Oh good. I don’t care if he is correct here. One of my overarching goals on this forum is to repeatedly bring up that BE is bad and shouldn’t be posted until I don’t see him anymore, much like you do with Hasan, except I was specifically addressing what was posted, and you were addressing me as if I am part of this ‘Hasan fan club’ you apply to the forum at large. Way to universalize the particular there, definitely makes it seem like you are talking to me in good faith.

If a link to BE wasn’t posted, I would just made fun of streamers in general, Hasan in particular, and moved on. That said, Hasan will likely remain in the political zeitgeist as long as he keeps his good looks, and so will unfortunately come up in discussions of American political culture. It’s fighting a losing battle. BE, on the other hand, as no actual relevance outside of niche leftist streamer bullshit and if he can’t even clear the hurdle of anti-imperialism I don’t know why we should ever have to hear from him on anything.

Yes, social democracy is a dead end, and Hasan is bad and not a socialist. And BE is bad and him criticizing Hasan correctly doesn’t mean we have to hear from him. And some people here would sell out their weak communist principles (because very few people here are actually part of a socialist party) for a whiff of social democracy, and that sucks and is bad. If we agree on these things, we are on the same page. If not, idk where we can go from here but I’m sure we’ll find out.
