Because I care about people knowing the truth, what's right or wrong, so they can learn to ignore and belittle evil morons like you, as I learnt it myself from others. You helped me achieve that by replying the way you did, so, thank you for that, really, I mean it
So, I'm an evil moron because I chose to troll you instead of interact with your pages long schizo reply? You write page upon page of ramblings all over this thread. What on earth could I possibly hope to gain by engaging? I'm not going to change your mind on anything, nor you mine. I can save myself the novel length reading I'd have to do and get a quick laugh by getting a rise out of ya. I had a pretty good time with it. If you think I'm evil for that, you have a strange concept of morality.
I don't care about changing your mind. I can already tell you are beyond redemption. I care more about the silent readers, they are more valuable and important than you. People who are actually literate and have at least the small amount of brainpower they need to read 500 - 2000 words as a form of "respect" or engagement with another human being; reading their thoughts, discussing what works and what doesn't, even with insults in the way, these moments are great for self-reflection later on. This is what the Internet and platforms like these were literally made for, you stupid monkey. You are just a stepping stone for me to display how moronic and evil you and everything you stand for are. Nothing else. You fulfilled your role very well by replying to me with this shit that only appeals to edgy angry teenagers and menchildren with arrested developments, not the people that actually matter in this world.
I apologize for thinking that you had any value and deserved long thoughts. You wanted the typical short insults instead? I got both, my little sexually frustrated virgin who will never have even a quarter of what the average baby boomer religious nutjob had at your age and who probably thinks blaming minorities is the answer, instead of the people who actually decide wages, housing costs, healthcare costs and most importantly: wars. People with capital. They love it when we fight sideways instead of up, just like you currently are trying to do so by demonizing Hasan and his community.
I bet it was the Ukraine invasion comment that locked your brain. It has to be. You love to blame Hasan for getting that wrong, and use it as an excuse to say he is always wrong. But it's hypocrite, because every single American I have met in my life before the Ukraine invasion would mock Putin and Kim Jong Un of being "all bark, no bite" and this is something undeniable. Even today you still do it, you call him weak, make fun of his old tech, old weapons, nukes don't work, blah blah. You have no way to argue that, so, you got really mad and decided to play a stupid ass game that only made you look worse. Congratulations, dude. It'd had been better for your idea if you stood silent instead, but now you paired your argument with childish behavior, and people hate that. It's embarrassing. In the other hand, I don't care what people think about me. I only care about giving bits and pieces that shall give them further ideas and thoughts that will help them deal with mouthbreathers like you in the future, as I myself learnt from others.
Ah, the amount of times I have seen these insults coming from MAGAs or people that are so angry because they cannot dismantle anything I presented... "long text = schizo" "tldr" "take your meds" "you are insane" "keep crying" "keep coping", spamming laughing emojis, clown ones, blah blah. Thanks for showing everyone that this statistic is real: "54% of U.S. adults read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level, and 64% of our country’s fourth graders do not read proficiently" according to the National Literacy Institute. I'm sure you will prove me right again by repeating yourself because I wrote too much again, watch:
You know, I did read all of that and genuinely, you are mentally unwell. I didn't get mad or have any emotional reaction whatesoever to your initial rantings. I saw the reply, clocked it as a very strange person attempting to start some kind of argument, looked at your comment history and saw pages on pages of ramblings on the same thread, decided you'd be an easy mark to fuck with. You dont know anything about me and you're attaching a whole lot of false labels that have nothing to do with me. I strongly recommend you spend less time online, whether that be watching politically charged content or trying to appeal to "silent readers". Also known as the non existent people you have to imagine agree with you because the people actually replying to you recognize how unhealthy your rantings are. Notice how you spent two paragraphs arguing a point against yourself because you thought maybe I'd make that point, that's not a normal thing to do. You can look around at my comment and post history, it'll invalidate just about every assumption you've made about me and every false label you've put on me. I'm a happy, successful, loved, physically and mentally strong person. I hope you can look inward and see how what you are saying here and elsewhere are not indicative of reasonable healthy dialog. I don't care about Hasan at all, I figured I'd toss out a single one line joke, it was silly, not a deep rooted political stance I care to debate about.
