Two weeks out from the election it would be a terrible strategy to intentionally deplatform the largest leftist pipeline on the internet, especially considering the potential to radicalize scores of disillusioned liberals

If would also give Ethan and destiny exactly what they want, which is to silence all pro-Palestinian voices

Hasan's strategy of largely ignoring Ethan and using the drama as launching pad to educate on the crimes of Israeli apartheid is driving Klein up the wall, the man is spiraling

Replacing that with an online hunger strike just isn't efficient or likely to be effective in any way

lol Hasan with Hezbollah strategy of not responding to provocations and keeping cool at all times.

Two weeks out from the election

I'm starting to realize how much money and viewership Frogan, Vio, Denims, and Capri are about to lose out on from their month-long bans

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

I never said anything about Hasan going dark. I said not streaming on Twitch. He can stream in TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube.

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

Hasan won't be getting 70k-200k views on election day streaming on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube

Twitch is his platform, you can't just transfer an entire audience to other platforms overnight, it takes years to build up, having the platform is simply more important than making a well-meaning moral gesture that'll be forgotten in a month

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

Why exactly is covering electoralism more important than solidarity with pro-Palestinian voices being silenced by Twitch over racist lies?

[-] somename@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago

You're just projecting that these people, who he actually knows and talks to, want him to go offline, and that he's refusing them.

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Listen, just say you want your slop. I'm sure they want to be unbanned, too. Should anyone try to do anything about that, or should we just do whatever allows you to tune into Hasan on Twitch still?

[-] somename@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

I think you're naive if you think Hasan not broadcasting would commute their ban in any way.

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

Just say you care more about your slop. Is that so hard?

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

Because educating and agitproping a shit ton of disillusioned liberals on Palestine who are tuning in for the election is more important than online brownie points

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

Who is going to educate anyone when everyone pro-Palestinian is banned?

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

Well Hasan isn't banned, which is WHY he shouldn't ban himself

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Once again, why can't you go watch him on YouTube or TikTok? Just say you care more about your slop. Is that so hard? "I care more about watching my himbo on Twitch than standing up for Pro-Palestinian voices". No wonder BDS doesn't go anywhere in the US. Do you just like Sabra too much?

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

Once again, he has no political audience on YouTube or TikTok, Hasan is a pipeline, pipelines don't work when they ban themselves for the sake of meaningless gestures that only appeal to guilt ridden liberals

Hasan can stand up for pro-Palestinian voices far better by continuing to do what he's doing, which incidentally is pissing off scum like Ethan and Destiny

What you or I think of the "slop" doesn't matter in the least, all that matters is the millions of disillusioned liberals coming into contact with it and learning a thing or two, that is a far superior expression of solidarity than self-defeating nonsense that surrenders the discourse to the right-wing

A leftist with a major media platform is a precious thing, how on earth you don't recognize that is frankly beyond me

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

The ADL is targeting Hasan now. He ain't gonna have a platform for long if no one fights back against what's happening right now. "Millions of disillusioned liberal" he fucking streams to less people than a D-list conservative AM talk radio host. Do you know where most of the "disillusioned liberals" first come into contact with Hasan? On TiKTok and YouTube clips, those sites where you claim he has no base.

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

The ADL is targeting Hasan now. He ain't gonna have a platform for long if no one fights back against what's happening right now

So Hasan should beat them to it and do their work for them because "everyone banned = solidarity" he's fine where he is and frankly I don't believe any of the banned streamers would be impressed if he sabotaged himself the way you want him to

Frogan is literally a friend of his, if he continues to stream then we can assume she's fine with it, because duh, she's not known for being obsessed with pointless optics

Also Hasan's "base" on TikTok is exclusively generated by thirst trap clips and dog videos while his YouTube videos are literally replayed segments from his Twitch stream

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Oh, she's his friend? You mean like his friend QTCinderalla, who Ethan made a video making fun for QT for crying about internet perverts making AI deep fake nudes of her, and Hasan partner with him after that? If Frogan came out and said she would appreciate solidarity from Hasan, you would just chastise her an call her naive, too, because you care more about your slop.

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

nah, he should simply stream Bisan's documentary and any other available Gazan-filmed footage 24/7 without physically being online or saying a word

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

I like this idea
