He would like to see thr homeless of LA mulched and also I guess he was lovely during his time as a Disney executive in an artistic sense but that's unsurprising because executives in media companies are usually uniformly poo poo

he definitely got his career from connections there, but afaik hasan and cenk are estranged. he dunks on cenk's twitter meltdowns on stream

Theyre not estranged lol.

Cenk and Hasan both sold out years ago (kind of like AOC), and by far the worst thing about them is how they pretend otherwise. Their roles are to get votes for the Democratic Party that is literally the purpose of their careers now.

They did. That others unmade their contributions to the betterment of mankind does not change that they did it in the first place.

I'm not at all into the TYT lore, was it ever so radical that you could argue that shilling for the democrats is selling out? Or does it just look like that because you assume someone using the rhetoric Hasan does used to be more radical, and evolved into a sell-out? Rather than say, a shill leaning into "radical" rhetoric because it sells?

Before 2016 TYT believed what they preached. Then the prospect of a Trump Presidency broke Cenks brain so much he demanded a vote for :shillary:. Trumps inevitable win broke him further, and that is when he sold out for millions to big DNC money in order to stop Orange MegaHitler. He also thinks American Democracy is real despite all evidence to the contrary.

I mean they're all entertainment products. Maybe it's good in some abstract sense that there are more left-ish voices out there that might pull a few directionless young men away from the alt-right but no one is "doing praxis" or whatever. hasan or the chapo guys or truanon or whoever might have some insights or interesting takes on something or other but they're still just making an entertainment product. you're listening for/paying for the feeling of being right or being mad at the dems or laughing at a bit.

it's not bad, that's what this stuff is for. you should just be aware that it's for you, nothing in the wider world is being fixed by it. if it galvanizes you to go actually do something in the real world that's very cool, but that's again just an individual thing.

Alright. Hasan doesn't appear to have had his brain broken in the same way though, being a Trump-loving Bernie Bro.

people trolling him by @'ing him in chat with something that'll set him off. he intentionally looks for bad comments so he can fly into a fury for a bit. they call it 'stunlocking' him. it sucks up time so hasan's fine with it, a poisonous symbiotic relationship

Still totally mind boggling to me that people enjoy this stuff though. I get if you are insanely invested in esports (lol) or whatever you could appreciate video gamers you followed like it was spring training or whatever but why would you watch if you're not all in on that stuff? Like if you went to someone's place and they just talked at you and played video games while you sat there and watched you'd never go back. or at least I wouldn't. I don't know man I guess this is what getting old is. millions of people love this stuff and watch it every day and it just feels like the biggest, stupidest waste of time ever to me. at least watching paint dry would give you a chance to meditate and introspect but this stuff just fills all your channels with noise. don't get it.
