Uk zionist groups not jewish groups.

[-] BaraCoded@literature.cafe 7 points 1 week ago

Sounds more like "UK zionist lobby" calls for blocking HP's visit.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 7 points 1 week ago

Hassan Piker is only far left if you're far right.

[-] Wudi@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Isn't this the guy who praises China and the CCP?

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth -1 points 1 week ago

It's CPC, and China does a lot right. But people would rather keep CIA narratives than actually learn. Finally, because someone can acknowledge what another nation has done and is doing doesn't make them "far left." Western people have been prodded so far right, so slowly that the collective memory of what US "right" and "left" is*, the common purview is anything left of Reagan is "far left."

Added a word.

China is an authoritarian dictatorship, so if it does anything right that really doesn't matter.

Not that the US are better but what a wild stance to just decide to take unprompted

[-] mrdown@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

The usa is a democracy that is responsible of ton of coups, creation of failed states and murder of millions of people all over the world

[-] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Yes, that's correct

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 0 points 1 week ago

What's wild is blind hatred based on everything I just listed.

[-] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Is it blind hatred to recognize that china is authoritarian? Lol

[-] mrdown@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

To dismiss any good thing about China yes it is.

[-] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 1 points 1 week ago

When did that happen?

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth -4 points 1 week ago

China is quite possibly less authoritarian than Western governments. All states have and use authority. Better it's used for the citizens' housing, health, food, transportation needs than Elon and Bezos.

Edit: also while discussing authoritarianism, perhaps check the thread title and read the article. This is what Western authoritianism is for and spends.

[-] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca -2 points 1 week ago

Authoritarianism is when people are allowed to petition the government with their grievances

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 1 week ago

Way to deliberately miss the point. The point is ethnonationalism and genocide and apologia/encouragement.

[-] Junkasaurus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yes China does all of those things. Really awesome to see you’ve challenged your own flawed reality so quickly 😄

[-] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 0 points 1 week ago

Uhhhhh...... No see I DONT want to encourage those things. That's why I don't like china

hes pretty much a resistance grifter though, he comes from the burgeoise, his turkish family is wealthy asf, plus cenk ughyger got him a job right out of college on tyt. his fans only like him because they think hes attractive. plus his multimillion dollar home dint come from his own pocket.

[-] king_comrade@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

He's very open about his financial security though, it's not like he cosplays as working class. How much money does he actually make? Does he push much merch and shit? I usually only see him in clips.

[-] Valuy@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

He said “America deserved 9/11" and Crimea is Russian.

Piker is a tankie clown

The shit the US has been pulling around the world starting decades before 9/11 might have been the reason someone wanted to punch back at the bully.

But I do not agree regarding Crimea.

[-] king_comrade@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

The Americans that died didn't deserve it, but the USA absolutely deserved 9/11 and honestly a whole lot more. They are a state sponsor of global capitalist terror.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

That is not why Binladen and his gang did 9/11. He thought it would trigger a mass conversion to Salafi Islam and a grand new caliphate. But nobody wanted that retro-medieval bullshit any more than they want the US throwing its weight around.

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

What gave him the justification to do it other than USA's own actions creating hate against the country amongst people in the middle east?

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

America did deserve 9/11, though. Most of the Americans that died probably didn't.

[-] Appleseuss@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Except he didn't.

[-] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

I thought the consensus was that America definitely deserved 9-11; to be honest with all the shit america has pulled i feel they should have more blowback. but what do i know? I'm not american.

[-] it_wasnt_arson@awful.systems 1 points 1 week ago

I can only wish for a less internet-poisoned figurehead of anti-genocide activism, but it's still amazing to me how a man who spends all his waking hours in front of a webcam is enough of a big deal to be considered a national security threat. This is a man who has spent years in a self-imposed hell of nonstop news clips and hate chatter clapbacks, constantly under attack and arguing with people who hate him, and now the anger is actually coming from a place of power. Hasan is like a guy made in a vat to get in a loud, public fight with the ADL.

Funny how for all the quotes they pulled, the article couldn't dig out any instances of the more common traps leftist criticism of Israel falls into, like slipping into ZOG/"Khazar elite" talking points or rants about how murder is "their" culture. It's honestly just laughable at this point seeing organizations like the ADL try to argue that anyone pointing out the obvious fact that Hamas aren't baby-eating Islamist rape demons is engaging in religious hatred while geo-targeted online ads from Christian Zionist organizations blast me with "Jesus the messiah will save you" daily. This whole "debate" is a joke, but Hasan is an experienced clown, so he's in his element.
