Yeah this (along with Hasan’s reaction to it) changed my outlook a ton. I thought “Free Palestine” was a movement born out of compassion, but there’s not one iota of that here.
If you can do this to a gay Jewish man who’s already condemned Israel, you are not my political ally.
This was a real enlightening moment for me. I still think about it.
Any virtue this populist movement could have had, for freeing Palestine, for mobilizing the youth vote, for new allies to defeat maga...
that's not what this is anymore, if it ever was.
this is a hate movement.
Quietly powering off the woodchippers and wheeling them back inside…
It was really remarkable how quiet they can be when they put their minds to it, I’d never have guessed tbh
Whaaaaaaat??? You’re telling me the IDF ISN’T, in fact, a mob of genocidal baby killers? The largest left wing political streamer/campaign-ruiner on @Twitch, @hasanthehun, would have me believe otherwise!
I think it’s pretty sickening to use a child in this way, would you agree?
❗️ CHILDREN IN GAZA EXPLOITED: Footage shows a terrorist using a child to transfer weapons into a civilian home in central Gaza, using him as a human shield to transfer the weapons, in an attempt to prevent the IDF from striking & thwarting their transfer.
Upon identifying the presence of a child, the IDF refrained from carrying out any strikes against the terrorist.
The real problem is that Mehdi wrote a book talking about how great at debates he is, but he’s terrified to debate Steven
He can pretend that he has reviled his delicate moral sensibilities as an excuse, but we’ve seen Mehdi’s resumé of opponents and we all know that’s a lie
@mehdirhasan What if, instead of endlessly talking ABOUT Destiny, you embarrass him via debate just like you have so many others?
I used to consider you one of the left’s best debaters, so your refusal to actually hash out your disagreements with the man, AND ONLY him, is disappointing.
One of my least woke (maybe?) takes:
The hijab is a deeply misogynistic article of clothing, and I see women who wear them similar to how I see black Republicans
Already seeing people calling this genocide and I think some of you think of people more like zoo animals, where you want to observe a wide variety of different types, more than you think of them as human beings needlessly committed to a lifetime of difficulty.
I hope we can all acknowledge that the "I don't care about a leader's character as long as he's good on policy" experiment has been an abysmal failure.
Character must count. We've seen the consequences when it doesn't.
