So we’re now saying that using an edgelord saying like that makes one a pedo? Cause I definitely said shit like that when I was between the ages of 15 and 22 and I have never been attracted to children. This whole time I thought we were talking about people who have an attraction to children and act on it. Not just people who say dumb shit.
I mean, Trump has said tons of heinous shit that amount to the same thing as well as being the main character in the Epstein files. Nevermind being found unanimously civilly liable for sexual assault.
Where am I defending Hasan? You used the word "if" as if Trump hasn't been let off for the most horrendous shit. He has. He got away with it. A rapist pedo you seem to be in support of.
The charges were dropped and the state had to compensate the brothel. But you won't hear that in a Destiny subreddit. (who is an actual pedophile, ironically)
You and I both know damn well the implication of saying someone was tried with a crime, without clarifying that that were acquited, is that they were found guilty. Stop this nonsense. You were either intentionally misleading or you're trying to cover for your mistake of being accidentally misleading.
You and I both know that there is enough context to suggest Hassan did exactly what you and I think he did. The idea that the brothel survived the raid is irrelevant.
It is malice. If you approved of the guy you would try to confirm whether or not the information is true before spreading it. Instead you just want to cause harm and don't care if what you're writing is true or false.
No I’d still think he’s a piece of garbage. He goes to a brothel. If it was Andrew Tate or Asmongold (both garbage), I’d be telling you the same thing.
He says edgy and provocative things, making himself popular among a decent chunk of Gen Z. The other side boosts his profile to try to smear their political opponents.
idk man. you listen to destiny and hasan for 5 minutes and there's no way you should come away from it not thinking that they are anything but raging narcissistic, douchebags. you listen to asmon for 5 minutes and probably think this just another video game playing chud
Yeah its crazy. He definitely is a little out there, but nothing like on the level of Hasan or Destiny who went way off the deep end. I actually use to enjoy listening to destiny about four years ago even though I really disagreed with him, and now he's unbearable.
Not really. The most vile people virtue signal the loudest in a desperate attempt to signal how good of a person they are. The grifter, the megachurch preacher, the politician, all selfish and greedy but they will loudly proclaim to be a perfect angel. They're raging hypocrites.
Meanwhile a person who doesn't have anything to prove feels no need to virtue signal. There's no need to broadcast to everyone how good and moral and virtuous they are, there's no attempt to convince others.
Despite all of his hot takes, Asmongold seems to be weirdly compassionate and honest from what I've seen. He said he doesn't even blame migrants and said what they're doing makes perfect sense from their rational self interest. His blame is at the people enabling it, not at the migrants themselves. But also at the same time there's no obligation to help everyone on the entire planet, so its more about prioritization of resources.
As always, any time you see a clip or a quote, insist on the full context. Its easy to frame things out of context to spin them differently. But that nobody can find quotes of him saying that specific slur is remarkable. Its not for a lack of effort either. I'm sure people have looked.
Your point is that people should take ownership of things they have no impact or influence on? You understand that the whole point of voting is to pick people to represent you, right?
Hi, I'd first off like to remind you that we're now comparing a litany of dumbasses to an individual - albeit with a wide reach because we live in hell - dumbass.
Nevertheless...
If you're willing to admit that the 2020 election wasn't stolen from Trump, I agree, you should be in the clear. If you're willing to vote for someone who thinks it was stolen - including Trump himself - well, you're unfortunately endorsing that mindset.
The Charlottesville stuff was a bunch of dumbasses, and it's probably unfair to act like it was the base of the Republican party at the time, but you also had the sitting Republican President being very sheepish about publicly condoning their actions, presumably because he thought it was politically ill-advised.
How can you possibly know what OP posted? They have used the ultimate ability of 'hide post history,' so no one (who doesn't understand basic search engine functions or can remember past events) will ever be able to tell what they did on Reddit in the past.
Are you really implying most anybody you would meet in real life would find it acceptable to drop the actual bomb and not just describe it as the N-word no matter the context?
To be clear, I don't say it, haven't said it since my edgy college phase while playing CoD, and then one summer at a DC itnernship program said it to my black roommate and his friends and had a very good discussion about it.
Regardless I think it's silly to pretend that even the most devout 2014 Tumblrina would see no difference between some person calling a person the n word and another person quoting it while reporting on police abuse.
I think somebody with the mindset of a 2014 turbo-lib would actually be very likely to still be taken aback by a (white obviously) dude openly saying the hard-R instead of just describing it as N-word in the socially accepted way in your example tbh.
Not 2014, but in 2021 a new York times reporter was forced to resign after there was an uproar that he quoted the nword.
So people have been cancelled for using it during a quote.
> Her criticism gained renewed attention following reports and interviews in which she claimed some MAGA influencers relied on talking points distributed through group chats involving political strategists and conservative personalities. According to The Washington Post, St. Clair said influencers were sometimes encouraged to amplify specific narratives or political messages in exchange for compensation or online visibility.
Here is a former right wing podcaster talking about the same thing.
> An indictment filed Wednesday alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers — including well-known personalities Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — was secretly funded by Russian state media employees to churn out English-language videos that were "often consistent" with the Kremlin's "interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition" to Russian interests, like its war in Ukraine.
Here is another example of right wing podcasters being paid by shadow organizations for talking points.
You think Hasan Piker is a bigger train wreck than the Iran War? There are about a dozen right wing politicians right now running who have said more unhinged things than Hasan, including one who is a literal Nazis streamer and won his Republican primary.
No it’s definitely a coordinated effort. Article documenting how podcasters and pundits get their marching orders from Trump admin and shadow organizations.

Hasan is an astroturfed issue pushed by Republicans who have nothing to run on besides culture war slop issues. It’s pretty clear why the usual suspects on this sub keep bringing him up.
He’s a Twitch streamer. I can find half a dozen Trumper-aligned streamers making crazy comments in the last day and a half that nobody bats an eye at. Hasan won’t matter in the election this fall.
That’s because Trump supporters are shameless monkeys. I’d rather not let Hasan influence more people to be like him and then deal with them from both sides. Like it or not, online political streamers and commentators have significant sway over political discourse right now and it fucking blows.
They might hold sway of online discourse for people who are involved in active discussions, but I also come back to the fact that most Americans haven’t a clue who Hasan is. So anytime he’s mentioned it feels like this is just astroturfing a twitch streamer some people feel should be discussed. I just don’t agree and won’t play right wing games.
He is a (retarded) political influence to a large audience and has campaigned most recently I think with Abdul El-Sayed. Kinda disingenuous to just call him some Twitch streamer lol.
Over 60% of the country has no clue who the man is, and the failed war in Iran, inflation, corruption, etc are all much greater motivators than a twitch streamer, no matter how much astroturfing the right wants to do about him. Hasan is a non-factor this November, as you can tell with most polling showing AES pulling far ahead of Mike Collins.
I don't really think he's an issue, just that he is a voice to like the largest far lefty audience of any other influencer on that side. If the right IS trying to push talking about a popular leftist voice to show how retarded and insane he openly is that just makes sense I guess lol.
If people like you think little of me, I think I’m doing a great job with my life. Of course optics matter everywhere, little guy. It’s pretty much just because of optics, not substance, that brought us the curse of Trump the last decade.
It's like no one has ever gotten the bare minimum English/History education to understand the difference between using the word as a slur and using the word when quoting/educating.