Yeah dude, my little brother has Down Syndrome. He always apologizes first even when it isn't his fault, and is always trying to make people laugh. He cannot speak, and he struggles with so many daily tasks.
Me constantly coming across people like you, evil insufferable assholes who belittle, attack and dismiss others with petty nonsense, did break me. All I see around me is ignorance and evil.
I will stop rambling once you manage to prove why am I wrong. Otherwise, I don't plan to stop hammering these into people's heads, because I am doing it for my brother, whose life people like you ruined. You want to silence me, you want to kill me and my brother in silence. You want us complacent, quiet, obedient. You don't want me to share anything, because you fear it will convince others that you are a fucking asshole who should be socially ostracized.
Keep making jokes about the people who are genuinely trying to help this world. You are so fucking smart for doing that. I am still waiting for the pun. What about using the clock quote on Hasan is funny?
Maybe you are the one who is mentally unwell if you think that's funny. If you think that's even something you can call humor. No, dude; you are convincing people of staying away from Hasan. Even if you did it because you are a buffoon, you should learn to be more responsible with your words.
You are in no position to call anything a healthy dialog. You are the kind of retard who pushes people like me to be the way I am. I used to be more gentle, short and concise, but I realized it was useless. I have to write a lot, cover every corner possible before you use them yourself and run away. It is the only way to crush retarded mindsets like yours, by overwhelming them with information that you cannot dismantle or deny. All you have left are those insults I mentioned, and you doubled down by using one of them again, calling me "mentally unwell", not really different from "insane, schizo, take your meds" same shit.
And you should stop equating long texts with illness. Judge the content, even if it's oozing anger and impotence. Otherwise, you are just a trash human being who would never give its hand to the sick. You'd ignore them and let them die in a corner where nobody can hear them. That's how you make yourself feel better, by shelling yourself from what they have to say.
I don't give a fuck if I am mentally unwell, dude. You are like MAGA Pedophile Defender #2342 that says this shit to me. If being incredibly angry at the great amount of injustice and evil that plagues this world makes me "mentally unwell," so be it. I rather be that than a fucking coward with no morals. Also, I am a Mexican, my native tongue is Spanish. It's crazy that my English is better than yours, more coherent even when I am angry and "mentally unwell." So fucking embarrassing.
Here's 22 quick ones. Ukraine / Russia (2022) Claim: He repeatedly argued that Russia would not invade Ukraine and framed U.S. intelligence warnings as fear-mongering. What went wrong: Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb 24, 2022. Aftermath: Hasan acknowledged he was wrong and admitted he underestimated Putin’s willingness to invade, though critics note he continued minimizing Russian responsibility afterward. 2. Crimea Annexation (2014, revisited many times) Claim: Hasan said Crimea was “basically already Russia” and that the annexation reflected popular will. What went wrong: International law, UN resolutions, and later reporting confirmed the referendum occurred under military occupation and was illegitimate. Criticism: Even many left-leaning analysts called this an incorrect and overly pro-Kremlin framing. 3. “America Deserved 9/11” (2019) Claim: He said “America deserved 9/11” while trying (poorly) to argue about U.S. foreign policy blowback. What went wrong: The phrasing was indefensible and factually conflated civilian victims with government policy. Aftermath: He clarified that civilians did not deserve it, but the statement remains one of his most cited examples of being blatantly wrong in rhetoric and framing. 4. Police Abolition vs Crime Data (2020–2021) Claim: Hasan argued that police abolition or drastic defunding would not increase violent crime and dismissed early crime data as propaganda. What went wrong: Multiple cities that significantly reduced police presence saw measurable spikes in violent crime (even controlling for COVID effects). Aftermath: He later softened to “reallocation and reform,” implicitly conceding earlier absolutist claims were incorrect. 5. Housing / Landlord Claims Claim: He has stated that landlords “provide no value” and that rent is purely exploitative. What went wrong: Even left-wing economists generally acknowledge landlords do provide services (maintenance, risk absorption, capital access), even if the system is flawed. Criticism: This is considered an ideologically incorrect oversimplification, not supported by economic consensus. 