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:

  1. All Americans thought this. Applying extra standards to Hasan makes you look like an imbecile more than morally superior or right.

  2. You don't give a fuck about Crimea at all.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. He is not a journalist. He is a streamer. What a stupid ass point to bring up.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

[–] PepperoniNipple@lazysoci.al 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.
