CBS’s Gayle King Floored By DSA Candidate’s Claim She Isn’t Familiar With Hasan Piker: ‘You Don’t Know Who He is?’

Reply in thread

This dudes full of shit. Hasan says dumb shit all the time but he isn't supporting mass murder and he said America deserved 9/11 in the sense that the blow back was earned due to our foreign policy. He's apologized, he's clarified etc etc etc. It's bullshit talking point from ten plus years ago and people still cry about it even though it's factually correct

America's involvement in Afghanistan and the middle east in general created the conditions that caused 9/11. We reaped what we sowed.

Next they will say that he doesn't care that Jewish people were raped on October 7th while ignoring the context that he doesn't care what Hamas did on October 7th because it doesn't justify a genocide.

It's all so fucking tired and annoying. I dislike stream bro rhetoric but I'm so sick of every other conversation I see online about dsa or leftists devolving into some shit hasan said thats removed from context.

I'm sorry but the type of suit he's wearing doesn't make him anti-American. China has made a lot of advancements in the last 100 years. There's nothing wrong with respecting that.

They have plenty of issues with totalitarianism the same way America does that doesn't mean I don't appreciate aspects of America's history and vice versa for China.

Fdr put Japanese people in concentration camps, but if somebody wore a suit that was styled after a suit that FDR wore and talked about all of the amazing things FDR did. I wouldn't say they're anti-American.

This isn't the goal post moving. This is people thinking that bringing up the type of suit the guy wears is stupid.

To those in countries where democracy might last another election - **harm reduction is not optional**

Honestly, seriously. Would harm reduction have happened if Kamala was elected. Yes. Did I personally core for her? Yes.

Did this get them elected? No? Shut the fuck up and stop blaming voters because the Democrats don't know how to do politics on purpose so they don't lose their bribes.

Want a better analogy? There's a bus driving for a cliff and one group votes to minimize the impact of driving off the cliff while another group says please please drive faster off the cliff and do a backflip. A third group says guys, can we perhaps maybe not drive off the cliffd? And the rest call them insane and drive off the cliff

Apparent unwritten rule of "No posts about Palestine" on [email protected]

There is no footage that proves a systemic rape by Hamas. That is a proven lie

That's not to say Hamas hasn't raped people. This isn't condoning Hamas. But to imply that hamas is more guilty of rape or that it is part of their overall strategy is stupid and Israeli propaganda.

If I found evident that a Jewish person raped a Nazi, would that invalidate every Jewish person that fought back?

No they want to appear to regulate capital. Most of the time they don't actually want to regulate it. Yes they won't be as overt as to do the massive wealth transfers they the republicans do . But they will. Who was president in 08 ? Who continued to dump money into our military contracts despite running as anti war?

Like yeah the parties are different domestically but foreign policy wise the outcomes are usually the same.

Streamer attempts to comprehend fedirule

Reply in thread

Yeah that's why I stopped watching years ago. So many shitty takes and weird misogyny that I found out about later. But what initially started pissing me off is how often he'd refuse to back down and refuse to learn anything. Similar problem I have with hasan even tho I think he's better about it.

It's a streamer thing

The Right Jumps to Defend Young Republicans' Racist Texts

Reply in thread

Yeah I said all sorts of shit I never believed. Felt like none of it mattered and racism wasn't real etc etc because I was a dumb privileged kid. Once I talked to people different than me and thought for like forty seconds I realized how stupid I was and how I'd been getting sucked down a right wing rabbit hole.

None of it excuses my actions and these dumb young Republicans are actively trying to enforce their racist beliefs.
