It’s so annoying that the Republican Party is called that because it makes it impossible to talk about the historical tradition of “republicanism” which is probably a more period-appropriate term to use for the radical liberals of the enlightenment era than “liberal”
Alright, I'm doing a moratorium on all @PiscoLitty content and possibly anyone who engages with him. I think it's established well beyond all doubt that he engages in bad faith, but, more importantly than that, every single person he engages in conversation with now ends up getting mass stalked/harassed by the new community of snarkers he's courted. I don't really want to play a part in furthering the harassment of people in my immediate vicinity any longer.
What I don’t think you are understanding about that goal is that Hasan is an authoritarian tankie, not some vaguely Marxist identifying leftist with an academic interest in socialism. He thinks that social democracy/social democratic policies are ultimately *bad* because they help maintain capitalism, and he’s just lying his ass off about his motives and goals.
His idols are Mao, Lenin, and Castro, which is a bit absurd given that he’s made millions criticizing America from within, yet all of those figures murderously crushed such political dissent. He genuinely believes that all of those regimes were more democratic than modern day America.
So as long as he is going to play coy about the extent of his ideology when he goes mask on in lib spaces, there will always be libs translating his stupid bullshit so people understand what he’s actually all about 🫡
As I prepared for the interview by researching his commentary, I realized that Piker is right to complain that the handful of frequently repeated controversial statements fail to accurately represent his worldview.
In fact, it’s much worse than those quotes suggest. https://t.co/FdJ1ey5pPA
What I find so funny about this tweet is that his source was a Donbas fighter who really did give him privileged information that Russia had an invasion of Ukraine in the works, but his terminally online brain interpreted it as "they're making USSR 2"

Apparently every journalist on the planet is too lazy to do the actual research on this, but the entire @Twitch platform was basically anti-SJW gamer bros until I spent two years tirelessly working to bring politics to the space.
Hasan was a <100 viewer streamer until he sought me out in October of 2018. This was a year and a half after my debate with JonTron, and over two years since I'd been fighting on Twitch to bring more left-wing politics to the platform. Hasan was only ever able to come and begin to exist because I platformed him and prepared the space in such a way to make political views like his even tolerable.