6. Taiwan / China Framing Claim: Hasan has downplayed Taiwan’s sovereignty, often framing it as inevitably or legitimately part of China. What went wrong: This contradicts Taiwan’s democratic self-governance, public opinion, and international legal ambiguity. Criticism: He’s been accused (credibly) of repeating CCP talking points and ignoring Taiwanese public will. 7. Afghanistan Withdrawal (2021) Claim: He strongly argued the Taliban would moderate and that collapse scenarios were exaggerated. What went wrong: The Afghan government collapsed almost immediately; women’s rights were rolled back severely. Aftermath: He admitted being overly optimistic but minimized how wrong the prediction actually was. 8. Economics of “Just Print Money” Claim: At various points he dismissed inflation risks from large-scale stimulus, framing concerns as right-wing hysteria. What went wrong: Post-COVID inflation surged globally, validating many of the warnings. Criticism: Even progressive economists acknowledged inflation was underestimated. 9. Venezuela Coverage Claim: He has repeatedly defended or minimized failures of the Maduro government, blaming nearly everything on sanctions. What went wrong: Economic collapse began before major sanctions, due to mismanagement, corruption, and currency controls. Consensus: Sanctions worsened things — but were not the root cause, making his framing incorrect. 10. “I’m Not a Journalist” Defense Claim: When confronted with factual errors, Hasan often says he’s “just a streamer.” Why it matters: He presents himself as an authority, breaks down news daily, and influences millions — so this defense is widely viewed as evasive rather than valid. 11. COVID “Just a Flu” Framing (Early 2020) Claim: Early on, Hasan downplayed COVID’s severity and mocked panic as media hysteria. What went wrong: COVID caused over a million U.S. deaths and overwhelmed hospitals worldwide. Aftermath: He reversed course hard once data became undeniable, but the early dismissal is often cited as reckless. 12. Rittenhouse Trial Coverage (2021) Claim: He confidently stated Kyle Rittenhouse would be convicted and framed the case as legally obvious. What went wrong: Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges. Issue: Hasan relied heavily on moral framing while making incorrect legal predictions and misrepresenting self-defense law. 13. “Cops Don’t Stop Crime” Absolute Claims Claim: He repeatedly asserted police presence has no meaningful impact on crime rates. What went wrong: Criminology research shows police presence does reduce certain violent crimes, even if imperfectly. Criticism: Experts criticized this as absolutist and empirically false. 14. “NATO Provoked Russia” Determinism Claim: Hasan argued NATO expansion forced Russia into invading Ukraine. What went wrong: Multiple non-NATO neighbors were not invaded; Putin’s own writings and speeches emphasized imperial and nationalist goals. Consensus: NATO expansion may be a factor — not a causal inevitability. His framing overstated determinism. 15. “Cuba Is Doing Fine” Energy / Food Claims Claim: He minimized Cuban shortages and framed criticism as U.S. propaganda. What went wrong: Cuba experienced widespread blackouts, food scarcity, and mass emigration. Issue: Even left-wing human rights groups acknowledged serious internal failures unrelated to sanctions. 16. France Pension Protests (2023) Claim: He framed Macron’s pension reform as uniquely authoritarian and illegitimate. What went wrong: The reform followed existing constitutional mechanisms used repeatedly by past governments. Criticism: Selective framing ignored legal context to fit a narrative. 17. “Small Businesses Are Just Petite Bourgeoisie” Claim: Hasan argued small business owners are functionally no different from large capitalists. What went wrong: Economic data shows vast differences in power, margins, labor leverage, and risk. Criticism: Considered a Marxist simplification not supported by modern labor economics. 18. Japan “Xenophobia Is Overblown” Claim: He dismissed claims of systemic xenophobia in Japan as Western exaggeration. What went wrong: Japan has explicit exclusionary policies, housing discrimination, and immigration limits well documented by NGOs. Issue: Downplaying real discrimination to counter Western narratives backfired factually. 19. “The Market Always Overstates Inflation” Claim: Hasan repeatedly mocked inflation fears post-stimulus as capitalist fear-mongering. What went wrong: Inflation rose to 40-year highs in the U.S. and Europe. Aftermath: He later reframed inflation as “corporate price gouging,” sidestepping earlier denial. 20. “Media Lied About Supply Chain Collapse” Claim: He dismissed supply-chain concerns as manufactured panic. What went wrong: Global shipping delays, semiconductor shortages, and logistics bottlenecks persisted for years. Evidence: Confirmed by shipping indices, port congestion data, and manufacturing output declines. 21. Predicting GOP Electoral Collapse (2020–2024) Claim: Hasan repeatedly predicted long-term Republican collapse due to demographics. What went wrong: Republicans performed strongly in multiple midterms and expanded working-class support. Issue: Relied on outdated “demographics are destiny” assumptions. 22. “The Military Industrial Complex Controls Everything” Claim: He often implies U.S. foreign policy is almost entirely dictated by defense contractors. What went wrong: Foreign policy outcomes often contradict defense industry interests (e.g., Afghanistan withdrawal). Criticism: Seen as conspiratorial reductionism rather than serious analysis.
