VANCE He has this command : Place. Which is basically, I snap my finger and point. He will run to that place and lay down.
INTERVIEWER You don't have to zap him? like Hasan
VANCE Like Hasan Piker? No
both laughing uncontrollably
INTERVIEWER Wasn't that disgusting?
VANCE There's no electrocution of dogs here.
INTERVIEWER How disgusting is that? What does it tell you about a person?
VANCE I think it tells you that they're bad people. ... If you mistreat dogs, that's almost a 100% sign that you're a going to be a really terrible person.
I have no idea why the internet left decided to chain themselves to the cart of Hasan years ago in the first place. He has demonstrated questionable decision making for years and his fanbase is honestly a classic cult of personality. He presents himself in a way that is extremely unhelpful. The best time to disavow was 5 years ago. The second best time is now. Even Mandami (with his terrible political instincts recently) has managed to realise this. Moments like this are only going to continue and it's only going to get worse.
Hasan is a conventionally attractive left-leaning influencer who's articulate enough with the least amount of baggage. Who else is there? Vaush? BadEmpanada? Contrapoints? He doesn't exactly have stiff competition lol
As for "well, people shouldn't develop parasocial relationships with e-celebs nor get their political education entirely from Twitch chat," you're preaching to the choir lmao
He didnt do anything. Theyll clip chip anything out of context. They recently literally clipped him mocking racists and framed it as if he is one and got it trending.
On this incident specifically he didnt even say anything political and they were able to fabricate something.
I think Hasan has a solid future, the people who keep making up these campaigns are committing disgusting shit themselves, their fans will grow up and turn on them eventually
Hasan is ideologically turning into V**sh at a rapid rate with how he pretends that Lenin would support entryism. Admittedly Hasan is way less of a racial chauvinist, which is a meaningful difference, but it's still really dire in some respects.
Mamdani condemned Hasan saying “America deserved 9/11” so idk why you’re siding with Zohran here when Hasan was 100% right ti say that
Who is the "internet left" and how do you know that they've chained themselves to someone?
his videos have successfully de-chuddified several people I know irl.
So fuck off
If I for some reason reshaped my entire worldview around what is most palatable to "dechuddification pipeliners", what follows from that? What is accomplished by changing everyone's media consumption habits?
Ok and? People like Contrapoints turned me away from the reactionary culture war a decade ago too. Doesn't change the fact that she like Hasan is a liberal whose only contributions irl are getting people to vote for the democrats and other bourgeois parties.
Online leftists really have to stop thinking parasocial relationships with streamers is somehow praxis and go outside (and also read theory).
