Hasan is a saint trying his best to make a capitalist understand why capitalism = bad.

He’s not gonna get it, bro. It’s not in his materialist interest.

TBH, Hasan is also not the best debater but every other “socialist” debatebro is a PatSoc chud so I don’t think they’ll do a better job.

He used to be better, but I think because Twitch as a platform allows you to ramble on and on, and you only have to respond to a chat which of course has a much harder time communicating, it worsens your debate skills over time.

This is not a debate. This is a podcast between friends.

This episode focused on this topic specifically because they went off the rails last week discussing China and Taiwan. I feel Ethan is actually trying to learn, or could be being adversarial to further the conversation, filling time, or most likely, a combination of these possibilities.

What is the Socratic Method?

Yea I do think he's trying to learn, but he obviously has some hangups that he just couldn't see beyond. It was frustrating listening to the "equity" sharing portion, I don't think Hasan did a good job explaining that at all (or maybe his view differs more from mine than I thought, idk)

I posted before I finished the whole thing, it was pretty tough to listen to at the end.

I legit cannot finish it. I have to stop every two mins and argue with imaginary Ethan. It also hurts cuz I like him so aaaaargh.

Watching it in Hasan's offline stream channel made it 10x more palatable, it made me detached enough that I could relax and point and laugh at the liberalism

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
