he's still a liberal
we get it you're in the Discord
The real liberalism all along, was reinventing the Protestant work ethic
tagline?
Very much a liberal, and even worse, a streamer.
I go back and forth on Hasan. But in general I think he occupies an important part of the pipeline that isn't an actual dead end ala destiny/vaush. And whilst he has criticised China, the last time I heard him do that it was honestly rather feeble or felt like stock criticism ("they could loosen up censorship"). Then he's got gigachad Xi/China emojis that you'll see in his chat all the time. This is obviously the beginning of normalizing China for many watchers, not unlike the memes that many of us saw on GenZedong before reddit shut it down (although GZ was way more radical).
This, with his connections to the deprogram, who directly interface with non-MLM Marxist theory, is a pipeline. From there you're a hop away from Professor Wolf, who isn't far from Geopolitical Economy Report/Hudson/Prashad etc. I'd like to see a bit more direct interface between creators at the level of the deprogram etc make an effort to lead to Wolf/GER a bit more but I'm so out of the loop with "breadtube" maybe that's already happening.
Hasan (and the deprogram, but especially Hasan as a giant "influencer" ) does have to work within a capitalist framework which makes him petty bgz but it feels wrong to group him with the rest.
There absolutely can be a contradiction between his material interest of keeping his followers vs keeping the valve to the pipeline open. Maybe he could make more an effort to lead his followers to unknowingly allow themselves to fall further down the pipeline, but again Ive moved beyond that area of the pipeline (as you're supposed to) and haven't made an effort to monitor it so I can't offer much more than just giving an outline of how this works and what problems can arise.
The important question is: Once you reach the end of the pipeline, do you stop making memes and only read theory, or do you still make memes for those that are below the pipeline (or I guess above the pipeline since pipelines go down)?
If making memes is what you like to do, ideally you read some theory to help make memes that better convey ML ideas. Only reading theory is not enough by itself.
Also I kinda will walk back, or maybe clarify, a little of what I said, specifically about Hasan "occupying an important niche". Whilst he occupies that niche, that's not to say that he's the only person in that niche nor that there's only room for one person in there. Also not saying that someone else cant come along and do better.
But the real world results matter and I know there are a lot of people here who might not be here without Hasan, myself included. And remember not everyone is going to become a Marxist when you're that high up on the pipeline.
And remember not everyone is going to become a Marxist when you're that high up on the pipeline.
Can you please elaborate a bit more on this last part?
You're trying to get as many people introduced to Marxist ideas as possible. And whilst you will get some people to explore further down and eventually some will become Marxists, others will reject it or stay aligned on only certain issues. That's just how it is.
This kind of applies to every level of radicalization to be honest, bar like once someone grasps the historical materialist/scientific interpretation of history. But that is much further down the pipeline than someone like Hasan is.
So for example he will have some viewers who become Marxists after hearing the deprogram podcast and then checking out Hakim, and then falling even further down (Hasan has been on the deprogram), whilst some viewers might stay and watch Hasan only for info about Palestine, or some may stay social democrats.
Missing Robert Evans and a few others.
Mixed on brace beldon (he did ultimately contribute to a third of Syria being occupied on a very miniscule level, but I don't think that was intentional)
I'd say Brace is generally fine, but that could be because I find his bits funny. I don't really follow celebrities, so I may be missing things. He seems to generally have good takes and joined the YPG with good intentions. Everyone has flaws and will be imperfect.
If you see the feds pulling out a second former YPG guy who mysteriously gets a ton of popularity over the Epstein case (TA with the launch of their pod and Helali finding the second black book with the patch notes removing mossad "off ebay" and then getting blasted into minor relevance by the daily beast) and you don't question what's going on here, is there any hope for you?
Worth mentioning Evans though, I remember when he was just a Funny Cold War Facts writer on Cracked which was introduced to me by a more bazingafied classmate.
TA got traction because Brace was already friends with the other leftist brooklyn podcasters, no?
Of course. Don't you love our established Twitter comedians who remind us that no matter how much we joke around, at the end of the day Iran is freaking cringe and their president dying in a firey crash is like Looney Tunes (it's only tragic when it happens to basketball players).
Yeah, let's make fun of the only few leaders standing up to the genocidal regime and mourn a rich man who was too good to just drive from orange county to Los Angeles (something thousands of people do everyday). Oh they are religious, ok what has your agnosticism and liberalism done to stop the genocide?
Did you forget when they launched him or something? Does anyone else remember dates and events here?
They appeared on Chapo right as they begun their podcast.
