Many people on lemmy.ml deeply respect and admire authoritarian governments and organizations.
Iran, China, North Korea, Soviet Union…
The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.
Iran hangs homosexuals. Iran shot 30,000 people in less than than 2 weeks. The Soviet Union had to build a fucking Iron wall to prevent people from escaping. The Soviets lied about the Chernobyl nuclear explosion. China censors the internet. China wants to eliminate Islam. North Korea is a totalitarian hellscape. Watching anime is a crime.
Why is lemmy.ml so fascinated with authoritarians?
They just hate me because I have a basic grasp of economics and I don’t think businesses and landlords are inherently evil.
Who is Hasan? Some dumbass tiktoker?
Literally every capitalist theory, from Adam Smith’s to Mill, from Hayek to Henry George:
Landlords are inherently evil.
Streamer they worship like maga worship trump.
Why do right wingers and “both sidesers” always imagine the left uplifts cults of personality like they do? Lefties mostly don’t care about this guy. His fanboys stan the guy pretty hard but his fanboys ain’t “the left.”
I am left, I just didn’t like how he shocked his dog.
But you care about the guy. The left at large doesn’t know who he is in the first place and the only people I ever see bring him up are zionists and maga.
And just to be clear, I only care that he shocked his dog. I agree with him on many policy level things. But good job trying to purity test me, this is why progressives can’t get shit off the ground, cause of reactionaries like you
We can’t get shit off the ground because none of you vote in primaries.
Still making shit up I see. I again have a pubic history of saying I vote in primaries. How does it feel to be wrong at every turn?
Congratulations, want a cookie? Doesn’t change the fact we don’t get shit done because progressives largely either don’t vote or protest vote.
Lol, I have a very public and robust comment history that shows you are completely full of shit.
Then you’re chronically online. Nobody serious gives a shit about some YouTuber.
Lol, the completely irony and lack of self awareness in this comment when you replied to my within minutes midday on a Tuesday.
Here’s a mirror you need to take a little longer than a glance into.
And since you’re freaking at straws, let me take away one more for you to reach for. I actually volunteer to canvas for local progressive candidates. So I’ll be taking that cookie now.
What dafuq have you done for your community lately besides bitch online?
Volunteer for campaigns, phone bank, door to door. Doesn’t amount to much because the area is mostly maga and collaborators aren’t part of my community, they’re traitors. Unfortunately most of the supposed progressives and leftists still think third party is viable. So here we are.
Why did he shock his dog? Not that there is any reasonable justification, I just want context.
During a stream, his dog moved off the platform she was supposed to stay in. Hasan told her to stop and reached for something off screen, followed by her flinching with a loud yelp. So it looked like he shocked her, and since Hasan is a popular streamer people made a lot of memes about it. I don’t watch Hasan, but she had apparently been laying there for 4 hours.
I don’t know if it was ever truly confirmed but I believe he did it. Hasan denied it and showed the collar the next day, claiming it was a “vibration” collar instead. But others claimed it was a shock collar that had had its prongs removed. And later he said that she wasn’t even wearing the collar, despite that contradicting his previous statement and it being on video.
She got up from the bed that was in frame, to walk out of frame.
right, so an abusive narcissistic POS person they wish they could be.
make sense he’d abuse his dog rather than train it. god forbid you like… have empathy or compassion for another living thing and use that to bond with it… lol
