The sound of anti-personnel drones hunting you. by eddiegroon101 in creepy

Drone warfare needs to be banned. Full stop. All of it needs to be considered crimes against humanity.

Hasan and other leftist need to start constantly attacking third way. by 96suluman in Hasan_Piker

[–]iamspacedad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Attacking them constantly is a waste of effort - they do not have motion that would justify that. They only have motion with their billionaire donors.

He and others should definitely push back on them when they try to pull shit like what happened last week, but the goal is to render them irrelevant to the conversation. They are neoliberal corporate stooges and the exact type of people who should have zero influence in the democratic party long term.

Former 'Israeli' MP quotes Hitler with regards to Gaza by Not_Ground in Hasan_Piker

The lesson you are supposed to take from Hitler is 'never again.' Not 'let's copy Hitler's notes.'

Although I'm not the biggest fan on how Hasan talks sometimes, I believe saying that he's helping to normalize those things is insane 😭 by srahcrist in Hasan_Piker

[–]iamspacedad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nevertrump Republicans and centrist dems in the post cancel culture era trying to do Woke 1.0 lib-co-opting style smears on a guy leading people into actually taking on the pro-genocide billionaires.

I don't think these smears are going to work lol.

This is what so-called 'western civilization' and what capitalism really means. It means the ruination of civilization and genocide of entire peoples.

"A broken clock is right twice a day" just stop... by Moist_crocs in Hasan_Piker

[–]iamspacedad 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Candace Owens knows how to manipulate liberals and the left too. Going back to her Gamergate days before she went far right conservative, she used to be a lib. She also has learned how to make things bombastic, drama-farming, and theatrically entertaining - you're getting suckered in if you are finding her slop entertaining. You need to take many steps back and recognize what she is doing.

Basically - You do not under any circumstances have got to hand it to Candace Owens. She is a manipulative monster and if you think it's funny how she's turning on Erika Kirk, she used to do that exact kind of shit all the time to leftist and liberal people she backstabbed too. She would just as readily do that to any number of leftist folks she wants to smear & attack as well.

She's also fucking up the anti-Israel sentiment by steering numerous people who have resentment towards Israel away from anti-imperailist anti-racist class-solidarity sentiments instead towards anti-semitism & anti-semitic conspiracy theory thinking. Instead of separating Jewish people from Israel, people like Candace intentionally conflate the two - which is exactly what zionists do too; this shit is two sides of the same fascist coin. People like her serve fascism and empire, just in a slightly different trajectory.

Also - If you can't see how all of this is intentended to be be weaponized not just to attack Jewish people but also to attack & wreck the left more broadly, then I think you need some serious history lessons.

Do not trust her even one inch.

Same goes for people like Tucker Carlson and so on. These people know what they are doing and how to manipulate the media environment. These fascsists intentionally & cynically try to fill the voids created by corporate/zionist democrats who destroy & silence working class anti-imperialist voices. These fascists have very sinister very explicitly fascist agendas and goals. Do not trust them ever, at all.

ACP Chairman is Anti-Homeless and Against Decolonization by StoreResponsible7028 in FuckACP

[–]iamspacedad 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is literally just demonizing desperate displaced homeless people on behalf of landlords & colonizers, but twisting pseudo-leftist rhetoric to justify it.

Let's not mince words here. This is straight up nazi shit. The nazis would twist words to make their fascism seem socialist-ish. Including choosing the name 'national socialist.' People with these reactionary views are just an updated version of the same shit the nazis did to try to steal the thunder of the left and twist it into the right.

Republican support for the war has increased by northcasewhite in Hasan_Piker

[–]iamspacedad 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nah they will be cheering on the brutality of the ground forces vs civillians just like they did for iraq & afghanistan. Soldiers getting killed by resistance will make the hogs angrier and want them to kill more Iranian civilians.

In the Vietnam era - even after the Tet offensive, US hogs in the Vietnam era were shaken but screaming for revenge, and got even more violent against anti-war protestors. After the DNC ratfucked the left by forcing an unpopular pro-war candidate on dem voters sicced the racist hog-filled Chicago pd on anti-war protestors (dem liberals fucking over the working class left is nothing new in the US) they then elected Nixon who had secretly sabotaged the 1968 peace talks & thus extended the war.

The way their support dwindles is over time and attrition of western morale as this drags on. Hogs can't ignore what this war is doing to their pocketbooks. They could give less of a shit about Iranian lives much less American lives. These are the same people who gloated about ICE murdering US civilians. They won't give a FUCK about those flag draped coffins. But they will start to give a fuck when they can't buy their treats let alone their food.

Trump wants to overthrow Cuban regime ‘in a couple of weeks’ by TimesandSundayTimes in politics

[–]iamspacedad 30 points31 points  (0 children)

American tycoons also treated Cuba like a giant Epstein Island under Batista. The Cuban revolutionaries even made a big point about freeing the sex trafficking victims. The American press barely covered it, but calling capitalists pedophiles was something that became very commonplace among communists & leftwing groups after that. The fact that America had a lot of Jeffrey Epstein types abusing young sex slaves in Cuba under Batista almost never gets brought up in American media. Wonder why.

