It’s no use, my friend. There’s like a dozen shit-posters here who aren’t interested in doing anything except doing drive-by disinfo dumps on Hasan so that anyone not in-the-know in the thread genuinely asking “who is Hasan” gets to poison the well on digging any further…

Like someone says “who is this?” and then someone replying “oh that guy? He likes Hitler” and then most people will go “Oh ok I don’t need to look up anything else on this Bernie Sanders guy I guess then since that person who seems to be knowledgeable said he likes Hitler…”

Damnit, I forgot what sub-re… I mean… lemmy community I was in.

What’s wrong with Emma and Sam? Other than how much Sam scares that poor Arthur voice actor Steven Crowder?

Do you have a source for this?

Honestly, it’s so easy to attach a link to anything you comment - so the only reason not to is if you lack the evidence to back up a claim.

The Majority Report’s probably one of my favorites, but honestly I try to keep an eye out on a lot of different sources so the chances of me being too deeply attached to any given streamer to the point I begin to deny reality is lessened. I watch Vaush every now and then, Kyle Kulinski, The Serfs, More Perfect Union, Second Thought, the Coolzone Media people like my friend I’ve been arguing with here, and probably a few others I used to watch more, but stopped due to a noticeable shift in the way they started covering topics - like TYT for example.

Not just “any” country - Switzerland you said according to your comment history. Also not an A.I.

I also like Megabonk but suck at it. Ranked like 7th out of my friends and mostly main Calcium, but have been trying to get better with MegaChad (sorry for creeping - just curious about your other views - you otherwise seem ok other than this weird evidence-ignoring hatred of Hasan - which is extra weird b/c you also seemed to like Kat A - who is cool and was on BtB the other day with Robert and was great b/c she made them drink Malort).

But real talk - I know none of the streamers are perfect, but Hasan really genuinely is kinda great considering the other options out there, their own baggage and the reach of their audience - i.e. Vaush, the Serfs, Kyle Kulinski, etc.

Any time I see the “dog abuser” bullshit, I just immediately roll my eyes because of how immediately a red-flag it usually is.

Also, point of clarification - not calling YOU a psy-op. Just the push by mainstream news like CNN that he’s anti-Semitic, or by butt-hurt half-wit grifter streamers that he’s a dog abuser - are both psy-ops that no one able to think critically and observe and judge evidence should believe.

Leomas : Hasan abused his dog.

Yes, it definitely looks like this guy hates his dog.

Appealing to evidence is not the same as appealing to authority. The guy isn’t perfect, but the idea that he’s either anti-Semitic or an animal abuser - is a psy-op.

Suuuuure…

Buddy, I’m not a fan of left-infighting, so - assuming you aren’t actually a shit-stirring disingenuous liar, I don’t hate you.

I really only mostly don’t like the red hat types and the folks who pretend to be left-leaning in order to sow chaos among the ranks who might otherwise band together.

😄 Robert from Behind the Bastards or Cody and Katy or what?

What are you even talking about?

I am not aware of any “takedowns” posted by Some More News or any of their other works I literally follow that have said anything bad about the guy.

It’s not like they don’t do takedowns of people either (deservedly so in pretty much every case I’ve ever seen). I’m really curious as to who from Cool Zone says Hasan is a dog abuser.

lol, please you gotta tell us all - which one are you a fan of?

Ethan, Destiny, Asmongold, or some other half-wit grifter?

Anyone here calling Piker an animal abuser is either someone who’s been fooled by grifters, or an absolutely gross liar.

Why are people hating on this guy? GREAT QUESTION.

Well, you see - there’s a bunch of really gross right wingers who hate him, as well as grifting streamers (including some sex pests who have gotten into ACTUAL trouble) who don’t like this specific commentator who’ve tried to discredit him and in a moment where the guy’s very well-treated and absolutely beloved dog apparently hurt her paw or something and they were able to edit out of context, intentionally misinterpret, and then convince their hordes of followers to make memes of the moment and share everywhere and comment in every thread mentioning the guy. There’s also really sour grapes from noted internet meme comedy guy H3H3 - who had a podcast called “Leftovers” with Hasan for a while until they had a falling out post-October 7th who also has had it out for the guy ever since then.

…But you don’t have to take my word for it.

There are plenty of other left-wing and even just centrist types, like Medhi Hasan, the Pod Johns - aka Obama’s former speech writer guys that formed a podcast network years later, Kyle Kulinski, Jennifer Welch (aka the former neolib wine-mom queen turned leftist), Sam Seder and his crew at the Majority Report all vouch for the guy.

Hell, even Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, and AOC are all cool with Hasan Piker.

For those not in the know…

KC Green is so great.

He singularly is responsible for the the This Is Fine meme made all the way back in 2013… and more importantly… Anime Club.

The “ice cream gloves” invention episode, right?

We had been waiting for a while just because there was no reason to replace our car-payment-free household with a car payment before one of the vehicles crapped out…

…But to be honest we’d wanted an EV for almost a decade at this point.

I test drove my first EV back in maybe 2015… but couldn’t justify the price tag at the time to buy a new one, so we went with a cheap used car with high MPG and relatively low mileage overall.

It’s just now that for the first time, it makes sense - not just from a “gas is expensive” standpoint, but from a “this might be cheaper than maintaining an older car (100k+ miles, 15+ years old)…” and also a “gas might not just be expensive but unavailable at some point given the supply shock currently wreaking havoc in other places besides the US” standpoint…

We like to plan for contingencies whenever it makes sense to do so.

We just bought our first ever EV - a used 2021 model with <50k miles for less than half the price of a brand new model… and it’s amazing.

Already calculated that just in the few times we’ve charged it since buying - with gas being almost $4/gal… we have spent <$5 in electricity with just a little 120v (thanks @jjj4211) wall adapter (level 1) at only 70% efficiency to add roughly 250 miles of range.

That equates to roughly $40 in gas… even with the high-MPG car.

On top of that, being able to start it in a parking lot or even an indoor garage to cool it down in the summer or warm it in the winter before having to get in or worry about filling an enclosed space with carbon monoxide, a quieter drive, and just more modern conveniences and safety features thanks to it just being a decade newer than our last vehicle made it seem like a somewhat sensible purchase for us, if not perhaps a little “overly pro-active.”

Literally made my heart jump.

Obama didn’t help make Trump happen because of his skin color or any conspiracy.

Obama helped by promising desperately needed “hope and change” and then dissolving his more deeply left grass roots organizations who helped get him elected.

Obama helped Biden coalesce the neoliberal wagons around his campaign to win at a critical moment during the 2020 presidential primary.

Obama was more concerned with appearing noble in his politics than using power to fully address peoples’ material needs and thereby more effectively inoculating said desperate people from demagoguery offering scapegoats to blame at those needs being unmet.

Ewww gross, a neoliberal meme.
