Where was she “arguing”? Did you misread her interaction as her trying to maintain her employment there?

If you genuinely believed that you were being let go for something that was completely fabricated, would you not confront them? Is there ever an appropriate time to speak up? For instance, if they also attributed the fruits of your labor to someone else, and then compared you to that other person to justify your termination, would you just remain silent?

I don’t see how having a backbone is self-destructive.

Yes, I would remain silent. "Backbone" in that situation means either collecting data for a possible lawsuit or else having the spine to know when you aren't wanted. Now, this video just makes her employment prospects bleaker.

There is no possible good that can come of complaining to a chair on which you have just stubbed your toe.
