    Hasan gets millions of views every day across Twitch and YouTube

    Congratulations?

    If I was the nepo nephew of a genocide supporting podcaster who got me in on the ground floor…

    Well, I probably still wouldn’t be hypocritical enough to pretend to be a socialist from a million dollar plus West Hollywood mansion, but hey, some people are grifters.

    Dude is ascending beyond being “just some Twitch streamer”

    I was trying to be nice…

    If I wasn’t, I’d say he’s probably right wing and just trying to divide the left…

    Edit:

    People might not know:

    At the center of the Young Turk Revolution stood the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) (Ittihad ve Terakki Jemiyeti) formed in 1895. Its members came to be known as Ittihadists or Unionists. The most ideologically committed party in the entire movement, the CUP espoused a form of Turkish nationalism which was xenophobic and exclusionary in its thinking. Its policies threatened to undo the tattered fabric of a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society.

    Hasan’s uncle founded “The Young Turks” podcast thing after being on Sirius.

    Hasan isn’t some kid that got famous for his views or even talent, he’s a fucking nepo baby, shit that his fans supposedly are opposed to.

      It’s funny that you apparently have a bunch of bullet points handy regarding this unimportant streamer lol.

        Also “dividing the left”? Big red flag there.

        American Liberals are not left wing, no matter how many times Fox News calls you “radical leftists”.

        Also acting like Hasan’s twitch is only watched because of his uncle is a wild strawman to try and defend, especially when he’s broken from the viewpoints of that show and of his uncle many times., especially lately.

        But sure, we’ll sit around and wait for a poor nobody, a diamond in the rough, to rise up and the Second Coming of Jesus™ to “unite the left” and in the meantime “nothing needs to fundamentally change” right? I’m disinterested in fighting this nonsensical, DGG-style argument any longer. This horseshit is on the level of “Hasan shocks his dog on stream”, it’s easily verifiably false and honestly it reeks of ulterior motive. Have a good one.

        Uhhh…

        Yeah man, I know about shit before I talk about it?

        Why would it better if I didn’t know what I was talking about?

        I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make logical.

        Did you just feel like insulted your favorite twitch streamer so now you had to “insult” me by teasing me about checks notes again, being informed?
