keep your mouth shut.

Skin in the game. It's simple. It's effective. It's moral.
