Wanting a different world, doesn't mean you don't have to live in this one for now. There is no contradiction here.
I think this is aimed more at the Hassans’ of the platform than small youtubers trying to educate and make a difference.
Socialism is when small youtuber, capitalism is when popular youtuber.
Socialism is modest living and wealth redistribution, capitalism is mansion and lambo.
I know this upsets the Hasan fans, and for that I am sorry.
Pretty sure socialism is when government does things and communism is when government does lots of things.
How did communism come into this?
I thought we were sharing comedically bad definitions of political systems.
Riiight, okay buddy.
Making a living as a YouTuber / Influencer literally depends on capitalist methods. I.e the platforms (YouTube , Instagram, etc), and producing and selling merch. The entire idea of "content creation" is capitalistic.
No. Even in a socialist utopia, there'll still be "influencers" who become famous online.
Famous ≠ Making money. But sure, please elaborate how one would do so in a socialist Utopia. Consider me all ears
Socalism is when people who work at a company, own the company, and share in the profits. But not everyone will want to do that. Some will still want to do their own thing. They'd be paid by people (viewers in this case) same as we do now.
Okay, and where would they post their content?
To YouTube still. Which is now owned by all the Google employees.
Probably not youtube, because in a truly open market with socialist rules, youtube would have fallen with its constant enshittification and be replaced with a more user/creater friendly alternative.
But how would they buy YouTube in the first place? How would Google even be what it is today without rich shareholders pumping in money for decades? Without harvesting and selling user data?
Do people think, that in socialism You don't need to earn money?
Worse, they think all trade is capitalist
Most americans think socialism = communism
Hoes gotta eat, too.
Catherine Liu pointed out how a lot of leftist spaces end up reproducing vanguards because of internal contradictions. Seems relevant for some reason....

I mean, a mans gotta eat. That's not a big issue.
However, champagne socialists like hassan should go eat shit
God forbid someone spend their time helping get progressive candidates elected, real praxis is shitposting on the internet forums
Hassan is such an unlikable and stupid kid that he's more helping conservatives being elected lmao.
Projection is tough to overcome, I wish you the best
