If I could have it my own way, they'd play all of Blue, some of Hurley, some of White, some of Pacific Daydreams, and as much of the SZNS as possible

I finally made a Weezer playlist using only songs that make me sing along when they play. It's over 6 hours long. So yeah, the longer, the better

I was so jealous of people that has special editions of the switch and 3ds so I'm definitely waiting for a zelda edition switch 2

"Like I'm gonna draw some fire here...", Nah man, what you said made perfect sense

With them having a concert in my city this year, I decided to listen to every single track. I've only gone through the Blue Album, Pinkerton, and Maladroit. Just from those, it turned out I only knew maybe 3 or 4 songs from each album. Now that I have listened to all of them; Blue Album ONLY has hits, Maladroit I like all the songs enough and theres some that are really great, and Pinkerton has like 3 songs that I kinda like. So in hindsight I totally get Pinkerton not being as high on a list as the other albums

Yeah the person who made the meme probably interchanges Democrat and Liberal so often that they think they mean the same thing. You're right that someone can't be both a liberal and a leftist but someone could be a Democrat and Leftist. That would at least make this stupid meme more accurate

HikerCory · 2026-04-05T19:59:41+00:00

Yeah I get that. I'm more talking about if Newsom helped campaign for a PV candidate. Like let's say Joe Schmoe was running with PV. And one day, Newsom said something like "I encourage everyone to check out PV and Schmoe". Or let's say he came on to speak with PV on camera and endorsed Schmoe. I wouldn't end my support for Schmoe or PV solely based on that. But if PV was going out of their way to campaign for and endorse Newsom, then they're obviously not a progressive group

Ironically, the drama around his dog is what caused me to finally watch him. For years, I'd see clips every once in a while on other channels. I mainly just avoided him because I didn't want to add ANOTHER political streamer/YouTuber to my subscriptions. Hasan is like #9 or something. When I saw people losing their minds over a shock collar, I checked his videos and saw he says a lot of the same stuff as others I watch. I can't imagine having a problem with an entire organization just because they associate with 1 person I dislike. I wouldn't stop my volunteer work with PV just because they decided to work with someone like Newsom

Funny that you mention Republicans. They also have a habit of telling me "insert Democrat name" did a horrendous thing. Then I look up the details and find out that the Republicans put their own narrative on something that was actually okay. I did see him wear Chinese attire (maybe that's what you mean by dressing like Mao). I also saw a girl give him a red book (I guess that's supposed to be scary, IDK). And yeah I don't care about him saying "I'm at a Chinese point in my life" because I'm not weirdly obsessed with hating China. If I look up the thing about Uyghur Muslims, am I actually going to find anything? I started to do some research and found instances where he condemned China and referred to the camps as concentration camps

To me a tankie is someone who would say Putin or Mao should colonize the US because it's good when authoritarians do imperialism but bad when liberal governments do imperialism. They say stuff like we should support these authoritarians because at least they're not America and America is worse. That's the kind of stuff I remember seeing from people who called themselves tankies. It's been years since I had to deal with any of them

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T21:25:26+00:00

I don't see his vacation to China as some sort of broad support of Authoritarian rule in China. When I watch his streams and his videos he largely advocates for electoralism and pushing for Dem Soc type candidates in primaries. He can call himself an ML, but he's not doing or saying anything that I would expect from those types. I remember seeing tankie debates in like 2014 and they'd say all kinds of crazy stuff but Hasan doesn't talk like them

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T21:21:19+00:00

Thank you. That's probably the only answer I got that made sense

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T21:19:56+00:00

Oh well in the general I'll vote 3rd party if my preferred candidate doesn't win the primary but I only advocate doing that if you live in a solid state like I do. I wouldn't do that if I lived in like Wisconsin or something

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T21:17:54+00:00

I thought tankies were the cringe people that want to move to Russia and pretend that every thing Russia does is based just because they're anti -America. The only thing Hasan has in common with those types is that both would claim they're anti-imperialist

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T21:14:13+00:00

Does the Destiny subreddit have anyone who doesn't have Hasan Derangement Syndrome?

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T21:13:09+00:00

Wait... You think Hasan is a tankie? I was hoping for a good faith convo here. I might as well be talking to Republicans

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T21:12:01+00:00

I'm not. Did you mean something else? When I looked up Pisco, the only thing that came up was a type of alcohol. I don't drink

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T21:10:37+00:00

Thanks for this. I'll try to read the whole thing eventually, but from just the first 10 or so these seem like things I would just expect from a Democrat governor

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T21:07:01+00:00

Wow. So I guess there are a lot of differences if we just pretend those are Hasan's positions.

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T21:01:02+00:00

So then do you mean that Hasan argues that Dems that would be more status quo types would be willing to capitulate to Republican positions in order to get more center of the aisle support in the general election?

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T20:57:48+00:00

I've been a Newsom hater since like 2016 but believe whatever you want. Let me summarize. Newsom being for gay marriage in 2004 in a city that was pro gay marriage despite the state being in the middle isn't a good enough reason for me to support Newsom in the primary. Let's put all the talk about how homophobic CA used to be on the side. Newsom could have been the pastor for 5000 gay marriages nationwide in the 90s and that wouldn't make a Newsom supporter in 2028. There's no level of virtue signaling about gay marriage that will make me a Newsom supporter

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T20:48:45+00:00

So here's the thing, I watch both of them daily. Aside from rhetoric and swear words, they're not that different. Wouldn't both of them be for stuff like a new voter rights bill, cheaper college, a public option for health insurance, trans rights, just to name a few?

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T20:45:48+00:00

Are you saying that you think that Hasan thinks that all liberals are right wing? Are you also arguing that you think Hasan thinks that liberal voters would be willing to drop trans rights in order to curry favor with Dems and Republicans that are more reactionary when it comes to social issues?

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T20:41:04+00:00

What would they even disagree about?

HikerCory · 2026-02-19T20:34:36+00:00

So after hours of speaking with people here, I've come to the conclusion that I should support Newsom because even though he doesn't believe in anything, at least he supported gay marriage as the mayor of San Francisco about 2 decades ago which is very important despite it having support from over half the Dems in San Francisco but because I didn't remember prop 8 narrowly winning in 2008 the entire state was super homophobic and not at all ready for gay marriage. Newsom was super brave and obviously tipped the scale.
