lmao of course half of the 14 year olds he babysits are subtlety missing the point in the common "wow why does she have to lie, just tell the true about how awful North Korea is" way
But nevertheless this is what a functional leftist pipeline looks like
In North Korea they have to glorify the dictators
Have you seen Late Night "Comedy" here?
In America, you only have to glorify the dictator half the time. The other half of the time, you get to call him a fat, ugly, narcissist and do insane speculations on his sexual proclivity.
Because modern NK has only ever had a single dynastic family chairing the dominant political party, you don't get the "freedom" to heckle the new boss like you would in a multi-party system with rotating leadership.
After the revolution, all American and British talk show hosts will be sent to prison
Hasan’s bourgeoisie excesses are permissible so long as he continues corrupting the minds of the youth with communist propaganda. Give this man a yacht!
his bourgeois excesses are permissible as long as he remains a himbo.
On a serious note, what is the Communist stance on the wealth of individual youtubers/streamers?
Imo since they don't generally exploit workers and earn money directly, they should not be considered "bourgeoisie". Although people with Merch, large biz etc. could be considered bourgeoise
Patreon is fine imo since it's still the same guy collecting what are essentially donations.
Merch on the other hand is a whole business with multiple workers who are exploited on all levels of production.
They are definitely exploited by these platforms but it depends on if they employ others of course, but I think Hasan's production company is a coop.
No matter what, don't expect their class interests to align with yours.
takeaway: north korea is exactly like Columbia university so not that bad
i watched too much of the clip and he felt obligated to qualify that he 'doesn't want to live' in based Korea and that he think it's AUTHORITARIAN so now i'm going to punish my self for consooming streamers with a fast or something
is 'authoritarian' just a meaningless meme word now like tankie or am I going nuts?
End of the day he's just a pipeline, and like most pipelines the stuff that goes thru it is mostly muck....but as long as he continues to pump confused radicals into the Theory Treatment Plant I'm happy
Besides what does that clueless himbo know about the politics and history of Korea lmao, mf can barely stay on the right side of Mideast politics/history, we don't have to love our assets folks, but we do have to recognize their value :theory-gary:
hasan isnt what got me reading Marxist theory and joining orgs, but if i didnt watch hasan i prob wouldnt be doing that shit. watching hasan opened the door to more radical ideas
Authoritarian theoretically refers to a set of real potential qualities, but when someone says "authoritarian" instead of one of those qualities, they are usually doing vibes-based politics. Same with "freedom". It's a real set of things, but if you don't specify what in that set you're referring to, you aren't trustworthy.
I know I've suggested (in lib spaces) that we're "Authoritarian" with respect to property rights. That's what we use the violent force of the state on, there's no political parties that promise to radically change the nature of private property, almost all of our politicians have a lot of property, you can discuss abolition of private property but not "seriously". I live in Australia. haven't seen a good response to it yet. idek if anyone reads my ramblings
she's the inverse of white k pop fans that get the epicanthic fold surgery. she's transracial for bein a WASP.
Imagine listening to this shit then saying Alejandro Cao de Benós de Les y Pérez is a puppet for saying it's actually an alright place to live.