Bro, just send the ChatGPT chat link instead, or format this shit. Now I am the one who thinks you are mentally unwell for not using spaces and paragraphs properly, it looks rabid and intense.
You started with a silly one too, the Ukraine one, which I already debunked by saying ALL Americans held that position. They never took Putin and Kim Jong Un's threats seriously, "all bark, no bite". And for the rest, I will need more time to research them. A proper response deserves time. People who think that answering quickly equals intelligence are stupid, like Destiny or Ben Shapiro fans. They think they're smart just because they can respond quickly and louder, with so much anger that makes them look "confident", but I don't buy that shit. Good responses deserve time, you unloaded a fat one here, so, I am finally happy to see something worth replying to, god damn, it took so, so long, and you had to use AI, oh my god. It might take days, because I like to see the full context for each, not cherry picked bullshit his haters love to do.
Yeah, like I said, I don't care. So, I told chatgpt to give me 20 times Hasan was factually incorrect, it gave me 22, bad AI. I put approximately 30 seconds into this for your gratification. Now you can spend the next while fighting the good fight and conquering evil in a lemmy comment section. You're welcome. I'm going to continue chuckling.
I get paid for doing shit like this, bro. These moments are practice for my real job. You can continue chuckling about the fact you are still a virgin who will never have even a quarter of what the average baby boomer religious nutjob had at your age, though, like 7+ children, a big home, economic stability... Seeing someone like that rolling around a pond of shit thinking it's snow is always funnier to us. I will hold the answers to copy and paste them whenever other morons like you bring any of these up again, plus the new angles I will have to enrich my arguments further and make it even harder for monkeys like you to dismantle anything and help the core anti-elite ideas being pushed, so, nothing is wasted, if you think nobody will see these, that is. I know they won't, but I will still do it, because it still benefits us a lot.
I have a big home (nearly paid off, zero cash or property inherited), good amount of land, animals (production and companion), excellent income (engineer in a large power plant), long term live in girlfriend and a generally pleasant life. I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I'm not some virgin loser.
This is a claim he made in the heat of ACAB. I won't believe he was wrong for saying it, just angry, rightfully so. So many innocent black people, latinos and more have suffered because of your cops. It's the type of claim you know deep down is exageratted, but you still make it out of anger and disappointment. Your cops are still bastards, they are helping ICE. I don't give a fuck if outlandish claims like that are made about them. You are 100% a MAGA who says "ACAB?? 'All Cops Are Bastards'?! Fuck you! There are a lot of good cops!" Like shut the fuck up, you Nazi scum piece of shit.
Putin hates NATO, and a lot of the world is starting to do the same, because it's literally a form of American imperialism. What was the percentage again? Like 60% or so of NATO's power comes from the USA? Without the USA, NATO is kind of weak and a joke, so. Putin's main goal is to destroy you from within, like multiple Russian Generals from the Cold War would say, "We do not have to invade the United States, we will make it ours from within." Nikita Khrushchev. NATO is one of many factors, so, Hasan is not wrong, there's just a lot more to talk about that than just blaming NATO.
