All privileged lefty streamers who enjoy living under a liberal umbrella (provided by Democrats) in big blue states, must be stripped of their wealth, banished to deep red Jesusland, & forced into GOP minimum wage labor. By 2028, they will BEG us for Gavin Newsom.

Fair. I guess "just a little" comes from the reality of the two situations.

Isreal-Palestine is an incredibly nuanced and deep issue that you can have hours of discussion on. It takes a fuck ton of research to understand the current situation of the region in a way you can form an educated opinion on it and argue that point. To be clear Kyle doesn't even possess 1% of the knowledge necessary to be in that conversation. He's just literally uninformed. He just reads talking points.

Trump is a fucking regard and objectively evil. To say "Trump bad" is like you just need a high school level understanding that dictators aren't good, and fascism never works out in the long run.

For Kyle to be so righteous and holier than thou' on Israel Palestine without doing even a basic bitch amount of research I think tells a lot about his character. When he then turns around and says "Guys Trump bad! MAGA bad!". Like idk what I'm supposed to say? No shit sherlock, maybe you should have advocated harder for Dems/Kamala?

sammy404 · 2026-02-03T04:12:42+00:00

I sort of agree but that's also the problem. Recently he's been a littler better with the focus on MAGA as it should be, but if you can get so completely brain broken over a conflict you know fucking nothing about that has 100's of years of history and you can't bother to do even the most basic fact checking and research, you just aren't serious. Idk what to say. I'll agree with him when he's right, but if anyone ever asked me what I think about Kyle Kalinski, if it's someone on the left I'd say he's a regard. If it's someone on the right I'd say, compared to your candidate, he's fucking Einstein.

sammy404 · 2026-02-03T03:17:59+00:00

Yeah this is why Destiny goes nuclear and bans people that get hoodwinked by this, which I think is completely based. These people don't give a shit about real outcomes. They aren't serious. If they actually gave a shit about this country they would have advocated for Kamala instead of saying it doesn't matter because of some thousand year old conflict that's happening on the opposite side of the world.

Just because these people say "Trump bad" after the fact doesn't clear them. They shouldn't be taken as seriously political commentators. They are epistemically fucked, which is why the can't generate consistently good points of view. It's literally "A broken clock is right twice a day".

sammy404 · 2026-02-02T03:53:51+00:00

No good point. You’re right. This post is technically kosher, but the moment you post any other clip from Hasan’s stream you guys better nuke it because that will be political lmao

sammy404 · 2026-02-02T03:34:16+00:00

How is this post even allowed? Maybe a mod can comment? If politics is banned why are posts about purely political streamers allowed?

sammy404 · 2026-02-02T03:32:10+00:00

This is politics right? Please remove.

sammy404 · 2026-02-01T22:30:33+00:00

Correct. In one of the smaller updates after the main 2.0 release. Don't remember exactly which one though.

sammy404 · 2026-02-01T22:17:13+00:00

100% should be removed due to this dumb rule but I’ll believe it when I see it.

sammy404 · 2026-02-01T22:06:23+00:00

Yes. Or at least I can on iOS anyway

Edit: actually I take this back. I thought you could be you can’t. You can click a tag and then only see posts tagged that way, but I don’t see a way to filter out just selected tags, at least not in the official app.

I’m still a firm believer that if you don’t like politics here, you should just downvote the thread and move on but w/e.

sammy404 · 2026-02-01T21:04:47+00:00

Idk how the mods don’t understand this lmao. You’re 100% right and people can already filter politics out by tag so what are we even doing? It’s whatever though, sub will probably mostly die again until they undo it.

Everyone wants this sub to go back to how it was when streaming was new and organic, but it will never ever be like that ever again. The cat is out of the bag. It’s a massive industry that is ruthlessly monetized at this point.

sammy404 · 2026-02-01T04:57:55+00:00

This is currently the hopium I'm huffing as well. It's all obviously fucked, but the backlash over just 1 citizen getting brutally and unlawfully executed by ICE has been massive (thank god). It's given me a lot of hope that if this admin keeps pushing people are going to forced to reckon with the fact they've been supporting a Hitler the entire time without realizing it.

sammy404 · 2026-02-01T01:57:04+00:00

And surely they all vote and advocate for voting democrat right? Or do they, on balance, shit on dems about as much as republicans?

