@KoneToivonen@socialistadri@DevilsAdvocateC@OGBlackRedGuard Can you answer one question. Why is it acceptable for Platner to boast about and derive enjoyment from being a mercenary and killing afghanis and iraqis but it’s instantly bad when he rapes an american woman? I think both are bad and voters should’ve looked for someone else quick
Not to mention how impossible that standard is, he basically stated all matters of conversation are completely useless. Only valuing scientific conversations is also an opinion, but nevermind that ig. Guy is nuts
Just had the most annoying coworker convo of all time. He refused to answer any opinion based questions bcs “what value do they have if we’re not working to arrive to prove reality?” Literally just thinks no opinion has value, everything needs to be factual science. Holy reddit!
The american left will keep losing until they truly believe non-americans, especially people of the global south, are actually human beings and not just a entities you feign solidarity to when politically advantageous.
“wow jameel how did you correctly assess graham platner so early on?”
well you see, i think iraqis and afghans are real people who are deserving of humanity. not background characters for psychotic american teenagers looking for guilt free murder. but hey, that’s me.
Graham Platner represents the final split between zionist, American chauvinists and legitimate anti-imperialists. Finally. Let the chauvinists laugh themselves into obscurity.
Hasan Piker laughs at a chatter asking him to have solidarity with the Global South and to stop endorsing Blackwater child killers.
Hasan’s chat proceeds to mock the chatter’s desperate plea.
This is the American left. Chauvinism, supremacism, no different than Israelis.
@Annie_Wu_22 If being raped is bad, imagine having your nation invaded, your neighbors and your family murdered by some mercenary who does it with a smile on his face. You should’ve changed your mind months ago. Reap what you sow.
@zei_squirrel Hasan said that since Americans don’t care about Blackwater and U.S. marines raping foreigners then he also didnt feel like it was disqualifying and so he continue to be “team Platner”
can someone who supported Graham Platner, like Hasan, explain why him mass murdering and raping Iraqis and Afghans as a volunteer rape-soldier and Blackwater mercenary was totally fine and forgivable and we have to now accept him as a Good Person because that's the really "leftist" and moral thing to do, but him raping an American woman is beyond the pale and he has to drop out we can't ever accept this?
What standard are you using to evaluate politics aside from "the US media and political class doesn't give a shit about him mass murdering and raping brown people abroad so we also shouldn't care and just forgive him because having basic principles doesn't matter, but OMG HE RAPED A WHITE AMERICAN WOMAN?!?! NO THATS HEADLINE NEWS HE HAS TO DROP OUT NOW EVEN IF HE ACKNOWLEDGES IT AND BEGS FORGIVENESS A MILLION TIMES".
That is the standard isn't it. And that is why everyone outside your depraved clique despises you, because you will defend anything as long as you think it advances your cunt pseudo-radical soc dem treatlerite politics.
@lachancenaomi27 The boasting about murdering iraqis didn’t give him away? Do some introspection on what you’re willing to excuse for your own benefit.
American leftists should be completely ashamed. Absolutely fucking idiots. Do not act like victims when you’re part of the problem. The ship is going down and you’re as much at fault as your enemies. Learn from your mistakes or drown alongside them.
@neoliberal_hack He is genuinely a good communicator and was the only viable progressive choice in the primary, so I very much *wanted* to believe that it was possible for him to have an arc of genuine redemption and be a successful, reformed candidate, but clearly that was copium. Egg on my face
@Mike_from_PA@hecubian_devil Going on multiple tours in iraq as a mercenary to murder with a smile in his face didn’t give that away? Are you mentally handicapped?
Platner is a perfect encapsulation of the chauvinism of the American Left, where signing up to personally kill brown people abroad (multiple times) is far less disqualifying than rape at home, which to be clear is also absolutely disqualifying.
