They’re feeling lucky after their previous successful campaign to get a handful of smaller MENA streamers banned. It is kind of amazing that apparently congress steps in over online insults now.
“Influencers” tend to have little armies of followers to sic on each other. They don’t need to do much fighting of their own.
That said, it’s pretty obvious why this particular “influencer” was singled out.
Yeah lol, but it’s crazy they’re trying to use the government powers to silence probably the only leftist with a sizeable audience. However Hasan doesn’t come close to the viewer numbers of fascist propagandists like Daily Wire, Tim Pool, Crowder etc.
I bet the
won’t call this “cancel culture” though.However Hasan doesn’t come close to the viewer numbers of fascist propagandists like Daily Wire, Tim Pool, Crowder etc.
Hasan has more viewers than any of these guys. He’s one of the biggest streamers on twitch.
30k viewers live and far less YouTube views, no?
I’d put money on Fox News personalities like Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson have more viewers each day than all of Twitch combined.
Yeah definitely. Which really makes you wonder why viewership this small has to be censored by libs.
This guy represents one of the poorest districts in the country and spends 90% of his waking hours tweeting about “antisemetic” college students and what not, almost a parody of what people think of as a corrupt US politician.
If Y’all can critically support Asad and Putin y’all damn well better critically support Hasan. This an attempt to silence someone who supports palestine by conflating anti semitism and Zionism. It doesnt matter who it is, it just matters that Zionists dont have control over social platforms.
There’s a difference between “it’s bad that zionists are weaponising antisemitism to silence people” and “the gaming streamer is the best hope for the spread of socialism, and the most important voice on earth about the Palestinian issue, we must stan”
they said “critically support”, not “act as if he is the second coming of Lenin himself”
“assad is the best hope for the spread of socialism, and the most important voice on earth about building a socialist world, we must stan.”
Literally who is saying that, I’m not sure if you’re supposed to be mocking me, doing a bit, being serious… Maybe I’m just too dumb to understand this epic own. If only there was a streamer to explain it to me.
The reason you’re saying we shouldn’t critically support Hasan apply just as easily to some of the people Hexbear does support. My comment wasn’t saying, “Hasan is good actually,” only that the same logic that leads us to critically support Russia and Syria leads us to support Hasan.
I took your comment directed to Hasan and applied it to Assad, then posted emojis to show the site’s implied endorsement of him.
Another part of your comment was that Hasan just isn’t that important, just a streamer ect. But, in the current world he is functionally a journalist that reaches millions of people. Regardless, importance determines stakes, not position. Even if this situation is relatively petty, which is very arguable, the position we should take, critical support, is clear to me.
The fact I’m now receiving arguments drawing equivalence between nation-states and twitch streamers behooves me to say
bro if I invite you to a tea party and you don’t tow the party line on which of my stuffies is being a lib ima come after you. This has nothing to do with how big the stakes are and everything to do with how you are assessing this situation. This being a lower stakes situation than the war in Ukraine doesn’t give you a free pass to not think critically.
you have lib stuffies? damn
kidding i agree completely
but also like gulag that lib stuffie this is outrageous
This is a really embarrassing dismissal of a comrade who is trying sincerely to get through to you. Be better.
You’re arguing like a redditor, please stop.
So when is the letter for elon coming?
“if you insult anyone who is jewish you are an antisemite”
BadEmpanada was right about the weaponized allegation of “antisemetism”.
who has described… a Jewish man as a “bloodthirsty pig”
Feel like who the Jewish man in question is is pertinent
I bet it was Ben gvir
Last week when Torres tweeted about Hasan, posting a Destiny orbiter-created clip, which is cut short to make it seem like Hasan denied the possibility of October 7 sexual violence, Hasan mused over whether he should sue Torres. Presumably Hasan is going through with it and not speaking about it publicly
Edit: Ethan’s subreddit overwhemingly sides with Hasan over this letter
That is hilarious that they’re all on Hasan’s side (or at least not on Torres’). So I’m kind of confused, I assumed he was some hyper liberal like destiny, but the fan responses here make me think he was a leftist who just went super Zionist Nazi on this one issue?
H3 fanbase is a lot more progressive than ethan the zionist is
Look, I don’t care if Hasan has money, silencing the largest pro-palestine voice we have and allowing Zionists to paint everyone who speaks out against their genocide as anti-Semitic is bad.
It’s not about Hasan. The largest streaming platforms are going to make talking about the genocide illegal. Good chance the rest of the internet follows. This isn’t 1950s anymore; YouTube, Insta, TikTok, Twitch, Twitter. As stupid as it is, these are the places people under 70 get their news from now. We’ve seen feds try to ban TikTok already, they wouldn’t do that if this shit didn’t change minds.
Control of the narrative and propaganda is insanely powerful and basically the main tool western imperialism uses to control it’s people. Total narrative control of the internet is their last step to crush the last little bit of truth that leaks through and causes trouble for them.
I don’t think we should be downplaying this as just Twitch drama. The western left hardly has any tools, maybe we shouldn’t do the feds job for them and provide 0 resistance to the dismantling of the tiny amount of voice we have.
These zionists also are only singling out Hasan right now because they already successfully got most of the smaller Arab and pro-Palestinian streamers banned for making a joke about hummus.
Well stated. I second this.
I agree.
This is the new McCarthyism, with the bill conflating antisemitism with anti-Zionism.
owl is wise
Real athena-pilled