He never denied the shortages didn't exist, he's criticizing USA propaganda, which constantly paints countries like Cuba and Venezuela as failures, but then again, the USA had a lot of influence on that. You crippled their ability to trade so you could blame socialism years down the line, as you always do. You meddle with communists and socialists to make it harder for them to thrive, and then use them as "examples" of what never to be once they inevitably fail thanks to you. This is again another of his critiques of American imperialism you are trying to simplify because you are a MAGA who wants to keep believing in American propaganda.
Why the fuck do you support Macron raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 even if he used a legal tool to do it? What's next? You will hate Hasan for being against child labor? All because "people are living longer, and we capitalist don't wanna give them more money, so, we should just make them work for longer"? I don't give a shit if Macron used Article 49.3, to do corruption and harm to people is so easy when they wrote the rules themselves.
He is not wrong. I am the child of two baby boomer couples who were small businesses owners. One of them had the biggest house in my city at the time, it's a mansion. They did so by exploiting the working class. Pay the minimum wage, take advantage of uneducated people, and so on. They all believe billionaires are okay to exist, they see themselves as part of the elite, even when they are so far from it. This is something I see on almost every small business owner. They think they are the shit, and they treat poorer people like shit. Not as bad as the top 1%, for sure, but still, as he said, they are "Petite/Light Bourgeoisie". I am sure you yourself are one too, judging by the way you treat people online. You told me you don't give a fuck about reading people's thoughts, that is something so 'bourgeoisesque' to do, to treat those "below you" like vermin or less. You fucking moron. And you are probably not even a business owner, just a middle class fatass who will never know what is it like to live in actual poverty.
Again, too much hope on humanity. I too used to think Japanese were better people than some would say, very respectful, very responsible, but well, it turns out even Japanese are massive pieces of shit. I won't blame Hasan for this one, he probably loves anime too much, he was blinded. This is again something that should make you angry toward the Japanese government for influencing that attitude, not Hasan. But you are right here, Japanese people are fucking garbage, just like Americans. They are very similar in their xenophobia.
He was not wrong. Corporations did raise their prices to make more money our of pure greed, not because people were receiving a stimulus. It's still crazy you rather defend a world where everything gets more expensive, but minimum wages stay the exact same.
And he did that because the money to pay people what they are worth and produce, supply the demand, is there, but the rich rather you starve and die than give you more money. So yes, it is manufactured, and for some reason you are defending the rich, you have to be a MAGA serf.
Again, too much hope of humanity. He thought America would learn to not repeat the same mistake of electing Trump or republicans again, but yeah, he was wrong, Americans are actually that fucking stupid and evil. It is what it is, I won't blame him nor stop watching him just because he had too much hope for you, if anything, errors like these are what make me like him even more. He still believes in people, you don't, and I rather live in a world with people like Hasan than you, because they are more humane.
It is not a conspiracy. You profit so much off death and destruiction, and then rebuiilding what you destroyed. Just because your plans get foiled sometimes, like in Vietnam, the Korean Wars, Fidel Castro (Bay of the Pigs), Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, the Taliban, doesn't means you are putting the defense contractors' interests aside, you are simply procrastinating them and taking a breath before your next punch. That's how imperialists work, they know everything will not always go as flawless as they wish, sometimes they will fail, but none of that will stop them. You spent over 24 trillion USD in the military over the past decade. With only 10% of that budget, we could solve World Hunger for a decade too, according to plenty of sources that say we only need 93 billion USD a year to do that.
But no, instead, these are the numbers and the world you are fighting for:
During Covid:
Which seems more responsible there? And by A LOT.
Every year, to general conflict (rates per 100,000 inhabitants):
Which are safer? Qatar, China and Saudi Arabia.
Now, according to World Population Review, Our World Data, the UN and more regarding wealth inequality, the higher the number, the worse (Gini coefficient, 0 would mean everyone has the exact same amount of cash, so, expect it to be a minimum of 20~):
Now look at these 12 war crimes the USA has done:
Am I still supposed to believe America is good? If your goal is to make me despise it, I guess you are doing a good job then. Hasan is the one who wants these numbers to change for the better, you, on the other hand, you want them to keep getting worse. Hence the reason why you attack people like Hasan. You hate humanity, bro, probably because you are incredibly frustrated and never achieved your dreams, let alone a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age. It's alright, dude. People like you always pay back with their silent misery. If your life was that good, you'd not be here behaving like a 12 year old in the first place.
