Hassan has had some particularly shit takes himself. Though honestly I'm not aware of a political YouTuber that hasn't. That said if I stumbled into a disagreement between Hassan and asmon accidentally. It doesn't matter what day or what topic it is. I would side with Hassan long before asmon.

Asmon is the definition of a disgusting, unkempt ignorant incel armchair quarterback. Despite where Hassan and I might sometimes disagree. He is actually educated. Has some idea of what he's talking about. And is generally out there doing the right thing. So of course it makes a lot of sense that so many people would latch on to a stupid dumbass speaking with confidence over someone who actually knows what they're talking about. That is after all how Trump got where he is.

Strictly speaking they aren't our enemies. Mentally ill as fuck? Absolutely. But our enemy is the one that manipulates these people. Stirring up their mental illness and turning them on us. Believe me our enemy is watching comfortably as we injure ourselves. Republicans eagerly egging it on as it suits their own ends. And Democrats not really caring to do enough about it.

Yep all anyone has to do is look at popular culture right now. Most of the people who Proclaim to be Libertarians can't even be consistently libertarian. To the point where honestly they're just capitalists. Then you get people on the right claiming to be anarchists as well. With similar outcomes. They're just capitalists under another moniker. If there's one thing capitalists and pulls alike love to do is double-speak/newspeak. And redefining terms to mean whatever they want.

They need to be. They won't. But they need to be. The fact that he is basically immune from prosecution as president. Thanks Supreme court. Basically makes it inevitable that a coup is building. There is no way he will risk losing. To be held accountable for his actions. He is Americans need to arm and prepare ourselves. Shit is only starting to go sideways. It's going to get so much worse. Extremely fast. We're already seeing it.

Yes. Which isn't a deal-breaker. But definitely a limiter in application. Something like this or Briar would be useful for example on large marches or public protests. Though maybe not this with apparently how insecure and poorly thought out it is. Which I suppose is on brand for Dorsey.

Considering that he is only famous in very narrow circles. And even those like myself who knew of him from his wow days. Had no fucking clue he was somehow twitch's top political streamer? I'd say those are all important things to get out there. I mean like what the fuck. What the actual fuck. There is no hope for Humanity.

Yep, I legit have no beef with anyone that's against the wests manipulation/exploitation of other countries/groups. Just those that would use it as an excuse or reason for others to do the same. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Yeah, ultimately they are just hypocritically anti west. It's never any deeper than that. Even when they try to deflect claiming you haven't read enough theory. It's like brother, have you ever thought critically? I've read most of C.S. Lewis's books of fiction. But I'm not constantly expecting any lions or witches in my wardrobe.

So just capitalists really.

I believe they are using it in the sense of economic liberalism. What today we just call capitalism. Encompassing Republicans, national Democratic leadership, and those that larp as anarchist or libertarian while being capitalist.
