Let's not do campism for a fucking streamer. He should be criticized insofar as he is incorrect, and how communists talk to each other is different from how they should prioritize what may be a salient line of discussion with the public. No amount of knee-jerk contrarianism to the Zionist press makes internally banning criticism of literally anyone make sense.

Edit: and even in terms of public messaging, the idea that criticizing Hasan at all is impermissible is completely ridiculous.

This is my less-ironic stance, and the core point of my post

True, good thing I'm not actually a immam or anyone with actual authority (it would be be unpopular across the board)

This is my less-ironic stance,

"This is my motte, my bailey is just ironic"

Also see my edit. Sorry for not being clear enough there.

As Hasan would say, "say it with your fucking chest" instead of hiding behind the specious idea that it's okay to take ridiculous attitudes because you aren't able to command people to follow you. Are you arguing for it or aren't you?

Reminder that Hexbear is one of the most irony drenched communities on the internet, so coming at someone with a firm "be less ironic!" comes off a bit weird. My communication style is adjusted to my audience. I find it unfortunate that you're going on the offensive when I am clarifying a point of agreement between us.
