Yeah you can’t be on Twitch promoting violent revolution. His election coverage was better than anyone else. He’s a personality, not an intellectual. Everyone has a role. He isn’t breadtube where he’s going to bash you for not voting or for being a revolutionary, but obviously he can’t outwardly promote it. Means testing every single personality gets tiresome when we still have zero well known personalities. I think a lot of the Cushvlog is trash yet this site has this weird cult of personality idol worship with Matt.
I think that's fair and I watched Hasan every now and then, but I couldn't stand his election coverage because his analysis of how the left should operate following the election is so strange. I understand that he can't promote violence (although I am unsure of whether or not that would include theory or at least name dropping marxists.org), but saying things like "it would be fair to compare [Hitler] to Stalin" and arguing for socialism and social services on the basis of patriotism in a settler colonialist nation is just misinformation. I still prefer him to someone on his right, but I just hope that his audience will be able to properly complete the pipeline, especially given the nature of twitch and the content they consume.
I did not hear him say that. That’s obviously an absurd and stupid take. But I don’t think anyone goes to him for a historical understanding of the world. It’s mostly a fun place to dunk on libs and chuds.
He also is talking for 14 hours a day. If you put a microphone in front of me to talk about politics every day for that long a few reactionary ideas may jump out. But I definitely think it’s fair to criticize him when he says dumb shit.
He sometimes gets into this weird thing where he agrees with reactionaries on certain points in order to creates some false idea of fairness. “I get his point even though I disagree with their solutions...”
