I've watched some of his and Hassan's recent debate... Dude has so much boomer internet brain worms he just gets distracted like a Labrador Retriever over completely irrelevant shit. And his political strategy just seems to be to court a moving target of voters for "for our side" as though Dems are leftist adjacent. Using 'no true leftist', 'the wokes have gone too far', crime panic, and other bullshit arguments.

Just log off dude.

i feel like i cant properly judge people on this stuff because im so fucking china brained even Hasan sounds like a lib to me half the time but everyone talks like hes some far left extremist lol.

Most of those people have a parasocial relationship with him. Even people who normally don't do celebrity worship get weird when it comes to criticizing him online

90% lib but he likes China somewhat (he thinks it's too authoritarian lmao)

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 week ago

I also think of Hasan as a lib lol

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago

Hasan literally complains about China doing “cultural genocide” against Uighurs, yet this apparently is the best the western “left” can muster

most online western leftists with a platform are anti-AES when push comes to shove

He's petit bourgeoisie. I'm not surprised. He wouldn't want to be seen with me post-revolution sucking and fucking my way from sea to shining sea laying mile after mile of big, beautiful high speed rail across the US of A. He wants to do reaction content (the most devolved content) on twitch and make a shit load of money doing it.

Chunky weaver used to be less insane but he started melting several years ago

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Lol, yeah Cenk is a pretty gross reactionary lib. Hasan is principled and I'd say fairly middle of the road actual leftist.

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

If Hasan is principled why does he perpetuate the Uighur genocide myth and other anti AES positions?

[-] somename@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well, I wouldn’t say he perpetuates the Uighur genocide myth. He does say he thinks it’s a bit of a somewhat oppressive crackdown, but more for like security corridor stuff rather than evil Chinese machinations or whatever. So something of a middling response. On the other hand he does openly advocate about their intervention in Tibet being good, so idk. Differences in specific position on that idk.

He’s generally pretty China positive in terms of tone though when covering topics. The overall push is towards deworming the brainworms of the audience imo.

I watched his stream recently, he word for word called it a "cultural genocide"

I've never heard him say anything of the sort, pretty sure I've actually heard him say the opposite, but I may be thinking of someone else. Principled doesn't mean the correct take every time. I've felt that he tempers/avoids a lot of the Maoist 3rd worldist takes and discussion intentionally to not scare away his mostly western audience who isn't going to understand until they've studied and learned more.

You see, the brain pan of the average angloid burgerlander has space to grow around areas that are associated with empathy and critical thought. But this void does not fill in until they are taught martialist analysis. For that, Hasan is a good intro.

All jokes aside, I have a lot of faith in martialist analysis eventually leading to better understanding.

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

It’s not a Maoist third worldist take to dispel western warmongering propaganda about China. He has called it, word for word, “cultural genocide” which is repeating imperialist bullshit. That’s not principled it’s weak and ignorant

Not watched it yet, maybe its just me but Cenksgiving and Cenkmas just sounds like Hasan treats him like a pet or mascot which is hilarious to me and I love it. The way he talks about "Cenk's journey". Fucking lab rat experiment on the lib to fascist pipeline or something.

[-] Azarova@hexbear.net 35 points 1 week ago

The 'Free Hunter Biden' shirt he brought was funny but I muted the stream after that. Every time I glanced back at the chat, I saw people calling Cenk a reactionary and spamming trans pride emotes, so I assume it was pretty bad.

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago

Yeah... He made it a point it "draw the line" at trans women in professional sports associations. And going off about not using public spending for imprisoned trans women to get bottom surgery.

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

All I saw was “some abortion bad” lmao

[-] Moonworm@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago

Gurga getting real shaky with it.

Nah it was real wild watching him kinda just fly into a rage about giving free transitions to the Chinese because he's angry about people in his twitter replies.

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah, he's a fucking freak.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

Cenk needs to fuck off forever

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

the cenk uygur genocide

Yeah while we're at it, what's that Nick Mullen bit about how his name is basically just 2 slurs?
