Hasan explains why it's different when he calls others p-dos vs when he's called one and denies ever d-xing his critics
"I've never done that (d-x)..these guys just make it seem like I just made up these f'n claims..this speculation comes from his own actions..for example..there was a false claim made by another of Destiny's orbiters that I had hooked up with an und-rage girl, complete bs, she literally admitted that...if someone were to knowingly advance this claim..knowing full well..this is a false statement, that would open them up to litigation..that would be a clear cut malicious with intent to defame defamation case"

"Are they just like rats trying to get the opportunity..the chair people, all they care about is the company success..guy's successful, who cares if he cheats..how does that affect the company? Nobody gives a sh*t"
Hasan asks his detractors why so many respected content creators and people in general think he's awesome and knowledgeable and points to Ezra Klein recently glazing him over Israel
Also rejects the idea that Twitch and Dan Clancy love him or that he controls the platform
"I had a long and extensive conversation with Ezra Klein about Israel..in the aftermath..he was like you know what's always impressive about you is that, you scratch the surface of clips that people see of you..and he has done this, part of the reason why wrote that article initially about how I wasn't an antisemite..and he's like, we might have certain disagreements on the issue but it's very clear that you approach it from a deep understanding of Israeli history"
"It is phenomenal how much the apolitical sloptuber community that is objectively not very knowledgeable on this issue or anything else have decided on their own, in their echo chamber, hug box..that I am somehow not exactly knowledgeable on the issues that I speak on even though I interview subject matter experts all the time, academics, activists, investigative reporters, politicians..they legitimately just see hundreds of thousands different people tuning in every hour..and they're all just like, omg this guy's so hot, but he's a f'n idiot..the laziest critique of all time”
“These people have not even remotely demonstrated a little bit of intellectual curiosity to try to comprehend why so many of these people actually find this to be a fairly reliable platform for truthful analysis..not a single person is confused as to why..some other beloved content creators that they like will actively say like ya, this guy's actually awesome"
"The idea that I control Twitch..totally ridiculous..the idea that Dan, the CEO, is in love with me or I'm blackmailing him and the entire trust and safety team is under my command..even though I have never, weirdly enough, been able to ban Asmongold who violates ToS with regular frequency in the most heinous ways possible"
TheBurntPeanut almost found himself in another "streamer privilege" situation with Rob Run
"I got in contact with the Rob Run people, so we can just ban cheaters at will..no DLCs, no please God no skins"
Hasan accidentally mixes up Hakeem Jeffries/Obama and Nithya Raman/Neera Tanden
"God d*mnit you guys duped me..I guess it was unclear..give me a break..someone in the chat said it was Obama and I went with it..it's so teetering on the edge bc of the way it's drawn"
"Nithya Raman can chirp all day..make it seem like Democrats are gonna be in disarray..Did I say Nithya? Sorry I meant Neera Tanden..we were just talking about my new mayor..I apologize, but ya you got Beera Tanden over here, Beera Xanden chirping"

Destiny takes credit for doing more to help get Abdul El-Sayed elected than Hasan
"The primaries were over, all you guys were gone. We did more to get Abdul El Sayed elected than you mf, you showed up for a photo op, and then you were a thorn in the side the entire f'n time"
Asmongold explains the big issue Democrats are running into
"Big problem a lot of these leftists and Democrats have is it's reactionary to Donald Trump..it's like criticizing and complaining and then getting angry about Trump..he's gonna be out of office and politics in 2 years..this is what happened with Obama, the Republicans entire identity was built around being oppositional to Obama..rather than creating or doing anything that was new..think that's why it was so easy for Trump to take over the Republican Party bc Trump had forward thinking ideas that were not just simply, let's do the opposite or let's counter signal Obama. That's not a winning message for voters"
