    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.