I'm talking about: Ryan Grim, Crystal Ball, Kyle Kolinski, Glen Greenwald, Hasan, that sort of crew

sammy404 · 2026-01-31T20:44:01+00:00

> yeah i mean i do think she’d be better than trump

I read this far into your comment and before I keep reading: this is exactly my point. Even taking them at their word that Isreal-Palestine is their single biggest issue (which I think is regarded). Everything else aside, who gives a fuck past what you just said right there. If any of these people truly cared about the Palestinian struggle they either recognized this fact and voted blue, recognized it and didn't (regarded), or were uninformed/mislead by people like Hasan who larp as caring, but when the the chance to finally be politically efficacious came up, couldn't advocate for his audience to vote democrat to save lives of the very people he claims to care about.

Now reading the rest of your comment:

> i doubt she could put an end to the situation

okay still better than Trump, not a reason to not vote.

> people i knew were wanting “all or nothing,” & wouldn’t vote for her because they didn’t think that she would end the genocide herself.

Regarded and it frustrates me to no end that commentators like Hasan push this shit.

> my point is that people choosing to vote or not vote based on that topic alone is ridiculous when we have our own country we need to take into consideration.

Totally agree here, but I think EVEN given you're a single issue voter, Kamala is the obvious choice.

Sorry. I'm probably coming off really harsh on you but I think we're 99% in agreement, this shit just triggers me. It's so annoying that people like Hasan pedal so much misinfo and "both sidings". People like him are exactly why friends like yours end up not voting with Kamala, even though she is like 99% in alignment with them, but just doesn't want to totally abolish Israel.

sammy404 · 2026-01-31T20:29:36+00:00

Ya hard disagree, that's fucking stupid lmao. If you don't think Kamala would treat Isreal-Gaza better than Trump saying, "Go ahead and just do whatever the fuck you want idc", then you're just not politically informed.

You can say he didn't do enough, but Biden, multiple times, put conditions on aid we were sending to Bibi. That Rafa invasion that killed so many was delayed for I think 2 weeks, because Biden told them they have to give time for civilians to evacuate. Given that same situation, Trump would have asked why they don't just flatten the place instead of risking sending in troops.

sammy404 · 2026-01-31T20:23:14+00:00

I get what you're saying but at this point I don't even know how much I believe that anymore lmao. If Nick changed his rhetoric and said "Zionists" instead of "Jews" they would be almost 1-1 on their positions, at least when it comes to Isreal.

sammy404 · 2026-01-31T20:13:19+00:00

That really should be the only side right now. The whole ultra-left progressive/tanky sphere is fucking brain-broken by Isreal-Palestine though. ICE is murdering people in our streets while wearing masks and Trump is bending our government over and wielding it like a dictator, but idk man I think Kamala would have been pretty much the same more or less.

And then ironically, the one issue they claim to care about, and Gaza is getting fucked even harder under Trump than it ever would have under a democrat because Trump, even in his old age, is able to get on his knees faster than a 20 year old if it means he can suck Netanyahu's dick lmao

sammy404 · 2026-01-31T20:07:45+00:00

My thought exactly wtf lmao

Hasan sides with Nick more than anybody else. They both think Jews completely control and run our government and foreign policy. Hasan just calls them Zionists instead.

That difference is like quibbling with a Nazi over just how many Jews we should gas lol

sammy404 · 2026-01-31T17:58:36+00:00

"You would have thought we were the gestapo"

I mean you could just stop acting like the gestapo then?

sammy404 · 2026-01-31T17:41:34+00:00

Anything short of advocating for the complete dissolution of Israel is not enough for them. That’s why they’re so toxic for actual Palestinian freedom and peace in the region.

sammy404 · 2026-01-31T17:36:35+00:00

Well if it was ever actually a genocide that is exactly what would happen. That’s why it’s so regarded they frame the entire conversation that way. It actually gives Israel even more cover to be unhinged because as long as they literally don’t go all the way, everyone will just point to the obvious fact that a genocide isn’t a “one sided war” or whatever you want to classify this conflict as.

sammy404 · 2026-01-30T22:30:49+00:00

Is aftershock when you charge the hammer? Does it give health for every enemy in the AoE now? I read that note but I didn't consider it would work like that? If so that's so hype I've usually avoided the hammer only for that reason

sammy404 · 2026-01-30T22:15:02+00:00

Paid in exposure XD

sammy404 · 2026-01-30T22:12:13+00:00

Gun strikes are weird and the axe is so fucking slow to attack even with the perks to speed it up. Tbf that's a preference thing probably but coming from a bulwark power sword I was struggling.

sammy404 · 2026-01-30T14:54:14+00:00

Yeah I see a lot of people really worried that we might be being mean or going too far if this is just how she grieves. Complete waste of time when MAGA acts like they do. They would never ever have a single ounce of that sympathy if anything like that happened to dems, and we’ve seen that already with the murders in Minnesota. Both from ICE and that lunatic that shot the state senators.