Yeah it was launched right before Epstein "killed himself" and since then they've made every effort to summarize the story incompletely, alienate victims (retraumatizing Virginia Giuffre and then trying to act like it doesn't matter because she is visibly cooked on Twitter), and pivot away to the most boring unrelated shit about the World Economic Forum, how the pandemic is making people depressed, generic finance news not even related to Jamie Dimon's trial. They never talk about that shit. Go look at Wall Street on Parade and you will realize Liz Warren stans are more proactive.
You don't have to listen to it
This is the funniest possible reply, thank you.
I don't know why you're going after me lol
Also I'm sure this isn't actually relevant to you since you don't care about the details of the Epstein case or anything I'm saying, but "Jamie Dimon's trial" was a bowlderization on my part. He is coming up in JPMorgan trials. But then again nobody else has ever mentioned this to you and likely you will forget the entire case soon enough. Just another crazy thing that happened around when everything went to hell
Why are you reading this? Is it an attack? You'll never know because you don't value this information 👍
edit: Thank you so much for piquing my interest in this again, TrueAnon and showrunners' Twitter accounts have mentioned Dimon once since the show started, and not in this context.
back in 2017 though, Dimon was of potential interest to Franczak as he could be part of the bad globalists and trying to institute basic income 😂guess that interest has passed
they mentioned JPmorgan twice to remark a trial settlement exists but did not go into detail like they did with Maxwell's trial which they did extreme nonstop fixation on, although of course the bank does come up in other contexts because this is now A Money Show. fantastic work. I must be built different because my fantastic work looks pretty different. Was wondering if I wasn't tuning in for rare non-boring non-nothingburger shows but there is mounting evidence I'm right, like I always am
I guess their time is just more valuable than mine, and Virginia Giuffre's. Jamie Dimon's time is so valuable you didn't even think about him until Trump picked him. Nobody even bothered to make a fuss about it.
Looks like their work is done with you lot! Wow!
I wasn't sure why you think this is personal but I suppose I did defame your personal friends 🥺
Yep, that's why I question these things. I stopped listening when he had on a guest justifying the Syrian intervention and I was like, I am done with this shit. You don't get to have a say in Syrian affairs as some sort of drug rehab.
Evans is an admitted fed and justifies every intervention in the mid east and beyond. I instantly avoided Evans podcast as I sensed something was off. He would go all ham on people like Stalin and then make excuses for people like Reagan. Even not being knowledgeable I knew the fucker had an agenda and it wasn't good.
Partition the US
I don't know any of them. Can someone explain who those people are?
No 🙌 basically this is describing politics as it appears on popular streaming services and Twitter through commentators who turn media criticism (already derivative of the US ruling class and stays on the defensive) and summaries of current events and online gossip (which is often cast as current events these days) into fuel for their own grift which can become its own fake events. The specifics of these people, The Young Turks and Majority Report type people or whatever, Breadtubers who find esoteric angles to criticize peripheral countries that have naughtily nationalized their natural resources, gaming streamers who have Gotten Political, the specifics of all that IMO aren't that important unless we're drawing up a collection of all their paper trails and collaborations (in which case you realize holy shit this doesn't matter and shouldn't exist)
Bottom right tried to funnel young anarchists into a militia fighting on the same side as Azov battalion and US mercenaries with obvious fed Jake Hanrahan though and gets a salary from Amazon 😉 the rest are worse
The point of each of these people is their status as fake online friend to many allows them to capture an audience that traditional media never would and so they're maintained as a part of this media apparatus.
This shouldn't be considered "politics" at all, it's somehow even more insipid and immaterial than the tiny Communism Themed parties and groups that are part of the activist-NGO complex (IWW, Teamsters, PSL, DSA, CPUSA, any other org is even less relevant than that afaik)
The western left is truly fucked don't get me started on Eurocommunists

4 is Vaush 8 is Hasanabi
No clue on the others.
6 is some guy named Mr. Borelli or something
Divorcelli
You must be American: the only left in this picture is the last guy (no, not Walter White) and he's a socialist. Liberals are center/center-right, liberals support capitalism, liberals are just another enemy of the left, when the fuck you will understand?
that's the point of the whole meme, to show how ridiculous the state of the 'left' is in the west. They are even labeled as such.
Yeah, I didn't make this meme. I just found it very funny because it is total satire. It just shows the absolute decadent state the left is in the USA. And yeah, I just assumed that Hasan being there was a just a joke to people saying that he is a billionaire or how Yugopnik says "Hassanabillionare" lol.
American Stupidity Party members. CPUSA already denounced so-called "ACP" before.

Thousands of hours of internet cawltent combined, argue amongst each other, achieve literally nothing.
What’s an S‐abuser?
sexual abuser I assume
Wait, that guy (Eddie? MWM?) is backed by the FBI? How?
i mean, i don't know about the FBI, but he is a member of ACP which is...very not cool.
Dude has repeatedly tried to reach out to right wing fuckers. Like boog.
He can do that but it isn't for me
