everything i learn about streamers is against my will

All I need to know about Graham Planter is he was an AmeriKKKan soldier, a combat veteran, and mentions being a veteran in his political ads like it's a positive rather than an albatross around his neck.

I have a very simple and effective heuristic for AmeriKKKan soldiers and especially "combat veterans" who are not World War 2 vets:

If they're good, they apologize anytime they bring it up, and they never act like it was a good thing. If they're bad, they treat it positively (or, if they treat it positively, they're by definition bad).

Graham treats it positively. Therefore, fuck him.

Graham platner is the debt conscious gestapo from the kelly strip

Also free tibet from what

In what world does one see posts from the guy himself like this (especially the last paragraph) and then somehow convince yourself "oh yeah he's my leftist anti-imperial guy"? Real tired of Bernie bros and dipshit American "leftists" like Hasan

"Twitter lefties" is now Hasan's way of saying tankie isn't it lol

"Leftists" who worship or give endless grace to US war vets(while dismissing groups like Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorists and regarding them to be just as evil as the IDF) are so damn annoying. Can't wait to see this result in the entire Hasan fanbase to start stanning for said vets and ignoring their complicity in imperialist violence

I have a funny feeling he won't be met with the same resistance that these DSA candidates are getting hit with

And that right there is the true litmus test, will the DNC back him or not, Zohran passed OUR test by failing the DNC's test

If this fuckin Iraqi killing merc gets a DNC endorsement, then Hasan better correct himself

i do not like this graham platner guy, i'd like to hear him actually recant any support for having been in the imperial fascist death machine and that seems pretty unlikely.

that said, people that watch https://hexbear.net/post/6021351 this guy's version of slop videos relentlessly and then parrot them everywhere are genuinely annoying parasocial ultras. he wields his platform in a way that often encourages pointless left punching and posting instead of going outside and organizing.

Banning BE fans seems pretty based as of late, dudes a transphobe

That's such a weird list of places to free

Every so often I'll click around a Hasan video and just go when I listen to him and think "this guy is a driving voice behind the online left" lol, but I can say the same thing about like all of Cum Town/Chapo/every Youtube, Twitch.tv, Twitter, your average Hexbear leftist.

And sure, I think Hasan is right to some degree (at least from the like 3-4 minutes I watched) where he's talking about how the US left has 'nothing' so it is not necessarily completely meaningless to participate in electoralism, and as a result you do sometimes have to overlook certain parts of a candidate's beliefs/platform/past/upbringing/etc if you want to achieve any movement towards the left in this country. But I don't think Graham Platner is a candidate to really do that for lol.

For how much he's sucked about Israel and half a dozen other things - if you tell me "I am supporting Bernie still because I think he's our best hope at having a somewhat left-of-center driving voice in American politics", it'll be hard for me to really have a true problem with that. I personally probably wouldn't go out of my way to canvas for the old fuck or bother to go to another rally of his, but if you think throwing your money/time/support behind him is how we'll get some crumbs of leftist policies in this country - go for it.

But some random ex-Blackwater retired Iraq/Afghanistan vet 100% military disability oyster farmer's first campaign ever?? It is like online leftists haven't learnt from their most recent mistake in candidates. [This would be where the one of John Fetterman emotes I KNOW we have would go, but the godawful tagging means you get stuff like when you type 'fetterman' because anything with 'fe' or 'er' or 'an' or even a single letter gets displayed and of course, half of the emojis have the vaguest names imaginable...ANYWAYS)

maybe Donald Trump is the greatest socialist of our time.

Uphold Gavin Newsom Thought

Sorry, could I get some time stamps? Not really a fan of this guy, and I don't think I can watch him for 20 minutes straight, so if you could post timestamps for the offending content, that'd save me a lot of time.

Hasan's ableism is a legitimate critism, probably his biggest flaw IMO. Even r/hasan constantly shits on him for it. I wish he wouldn't use this because I suspect its just Gamer slur he should have grown out of it and its not excusable.

I get it, he's doing the populist thing, but we should be clear that populism isn't socialism by it self. If I have that wrong then maybe Donald Trump is the greatest socialist of our time.

I don't think you disagree with him though, he clearly states mostly the same thoughts as you do here @9:40.

He is literaly telling his chat how the online left view him and others as some revolutionary leader or movement builders when the reality is that clearly they're not and his only real hope is marginal improvements. So very clearly he is not supporting someone because they just socialists alone. Its obvious given how close he is with Bernie/AOC etc...

At the current global stage where there is no global socialist movement and the left rethoric is "multipolarity is good when global south fascists get together because they resist the US ~~even when they clearly don't~~" then he is right to say we're cooked and not just the US. There is no USSR and no real hope for any socialist movement until material conditions deteriorate a lot more.

He even concedes you can disengage from electorialism and Zohran if you want too.

The only real commentary on this video is TL;DR "he clears the Gaza genocide bar" and even though that is a low bar, its enough to give the benefit of doubt given the situation. This random guy is definitely irredeemable based on principles alone for sure, but the point here is to create pressure by having any sort of alternative political candidate against the genocide. For now the standards are low but once more and better candidates appear you'd obviously pick them over any random pro-Palestine grifter or so the logic goes.

Bernie etc are shit because they have a proven record of being shit. Is the new random guy saying marginally good things this week also shit? Yes probably, but keep in mind he is not speaking to people like us but the average person that already lost all hope. I don't particularly care about lesser evilism politics, but it is always an argument to be made.

I think that's a poor choice of words in your title but maybe I'm wrong. I'm wrong all the time.
