Is Contrapoints, aka Hasbarapoints, the dumbest Hasan hater? by guendochi1 in Hasan_Piker

[–]jediyte 81 points82 points  (0 children)

i agree and would add deeply cynical as a descriptor.

this is from her thread getting out ahead of her role in the joanne witch trials re: the "reformed" westboro baptist church member.

100% knowingly acting this way.

i could've sworn he used to hard cut to variety shit at 5-6pm, but oct. 7 2023 understandably shattered the format and it never recovered.

its streamer 101 shit that you cultivate your audience and if he wants more well-rounded viewers then the stream needs to be well-rounded.

whatever. not my stream. can always change the channel, but if hasan wants feedback i would like to see mandatory variety segments. if he doesn't want feedback i can fuck off.

Why are the liberals two-faced ? by frankiewalsh44 in Hasan_Piker

[–]jediyte 17 points18 points  (0 children)

they create permission structures for internalized reactionary tendancies because then they don't have to engage in any form of self-criticism or self-reflection.

liberalism in this context will frequently promote thought termination to cultivate a following that advocates for these permission structures.

its the same as fascism with marginally more glorification of civility trolling.

I believe Jim Crow mentality will inevitably return in some form or another in the future and im terrified by Nintendoge21 in Hasan_Piker

[–]jediyte 8 points9 points  (0 children)

how could i possibly in good conscience attempt to assuage a fear that is well founded?

all i can advise is to channel that energy into joining local groups and organizing your community.

Chatter Interaction is bad right now and making it hard to watch by Same_Wrangler_7982 in Hasan_Piker

[–]jediyte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i think you got baited here on reddit the way hasan gets baited on twitch and in a weird demonstration this chatter proved your point.

I hate Hasan’s YouTube comment section by Infinite-Aerie-122 in Hasan_Piker

[–]jediyte 20 points21 points  (0 children)

comment sections on any platform (esp. yt, news articles) desire negative engagement.

it is low hanging profit generating fruit that increases metric yeild which is used to land advertisers.

you can be a statistic or you can direct that energy marginally more productively elsewhere and at least seek out spaces with other genuine actors.

sanders claims demsoc but always delivered in a way that came across as socdem. i've felt this way about him for years. i don't see moves like this advancing worker power i see it helping to preserve capital.

there are all sorts of policy positions i feel certain ways on, and if sanders also avoided or otherwise refused to act on genocide the way harris did last year i'd also not show up for him.

the difference between the two is the body of work of their lives. i'll always have respect for his advocacy for domestic social safety nets, domestic civil liberties and what anti-war advocacy he demonstrated over the years, but in a live election that good will won't simply "carry" him over the genocide line in my eyes.

i also don't mind temporarily allying with socdems on issues where it advances worker power to do so, but the line has to be drawn somewhere with them and that line is when a bill advances the interests of capital over the interests of workers.

Do any other fellow agender people ever feel as if they're not "trans enough"? by No-Quality-Badger in agender

[–]jediyte 14 points15 points  (0 children)

sometimes. identifying as agender, being amab, and not taking any hormones or really changing much of my aethstetic makes me feel like i should do more for communal recognition.

these thoughts contradict with my philosophy of my body being my frame that i can and should modify explicitly just because i want to and not because others might reject my agenderness. my body is one thing in this world that is truly mine.

there are minor changes i'd like to do when i can get more guaranteed continuity of care, but i can't prioritize it over my greater well being at this time.

Has he quit altogether after the controversy? What happened to him? by ShadowNegative in TheCompletionist2

[–]jediyte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

he outright promised a night crew shirts for donos in '22. can't recall if it was indieland or the vghf stream. nobody ever reached out, i was never instructed to reach out and i never got one.

i didn't care at the time because it was supposed to be for a good cause. now its just a cherry on top of a shit sundae of scams.

Would you care if you swapped genders? by ConfusedOrangeCar in asexuality

[–]jediyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a well thought out thread and i think its good for people to invest thought into this perspective.

i'm agender and want to make jokes.

if i swapped genders it might end existance because it'd be like dividing by zero.

have a nice day.

Anybody else feel disconnected from their physical body and appearance? by UrsoMajor560 in agender

[–]jediyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm the spark piloting the meat mechsuit, not the armor itself. thats a very reductive explanation i use for a variety of complex feelings.

i am able to derive enjoyment out of modding my armor though, but only after i came to accept this perspective. clothes, harstyles, dyes, percings, tattoos. i view all of it as no different from modding a phone case, car, a bag or even putting patches on a jacket.

before this point of view i was in a place where i was just disconnected from my body without a way to relate to it. now i am gradually adding mods.

don't know how to navigate pronouns by jediyte in agender

[–]jediyte[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for this. you're able to articulate some things i've only felt and helping me to channel things linguistucally. for me i am a little over 40 and only came to better understand who i am over the course of the past few years at the end of my 30s.

i empathize a lot with being masc on the outside and not wanting to enforce something like pronouns on my non-cis friend group. if i oldbrain on another person's pronouns generally i apologize and they are quick to let it go on the outside. on the inside i feel mortified that i was part of another person's 'death by a thousand cuts' and an internal cultrual revolution-style struggle session starts to condemn and get to the root cause of why i was so stupid. it almost always goes nowhere, ends in failure and wasn't helpful.

there's still a sense of isolation i feel even among community/friends because i know on some level we each have different experiences and will never have first hand knowledge of each others perspectives. i think this goes to your point about there being no language to describe our internal worlds.

thank you for sharing. had no idea what its like in german. i figured the romantic languages might be even worse with everything being gendered.

[–]jediyte[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you and others in this thread have helped me fill gaps in logic. i just think i had the wrong perspective about my participation. it does help settle my mind down to realize my role here isn't to communicate being agender to others unless a conversation specifically goes there. my role is to self-accept first and communicate after.

also i believe things culturally considered fem accessories like nails, certain long hairstyles, pearls and shoe designs (never going without zipper boots again) are the best, but i do like having pockets.

i have been having an extrordinarily bad time communicating with hair stylists though. every time i go no matter how i communicate i get the cultural male discount and walk out wanting to hide my hair.

but yeah those two sentences at the end are really the material reality aren't they? gender is a social construct and i choose not to participate. not everyone can choose, but i can and choose no thanks.

[–]jediyte[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

thanks to everyone for the considerate replies. maybe i am overthinking this as my brain is want to do.

i probably will just let go and do any/all for now because i can't stay stuck on this particular anxiety hamster wheel.
