Gross response.

Here's the Bad Empanada video I finessed this title from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69BlRK9Jql0

Rare Hasan L. Why the fuck is he doubling down on this? Does Bernie really mean that much to you Hasan? hasan-smash

If streaming is bad praxis, the bigger streamer would be doing worse praxis

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Possibly. If the action is bad praxis because it is taken, the size of the audience does not matter. If the action is bad praxis because of the affect on the audience, then the size does matter. Both are at play here.

To drop the pretense of objectivity, BE annoys me far more because he himself is such a dead-ender and seems to exist purely to bottom-feed off of criticizing the actions of other leftists. I'm not even necessarily including Hasan in that category, it's just that that is all BE seems to fucking do.

criticizing the actions of other leftists

Which other leftists as of recent? He just shits on individual fascists and fascist countries like pissrael

There have been multiple videos of him criticizing Venezuela and China, but only when there are conflicts placing them in the spotlight. In particular, he was against Maduro banning the Communist Party of Venezuela, calling the elections illegitimate, despite the fact that they had been actively calling for external intervention in the country. I'm not exactly sure what he expected to happen.

Maybe he has shifted focus, but he's always been incredibly perjorative and rarely well informed.

He's also under the illusion that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was wrong and that Ukraine is handily defeating Russia.

Oh right yeah thats true, I thought you meant individual leftist youtubers.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He could have been doing that as well, idk. The only time I come across his content is when it is posted here. I am not a fan of back-seat drivers, particularly ones that don't actually have a plan of action outside of stirring the pot.

Well his channel has been consistently pro-Palestine for a very long time, most of his videos since Al-Aqsa flood have been about the genocide and ethnic cleansing. He is a coping in that he attributes more importance to his channel than what is warranted but from what I have seen, his content is generally good on Palestine.

Ah thank God the bare minimum. That was only mildly sarcastic.

I’ve seen him talk about how streaming isn’t activism and he and the other political streamers achieve nothing politically. I saw a video of him saying this like a week ago.
