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

Oh good. I don't care if he is correct here. One of my overarching goals on this forum is to repeatedly bring up that BE is bad and shouldn't be posted until I don't see him anymore, much like you do with Hasan, except I was specifically addressing what was posted, and you were addressing me as if I am part of this 'Hasan fan club' you apply to the forum at large. Way to universalize the particular there, definitely makes it seem like you are talking to me in good faith.

If a link to BE wasn't posted, I would just made fun of streamers in general, Hasan in particular, and moved on. That said, Hasan will likely remain in the political zeitgeist as long as he keeps his good looks, and so will unfortunately come up in discussions of American political culture. It's fighting a losing battle. BE, on the other hand, as no actual relevance outside of niche leftist streamer bullshit and if he can't even clear the hurdle of anti-imperialism I don't know why we should ever have to hear from him on anything.

Yes, social democracy is a dead end, and Hasan is bad and not a socialist. And BE is bad and him criticizing Hasan correctly doesn't mean we have to hear from him. And some people here would sell out their weak communist principles (because very few people here are actually part of a socialist party) for a whiff of social democracy, and that sucks and is bad. If we agree on these things, we are on the same page. If not, idk where we can go from here but I'm sure we'll find out.

I don't disagree with anything you said, they both suck, and agree I should have used "we" instead of "you" because I wasn't really directing it ultimately at you so much but it definitely reads as that. I was directing it at this community in general, this thread, and several prominent users. I apologize for the vague posting.

Hasan was the subject of attack in the post itself, and I was coming at this as a meta-discourse whereas you were responding to it being a BE video which I didn't watch nor pay attention to. We were talking past each other here.

Thank you for the apology. We definitely were. Good luck on the proselytizing.
