We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I call on every decent country in the world to prevent israelis (or anyone who has visited Israel) from entering your country.

The website blocks VPN, and archive.is decided to introduce phone verification so sadly I cannot read the article to verify. Are the organizations in the article not Jewish?

Hassan Piker is only far left if you're far right.

Isn't this the guy who praises China and the CCP?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's CPC, and China does a lot right. But people would rather keep CIA narratives than actually learn. Finally, because someone can acknowledge what another nation has done and is doing doesn't make them "far left." Western people have been prodded so far right, so slowly that the collective memory of what US "right" and "left", the common purview is anything left of Reagan is "far left."

China is an authoritarian dictatorship, so if it does anything right that really doesn't matter.

Not that the US are better but what a wild stance to just decide to take unprompted

[–] mrdown@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The usa is a democracy that is responsible of ton of coups, creation of failed states and murder of millions of people all over the world

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Yes, that's correct

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What's wild is blind hatred based on everything I just listed.

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 1 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Is it blind hatred to recognize that china is authoritarian? Lol

hes pretty much a resistance grifter though, he comes from the burgeoise, his turkish family is wealthy asf, plus cenk ughyger got him a job right out of college on tyt. his fans only like him because they think hes attractive. plus his multimillion dollar home dint come from his own pocket.

he comes from the burgeoise

So you ignore Marx and Engels because of their bourgeois origins?

We are all in an evil society and we're all tainted by it. Nobody's pure. And you can take my word for it because of my own working-class origin.

He's very open about his financial security though, it's not like he cosplays as working class. How much money does he actually make? Does he push much merch and shit? I usually only see him in clips.

[–] BaraCoded@literature.cafe 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Sounds more like "UK zionist lobby" calls for blocking HP's visit.

I can only wish for a less internet-poisoned figurehead of anti-genocide activism, but it's still amazing to me how a man who spends all his waking hours in front of a webcam is enough of a big deal to be considered a national security threat. This is a man who has spent years in a self-imposed hell of nonstop news clips and hate chatter clapbacks, constantly under attack and arguing with people who hate him, and now the anger is actually coming from a place of power. Hasan is like a guy made in a vat to get in a loud, public fight with the ADL.

Funny how for all the quotes they pulled, the article couldn't dig out any instances of the more common traps leftist criticism of Israel falls into, like slipping into ZOG/"Khazar elite" talking points or rants about how murder is "their" culture. It's honestly just laughable at this point seeing organizations like the ADL try to argue that anyone pointing out the obvious fact that Hamas aren't baby-eating Islamist rape demons is engaging in religious hatred while geo-targeted online ads from Christian Zionist organizations blast me with "Jesus the messiah will save you" daily. This whole "debate" is a joke, but Hasan is an experienced clown, so he's in his element.
