    Their (stupid) argument is that helping Hasan through twitch makes bezos wealthier. We’re not allowed to make money or engage in anything owned by big capitalists even if there’s no alternative or we’re just helping the enemy. We should just will an independent economy into existence.

      You’re more than welcome to get your bread as a Marxist leninist. Hassan is on a whole other level of exploitation. But again, you guys are in a cult. Now go cry to your little Twitch streamer boy. He might have some hot superficial rage bait today, is he on yet?

          Hassan is on a whole level of opulence and capitalism spending. From jewelry to designer brands to his Porsche to million dollar Beverly hills home… I mean… Who ISN’T he exploiting haha

              Way to intentionally - it has to be at this stage - miss the point I made. Owning things is not bad. There is owning to live and then there’s parading designer clothes and jewelry in front of destitute people in Havana while parading as a socialist. He’s Alex Jones. A little more clever, but in the end he’s just another Alex Jones. And you guys gobble it up.

        I don’t watch him, I just think avoiding platforms owned by billionaires is impossible for everyone and it makes no sense to judge him for that

          That’s fair. But Hassan relishes in extreme opulence and luxury. The whole persona is a grift

        Socialism is not a poverty cult. I have issues with some of Hasan’s more liberal takes, but owning nice things is not a problem.

          Why do you guys keep bringing up this dichotomy? There’s owning nice things, and there’s indulging in disgusting levels of gluttony.

          It doesn’t matter either way. Hassan is a grifter. It’s Alex Jones of the left. Nothing substantial

            We bring it up because Hasan isn’t exploiting people for his wealth, and you’re misplacing your hatred. Capitalists are the problem, not Hasan, who generally takes an anti-imperialist, pro-socialist stance.