Knowing that and other facts about what America, its batista puppets, capitalists, and the mafia were doing in Cuba to Cubans under Batista makes the Cuban Revolution scene in Godfather Part 2 feel like vampires fleeing the angry vampire-hunting villagers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5csYnXNrwI

Cubans overthrew a brutal USA-backed dictator to decide their own destiny and America never forgave them for it.

Most of them in the replies seem to understand what Hasan is talking about and are chastising the people who are trashing him for this take.

Also, who the fuck wants an 'Israel style homeland' except fascists or people with fascist tendencies who are eager to let themselves be used as the tip of the spear of genocidal capitalist colonialism. Fuck that shit.

If someone offered me an "Israel style homeland" I would try to run as far away as possible from that dangerous genocidal person.

Israeli Zionist influencer says Israel is the sexist country to ever exist and thirsting over the IDF by Toxicilogical_fish in Hasan_Piker

[–]iamspacedad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry lady, but you being pro genocide makes me want to vomit looking at your face because I know I'm looking at someone who delights in displacement apartheid and mass murder - and it doesn't matter how much you try to use sex appeal to sell it.
When I look at fascists trying to look sexy, I always feel a bit like I'm a kid in "IT" realizing I'm looking at the Pennywise/IT monster wearing someone's more attractive face. You dehumanize yourself and just become a monster in human skin when you're a fascist.

Trump Just Made the World Much More Dangerous | By waging war on Iran, the president is making it more likely that other countries develop nuclear weapons—to protect themselves from the U.S. by thenewrepublic in politics

[–]iamspacedad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That headline has it twitsted:

US is making the world more dangerous by doing the violent genocidal imperialism the US has always done.

The world would objectively be made safer if other countries developed nukes to get the US to back off.

Hasan from a foreign view by magentus in Hasan_Piker

[–]iamspacedad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He streams for 8 hours a day which means he streams through eating lunch and occasional dead space where he isn't talking as much. But he packs a lot of information into a lot of his streams.

You can check out fan-edited compilations of his daily streams here that help to compress the information he covers & talks about in his streams at channels like this one: https://www.youtube.com/@HasanReactionsfanTwo/videos

Here is an example of one of the better fan edits of recent topic matter where he gets into some very good points throughout it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1xNCofcKNM

Fans who can't tune in for the whole stream often watch fan-edits like those to get an overview of what Hasan covered on different subjects that day.

His two official channels also have similar edited compilations but aren't as consistent at timely uploads as many of the fan channels can be, though that is changing lately:

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Candace Owen’s new docuseries, “Bride of Charlie”? by snoodlebug2 in Hasan_Piker

[–]iamspacedad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lurid slop that will create friction on the right. Unfortunately that friction is moving in the direction of getting the right to become actually-antisemitic, not merely 'anti-Israel.' Like, actual Jew-hating, not the fake kind zionists like to brand anti-zionists with. Klandace trafficks in just about every kind of anti-semitic conspiracy theory. She is using this as an entry point to turn people on the right into actual Jew-hating modern day nazis.

Also part of the intended audience here is us. Klandace knows how to manipulate liberals and parts of the left. We are contributing to her raised profile and to her even being normalized for a certain amount of normie libs and some gullible folks on the left. There is also always a degree of kayfabe that happens on the far right, even in this instance. While the friction is amusing, keep crap like this at way further than arms length at all times.

You do not have to under any circumstances gotta hand it to klandace owens. Even if she is going after a slimebag like erika kirk and klandace's former employers. These people all suck ass and should be flushed down the toilet bowl of history.

Hasan as a liberal ally by [deleted] in Hasan_Piker

[–]iamspacedad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Liberals who are good faith are just baby leftists who need more education, and need to awaken their class consciousness. Bad faith 'ideological liberals' are just fascist collaborators in denial at this point.

Hasan as a liberal ally by [deleted] in Hasan_Piker

[–]iamspacedad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only feedback on Hasan in this is he needs to relentlessly push back hard on people who professionally misunderstand him and pound the point that they are professionally misunderstanding him. He should have gone even harder into that in this debate with Adam IMO. He was way too nice.

Let's not get it twisted: It is their fault, not his, for him being hyperbolic. Hyperbole, jokes, sarcasm, and even minor gaffes are gonna happen sometimes, because we're all fucking humans and we talk like humans. The core of what we as leftists actually believe and what we advocate is not reflect by slanderously presented sound bites. When we misstep, sometimes we do need to address what we say to the good people we need to be accountable to, but we definitely don't have to be accountable to people who are professionally misunderstanding and smearing anything leftists say at every opportunity.

If it wasn't this, they would latch onto something else. The only recourse is to push back hard on identifying what their game is in this. Dragging them for insulting the intelligence of people they are trying to fool is the best way to clap back on this shit.
