I do recall them being unabashedly genocidal in Palestine though, so I’m not exactly in a rush to give them credit for less-than-the-bare-minimum.

Yep I saw that it had AI slop and immediately closed the window.

Frankly idgaf what an AI user has to say.

Yes, you can blame the GOP for defunding education as well.

(I have exactly zero love for the Zionazi-owned Dems either but I’m not aware of them ever defunding education)

I think you mean complicit. “Complacent” doesn’t make very much sense in that context.

It’s also a hollow edgy take, the likes of which would be expected from a shut-in teenager who doesn’t actually interact with people. Most Americans are exploited to the point of exhaustion, which is a little more complicated than just “they’re complicit”, and some Americans are putting in quite a lot of effort to improve the shithole country we’re from.

Have you ever had a warehouse job, or anywhere else where you can actually speak with the exploited masses? If so, did you speak to them? Have you ever spend time in real-world organizing spaces? Not talking about just going to a protest, I mean getting involved with the people in your community who you’re accusing of being complicit. (PSL doesn’t count.)

Just to be clear, your sole problem with Hasan is his net worth? lol.

“Class consciousness in leftist politics? lol.”

🤡

Says someone writing pages about it along with many lies.

lol what? That is entirely irrelevant to what you were responding to. Writing many pages has nothing to do with a cult of personality, wtf are you talking about?

Dishonesty requires being dishonest about something.

Incredible and elucidating point.

What is he being dishonest about?

His concern for the poor.

Cool so suppose he did that and was sufficiently poor for your liking would you have something to actually say about his views?

Yes.

You seem way more invested in hating than engaging with his ideas.

They aren’t his ideas lmao, he’s not exactly Marx or something. He parrots basic socialist rhetoric. I can engage with that just fine without ever having to waste my time on Hasan.

Yeah if you want to be pedantic he may not strictly fit the dictionary definition:

Someone who grifts is a thief, but of a particular sort: they illegally obtain money or property by means of cleverness or deceit, and do not usually resort to physical force or violence. A grifter might be a pickpocket, a crooked gambler, a scammer, or a con artist.

But generally language used in regular conversation, like this, is colloquial, not formal. And he firmly fits the colloquial use of the term, as described by urbandictionary:

A money-making operation that is either dishonest and takes advantage of people, or is simply a cause of annoyance or scorn to those who pay. Typically, a grift is a source of easy money to whoever runs it.

He is dishonest by pretending to align with socialist ideals while hoarding money, to the extent of buying oversized property in what is probably the 3rd or 4th most infamously-expensive place in the country. He could’ve donated that money to help the people he claims he wants to see helped.

He takes advantage of people by selling them the false image of him as a progressive / socialist, when in fact he only is to the extent that it benefits him.

It is a source of easy money to him.

He’s what you call a “champagne socialist”. I have no respect for such people and don’t think anyone else should either.

Besides that, there’s no healthy reason for you to be this invested in defending a streamer. Politics should not be a cult of personality if you actually want to achieve anything.

He’s a “”“socialist”“” living in a mansion in LA.

We may have different definitions of “substantiated”.

If he was poor and arguing for socialism he would be called jealous.

Not by me.

Now he’s rich and arguing for socialism and your criticism is…what exactly?

That he’s rich. And a grifter, which I already said.

I agree with everything you’re saying buuuuuuuuuuut also

the dude lives in a mansion in LA (which his excuse for was that he has a large family, someone better tell all the large families in my single-family suburban neighborhood that they should upsize ASAP) and plays down the importance of mutual aid. He’s a grifter and the left should be demanding better.

MeansTV is great and less braindead-Twitch-stream-formatted

You sure about that?
