It's crazy how the Chinese police are cracking down on Hong Kong peaceful gatherers this way
It's peak irony that just 4 years ago we were having BLM protests in NYC and now everyone is going back to the same old "lock up every black person" mentality as if nothing has changed. We're right back where we started in 2016.
I think we need another BLM protest in this country because the first one didn't change anything I guess, the same old corrupt POS cops are out there doing the same damn thing
You're right, but if the fact that police department budgets are up higher than ever is anything to go by, protests won't cut it. We need an organized movement that can use strikes, political power, and who knows what other fronts to demand racial justice.
It's maddening, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills sometimes [insert zoolander meme here]
he doesnt talk much politics, though i think he is just a liberal. besides, it wasn't a riot, just a giveaway that had far more people than expected. the riot shit is bullshit.
the alt-right one is Adin Ross.
The pigs have been thirsty to push this shit where anybody who organizes a public assembly can be held personally responsible for the outcome. Although this was a stupid publicity stunt, this is 100% the playbook for any flashmob political demonstrations.
Hmmm, interesting.
I'm not sure what to think. Influencers have too much power as it is.
I turned on the news for 5 minutes and one of the talking heads called the gathering a gang.
I will literally die to make Hasan Piker a little more comfortable and if you wouldn’t, I don’t think I can call you a comrade.
Cult of personality and its consequences habe been a disaster for revolutionary movements
He is not alt-right. He's friends with Hasan, who has been slowly trying to radicalize him
I've watched more than enough Hasan to know this is just bullshit.
and fuck off.lmao it's definitely not toxic to point out that you have a really odd posting history, multiple people have noted this
Don’t bother he does this all the time, I dont know what his fucking deal is he keeps accusing everyone he doesnt like of being patsocs, from lemmygrad to dessalines to now hasan ig
??? Making an inflammatory statement and refusing to provide proof will only result in more people viewing you as a rando wrecker
Yeah I don't watch streamers/YouTubers and mostly only know hasan from chapo/hexbear posters. But there is 0% chance he is a patsoc.
He is important and loud ally to the left in particular on feminist and trans issues. Even when he is wrong he explains his stance so you can at least understand his reasoning.
He might be a giant lib but he ain't no patsoc
They were made mod of a bunch of communities too and they're constantly just posting straight up lies.
also he removed one comment for "dead-naming" where the name used was one of the preferred names of the person in question, and still has not corrected this action after being informed
not that that's a big deal, but just one more thing to consider
The user in question has been doing this since they created their account as well so they didn't just wake up one day and start acting like this after they were appointed mod.
I don’t even watch Hasan and I’m sick of the “House Debate.” Such a meaningless debate and even more meaningless to hold onto, wake me up when he’s doing landlordism
I mean, you can call him a grifter if you want, but Hasan is not a patsoc. Words have meaning. There aren't 'many' patsocs; they are a weird niche group that exists mostly online. I can't think of anyone I would call a patsoc outside of Infrared/Haz and Caleb Maupin. I get the feeling that you might label someone as a patsoc for having bad politics or for bad behavior, but that doesn't necessarily make them a patsoc. It seems like you're using the term patsoc in a similar way to how liberals use 'tankie' or how chuds use 'woke'.
Aren't Rainer Shea, Jackson Hinkle, and Peter Coffin mostly online personalities, though? I do know Jackson Hinkle is a patsoc (I don't know much about the other people, so I can't talk about them). Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't patsocs a completely American thing? I'm not talking about communists/socialists with regressive or somewhat reactionary views – they have existed for a long time – but the modern type that identifies with things like Maga Communism.
I'm not American, so I can't say anything about your claim that PCUSA and KFAUSA have been taken over by Patsocs, which sounds worrisome but – and don't take this personally – also a bit unlikely. I would be happy if other comrades could confirm or deny this."
He donated to Haz and called him a "great Marxist thinker."
This sounds so upside down that you must have missed someone being sarcastic
That's great and when you have a shred of evidence, let me know
Nah the Pluto account has been doing this weird shit where they accuse, with no evidence, literally anyone of liking Haz with the same "great Marxist thinker" line, from Micheal Moore to Hasan to random Marxist writers.
They've been generally trying to stir up shit ever since they got banned on lemmygrad.
that's what I'm asking. Tell me what you think patriotic socialist means, please
If you think Azan is a 'patriotic socialist' you'd be dead wrong. I'm pretty sure half the 'patsocs' I've seen in the past (I don't see many these days) are crypto-white supremacists. Infrared is just a fed/clout chaser, a kind of millennial George Galloway (gets much correct, with a large sprinkling of bs and is a grifter).
That shit was pretty crazy and I'm not surprised by the outcome with how out of control it got. But I just don't like influencers in general.
