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?

Badempanada's criticism only makes sense from the perspective that he believes that streaming is activism. Badempanada thinks that he's going to defeat Zionism by being a really annoying person on twitter. It is entertaining that Badempanada is really annoying on twitter. This is the core of why Badempanada is so mad, he thinks that doing an interview is activism and therefore doing a bad interview is bad activism.
I watched the Hasan video and the Badempanda video. Badempanada makes a conspiracy theory that Hasan is "being groomed by the mainstream media" to launder their opinions. Hasan's video says that he agrees that the interview was bad and he didn't know the extent of how bad that Matt Duss is. Badempanada says that Hasan should have been more critical to Matt Duss. Hasan says that he should have been more critical to Matt Duss. So what is the disagreement? The disagreement is that Badempanada thinks that streaming is activism and it seems like Hasan does not agree that streaming is activism.
You think the interview was bad. Badempanada thinks that the interview was bad. Hasan thinks the interview was bad. What happens next? Hasan created this video to say that the interview was bad. At 9 minutes in the video, Hasan say he doesn't care about drama because doing activism (going outside and protesting) is more important than internet drama. Hasan seems to recognize that streaming isn't activism. Badempanada thinks that streaming is activism. That's why he's mad.
I don't think that streaming is activism. Sometimes Hasan does activism by attending protests, the student encampments, or the anti-ICE protests in LA. Other people have said that Hasan inspired them to do activism. Streaming itself isn't activism.
Hasan's stream is a news show. News shows sometimes do bad interviews or have bad guests. Chapo has had many bad guests and they acknowlege it, (contrapoints, Matt Taibbi, etc). Every news show has bad interviews sometimes.
My expectation is only that Hasan recognizes that this was a bad interview and doesn't make the same mistake again.
Hasn't BE said the opposite of this many times? That he considers himself an entertainer and that all of this extremely online influencer shit is entertainment grifting. And he specifically included himself in that, saying NOT to look to influencers for any kind of leadership or organising because they're not.
Maybe I'm misremembering?
The problem with streamers is that quite often what they say and how they act are completely at odds with each other. They place themselves as the loudest most obnoxious voices and then go 'Oh no, don't actually pay attention to me, I don't actually have an obligation to mean what I say, saying stuff is just my job, you can't get mad at me for doing my job!'.
ah yes the Jon Stewart argument
