Dude just loves riling himself up into a frenzy, doesn’t he? I guess he was mad that Hasan was going to interview Obama, which never even happened, and now he thinks Hasan is a “genocide supporter” because a random YouTube clip he came across that said “Hasan supports Kamala’s policies”, which he never even watched and was most likely just clipped. Hasan isn’t perfect, but fuck, you think at least him going to the DNC as a journalist would be considered fair from BE. Wild.

    lmao bro he’s just a streamer.

    tell that to his defenders here, because half the comments are about how he is the vanguard of the revolution and doing heckin praxis

    You want your cake and eat it too. Is Hassan a serious political subject? Then he is open for criticism for being a radlib DNC bootlicker. Is he just a silly streamer? Then why are people here making these dumbass arguments about how he is working towards communism with twitch characteristics?

      what vanguard? there’s no vanguard in the anglosphere. Communism has no foothold in America. 0.000% of Communism has been built here dubois-depressed

        tell that to the users in here talking about how much epic praxis he’s doing (including you, who say he’s a “pipeline”). If he’s a “pipeline” then where that pipeline is dumping people out to is open to criticism. I don’t see the point of moving people from one radlib camp to another, it’s just celebrity parasocial shit combined with all the identitarian flavors of ideology to feel special. It’s all radlib shit and it’s actually damaging to any forming left because you have a bunch of would-be leftists in here making zionist-adjacent arguments filled with credulity like “He was on the fence about Kamala”.

        Anybody who is “on the fence about Kamala” isn’t a Marxist or is lying. Anybody in here defending that shit is so attached to his dick they can’t think straight and are shrinking into a DNC progressive corncob

          he radicalized my brother, so I’m just speaking from experience. Let he (on the splinter site from their subreddit) who has never listened to Chapo Trap House throw the first stone emilie-shrug

            He has radicalized some people, which is GOOD but c’mon that doesn’t shield him from critique.

            Like, even my critique of him is after watching a ton of his clips about the DNC and Kamala and Gaza but that doesn’t make him impervious to critique.

            I’m not saying don’t watch him, or that he’s bad.

              100%. He’s not immune and he’s made some wack moves and has some wack views. I think some of the shit he did at the DNC and was unambiguously cringe, like the stuff with the PodJons. I think he did lend too much benefit-of-the-doubt to the Harris campaign, but has since course-corrected after her campaign was entirely disambiguated.

              I just think his presence and role is an overall positive for the American socialist movement in the state it is, and my anecdotal experience shows him successfully moving people outside of the confines of liberalism, so I’m willing to lend him an assumption of good faith at the very least due to that.

                Don’t bother with these nerds. Dickriding BadEmpanada is just a cringe as being a Hasan fan all these streamers can fuck off but if anyone is pretending someone is a vanguard it’s these chucklefucks defending their favorite ultraleft settler streamer expat living off the backs of folks in the global south.

                All these people desperately need to fucking touch grass.

              You’re the one defending a dipshit streamer that does nothing but sit in his gamer chair and punch left more than anything else these days while trying to cosplay as the most principled leftist in the room and actually doing zero praxis IRL. At least Hasan doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a pseudo-left himbo streamer.

              Stay in your fuckin lane.

                  You are literally doing that right now in this thread by endorsing his hypocritical comments about Hasan.

                  Both can get fucked but BE is objectively worse.

                    “endorsing his comments”

                    Lmao i’m just mocking Hasan for being a DNC shill. Just because some dumbass ultra also has that criticism doesn’t make it wrong.

                    So whenever an ultra and a radlib are squabbling we have to pick a side apparently? How about they both shut the fuck up? Is that not an option? I’m not the one who decided to make a thread white-knighting one of the sides and filled it with radlib users making credulous dipshit arguments like “Hasan was on the fence about Kamala”

      I don’t give a fuck about either of these people. It is you motherfuckers that have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with a dipshit settler streamer.
