Ben Mankiewicz is good, mainly because he got the gently caress away from TYT as fast he could and now works for Turner Classic Movies as their main programming host.

That positive connotation only applies maybe in Turkey and everywhere else it's just the name of the political party that forced Turkey into WW1 and performed a genocide. Same way some ultra-white people might consider crusade a positive word.

That Wikipedia description is quite selective, given that it's the only one of six definitions on the source page that doesn't include the words "nationalist", "insurgent", or "aggressively".

Look, if they wanted dems to help them they should've done more endless, nebulous organizing instead of trying to pressure politicians to do stuff. But not too aggressively, or too loudly, or where people can see or hear, or impolitely or

"Young Turks" has become a generic term but if you're people of Turkish descent who deny the genocide maybe choose a different name. Feel like the people that'd know about the actual party would know the generic usage as well (and the latter is probably more widely known).

From the internet rumblings I've heard against him is that he doesn't pay his editors and he had this weird misogynist when he said that Destiny's gf/wife only regurgitates Destiny's opinions instead of thinking for herself and that one time he called a female cnn reporter a oval office. And he said that the US deserved 9/11, which led to some backlash and him having to reverse his position on that.

I have close to 0 overlap with Hasans part of the internet, but those were the things that managed to reach me. No clue how accurate/true they are.

Hasan is a dumbass (years back I remember someone describing him as "morally lucky") like every other popular political online commentator - left, center, or right. What he meant by the "America deserves 9/11" was correct but all these guys are so bad at articulating their thoughts they blurt out some stupid poo poo they have to explain later.

Ok this is a lie CSPAM does definitely have a contingent that are all in on the Dote greenways type culture warriors. Especially if it gives them a chance to cancel someone.

Peter Coffin really gets on my nerves because they love to play leftier-than-thou games, but as far as I know they don't actually engage in any leftist/progressive activities outside of producing Content. I feel like if you call other people "breadlets" and don't at least work at a soup kitchen or something you're a massive hypocrite.

Hasan Piker is easily the best Rudeboy Leftist, by which I mean people who convert right-wingers by using rhetorical tactics and attitudes that right-wingers respond to. If it's true that he doesn't pay his editors then that really sucks. :(