So, you are someone people will eat. That's it. The fertility rate in America is 1.5 right now, vs the baby boomer era which was 6.0+ (7.0+ in Mexico). People are getting their first home at 54 years old. They complain about RAM prices, about videogames raising their price for 10 bucks. You should know by now that silent readers are more important than you. 16 million empty houses, 700k+ homeless people in the country. What do you think people will do to you once they realize you have their money?
Anyways, here it is:
Do not bother saying you won't read this draft. I know you won't, and if you do, I don't care. It was pretty easy to vomit it, it took me like 40 minutes, and now I am more informed thanks to you giving me this fun "puzzle", so, thanks for that. It will be easier to address morons like you who focus on one or two of these from now on, with one-liners of course, because your brains are so atrophied that you cannot read past 2,000 words at all anymore.
Important detail before starting: Hasan has apologized a lot when he gets things wrong, unlike your typical right-wing influencers or some leftists ones (like Destiny) who never apologize for being heinous. Political commentators will always make predictions, get some right, some wrong, it doesn't matter, it's part of the job. The fact you could only get 22 of them, from someone who has livestreamed 8hrs everyday for like 6 years now, it's crazy, it's such a small amount, which means he gets A LOT right. He's constantly predicting shit about politicians, other influencers, and so on. Either way, a lot of those 22 are weak criticisms anyway:
All Americans thought this. Applying extra standards to Hasan makes you look like an imbecile more than morally superior or right.
You don't give a fuck about Crimea at all.
America did deserve 9/11. This is not even a wrong prediction, it's just a fact. You have caused so much death and destruction around the world, especially in my country, Mexico, and where my family comes from, the Middle East. You deserve a thousand of them.
So you support your racist cops? Your cops receive a lot of funding, a lot of power, they get trained by the IDF. They've killed so many people in the streets and they're supporting ICE. Keep giving them more money. I want America to destroy itself.
You think Landlords are truly worth what they make? My landlord is a fucking drunk who makes over 200,000$MXN a month (about 11,000 USD) because he owns like 40 apartments (that I know of) and doing the bare minimum when it comes to maintenance. He used to ignore issues I had like the AC not working for a whole winter. He'd wait months before fixing the boiler too, hoping I'd leave so he could replace me with another naive student who needs to be close to the university. Landlords are truly leeches, scum that give no value to society. Housing should not be owned by them, otherwise, that's why you have over 700k homeless people, and 16 million unused homes right now. You can easily give all your homeless a home, but you won't, because you rather suck landlords' dick, people who literally want a big portion of your work just so you can live in a home. Fuck that shit, Hasan is right here, landlords are garbage. They are not engineers, doctors, artists, nothing. The majority are lazy fucks whose jobs is to literally wait for your digital bank deposit every month, and that's it. Doing maintenance is not even hard, all they do is call someone else to do it and pay them, or worse, they don't do maintenance at all like my landlord, because people rarely have the balls, time and money to sue or report anything out of fear or because they're too humble to get someone in trouble. Landlords take advantage of that.
You don't give a fuck about Taiwan. I rather Taiwan stays with China than the US. If Taiwan wants to be free, that's on them, not you. The things Hasan has said about it are not bad, because he was trying to protect Taiwan from American imperalism. If you notice, you only bring those related to Russia and China, never Africa, India, Europe, SouthAmerica, where there are similar things happening, especially now with Venezuela. It's because you want to contain or control your enemies. That's why you fake this "superhero" persona Americans loooove to present. You literally still think China is worse than the US, and that's why you still think you should be the ones influencing or deciding what's best for those countries. Hasan simply gave you all the middle fingers, as he should, because you are a bunch of disgusting violent Nazis.
