Im being serious. The left needs to embrace a “do as I say not as I do” attitude towards our leaders, with great power comes a large amount of treats and who are we to judge Hasan for not living up to the ideals that he sets out for us. In fact I think its good that he doesnt do what he says, it means you are willing to follow him, when he does not care about you, it shows one true ideological devotion to the cause. Please give your eyes and your capital to Hasan, he needs it more than you, and do not have original ideas or question him at all. Free thinkers will get banned in the twitch chat. And please, do not drink the Coca Cola even if dear leader is doing it. Inshallah Hasan is divine in nature!
Yeah, I just don't pretend streamers I watch are personal friends, I treat them they same way I would any other entertainer. It doesn't seem hard, but for some reason people get really personally attached to them and defend them like they're people they know in real life.
Even if they WERE my friends, I have plenty of friends who are Libs, I wouldn't have any friends where I live if I insisted only only befriending people as left as me. You don't have to defend their Lib takes, just accept their Libs and move on.
Yeah, exactly. If you want friends, you need to tolerate lib bullshit, I was stuck listening to a half hour conversation about the new live action avatar recently, and they kept talking about fan theories and stuff and my libbest friend shared their performative lib ideas about Sokka not having an arc where he stops being sexist being a good thing because it removes "controversy." It was so damn mind-numbing.
But they're my libs and I love them.
There were a few people on this site parroting that same opinion so idk if that's an exclusively Lib take
Oh, this was a very lib version of the take though, very much "removing controversy is good. Full Stop." kind of thing. 0 analysis, 0 understanding, just "This thing bad, so it should be gone forever and always."
I still think it is a lib take. Acting like characters in fiction have to be completely flawless from the get go just results in really dull, boring characters. Real people are assholes, and characters in fiction should be assholes too, as long as it is seen as a bad thing by the text. But libs have that whole "this exists in your fiction, which means you must approve of it." complete lack of media analysis.
