Hasan is a saint trying his best to make a capitalist understand why capitalism = bad.

He’s not gonna get it, bro. It’s not in his materialist interest.

TBH, Hasan is also not the best debater but every other “socialist” debatebro is a PatSoc chud so I don’t think they’ll do a better job.

He used to be better, but I think because Twitch as a platform allows you to ramble on and on, and you only have to respond to a chat which of course has a much harder time communicating, it worsens your debate skills over time.

I watched most of this live, and while I found much of it very frustrating, I think it was fascinating watching someone like Ethan wrestle with something quite outside his experience.

I'm also quite happy listening to Hasan speak (albeit a little clumsily) about China, Taiwan, and USSR history, since that's something I've recently spent time trying to unpack myself.

As painful as it was to watch, I can honestly say I don't think I've ever seen Hasan speak so plainly about some of the more challenging aspects of international socialist positions and I hope it gets more people involved in learning more.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