Yeah, he was wrong, but it's pretty gross that, first, you caused the Taliban to win, you caused so much pain and destruction in Afghanistan, you sent them back to the Stone Age, and Hasan thought there was still some redemption left in that group. I am sure the USA did this on purpose to further say "see?!?! muslims are animals!! Hasan is wrong! We must kill more muslims because they are stupid and barbaric!" This is what you are. An imperialist Nazi. This is why you attack Hasan for petty shit like still believing in humanity, and getting it wrong because there's actually more evil than good today. I don't blame nor think Hasan is worse or "always wrong" for having said shit like this. I see it more as denied hope. I used to have it for America for so long. Even after you elected Trump for the first time in 2016, I thought you wouldn't repeat the same mistake in the future again, that you'd learn how to become better, but guess what? I was also wrong. You are actually a bunch of irredeemable monsters who deserve every ounce of pain that is coming to you. And if you are not American, this still applies. This is global. Right wingers, incels, idiots who think their lies are above facts are grouping up and you won't do shit about it because you have too much empathy and 0 balls to at least punch a Nazi in the face. Does that mean I am always wrong? Nah. I just had too much hope on you.
I don't give a fuck about economic theories. Just like the Stock Market, that shit is literal gambling. It's always unexpected. He place his bet on businesses choosing expansion over raising prices, but he was wrong. "The government always 'prints' money when they want to go to war or save a big bank that's failing. Why is it only 'scary inflation' when we want to print money to give people healthcare or free college?" He was trying to point out what he saw as a double standard: that the government finds money for things it wants, but claims to be "broke" when it comes to things the people want. Again, he had too much hope on humanity here, a lot of economists did the same and got it wrong, especially because the pandemic was something new.
Hasan is not wrong here. The sanctions worsened things, and a massive root of all of Venezuela's problems are thanks to the USA meddling with it, like backing out coups as George Bush did in 2002, making Venezuela rely on US' oil consumption, funding opposite movements. Imperialist Nazis love people like you making these arguments. It's a shortcut to try and demonize Venezuela. You silently fuck with it to make it harder for them to live, and then you act all-mighty and like a superhero, saying "they need our help". You do the same shit with Mexico. You forced us to join the war on drugs, you armed narcos, you are their biggest consumer, and then, you point at us and say we suck because our narcos have too much power. People like you think it was all on us, that we created them, that we empowered and armed them (we didn't, we don't even manufacture guns, there's only like 1 or 2 gun factories here and they don't even manufacture the guns they use). So yes, most of the blame falls upon the USA here, not just Maduro. Maduro is a symptom of what the USA provoked there, which was part of your goal. Governments think in decades, not years. They planted the seeds, and now they are harvesting their crops. You're doing the same in Palestine too, and you did it with Afghanistan. In 10 or 20 years you will probably invade Afghanistan again, under the excuse that they are too broken, something you yourselves provoked.
He is not a journalist. He is a streamer. What a stupid ass point to bring up.
I don't give a fuck about this one. A lot of people, including doctors and health officials, did that. I remember hearing about Covid very early on, in November of 2019, and I told my parents about it, and months passed, everyone was like "meh" probably because we went through H1N1 just fine. However, it wasn't until March 2020 that it became a serious threat. I won't blame Hasan for this one either, because it is something a lot of people did. At least Hasan apologized and changed his mind, admitting that we should respect the lockdown. I will always prefer that over people who double down on questionable shit.
Again, he had too much hope on humanity and the law. This shit should make you angry toward your government, not Hasan. Getting this wrong is not a big deal, it says more about your country than Hasan. He admitted he got it wrong, but I still believe him when he says Kyle brought a gun to provoke. According to ICE, bringing a gun to a protest is highly illegal now, it makes you a terrorist, so, where were those standards for when Kyle did that himself? Bringing a gun to a BLM protest? What would right-wingers say if a massive group of black panthers showed up in January 6th with guns? The more I see your support for these dumbass points, the more I believe you are an actual MAGA, dude.
Good luck out there, I genuinely wish you the best.
You too, with ICE and the MAGAs.
You'll be on the news some day, suicide or homicide if you don't break from this. I stopped trolling you awhile ago. I'm tight with social workers in 4 states and one in Ireland. If you want resources I'll try to help you find them, you can message me privately.
