The Political Thread

[Barry Poppins]

Although I think the Ukrainian girl’s murder on the train, well not as gory in the video is a little bit more gut-wrenching because she gets stabbed in the neck and you can see her brain trying to understand what’s going on and she’s just scared and doesn’t even realize that she’s been stabbed and then she kind of slowly slumps to the floor and then you can see the blood start to pool all over the floor.

It's reminiscent of the vid that got found of the Chechen Wars where Russian soldiers slashed Chechen soldiers throats and decapitated one with a military knife.

Gruesome stuff and harrowing to hear the gurgles.

He's not on the scale of Ethan, but Hasan is also a massive dickweed because he openly pushed for leftists to not vote for Kamala at a time when leftists needed to be more united than ever.

I’m not even a pro Palestine person, but I’ve never understood that argument either because both sides of the aisle of pro Israel, generally speaking at least the politicians are. So that wasn’t helpful at all.

Also, Hasan is also a terrible political commentator. Right up there with Ethan. I believe on at least a couple of occasions he has advocated for violence and at one point I think he said that we deserved 911.

Hasan and Vaush and Ethan are sadly the highest profile leftist commentators there and that's also a damning statement of the left's political messaging.

AOC, for all that she represents, at the very least is the closest in alignment to what youth left-leaning voters want.

AOC is pretty chill. Which is why I specifically didn’t try to use her for the comparison earlier. I don’t agree with a lot of her takes, but nothing too extreme about her either.

I totally forgot about Vaush, but he might be the worst one. Is he still like super over because I thought he got canceled over some very questionable pedophile takes?

For the record if Ethan or Hassan got murdered, Grim might have a similar reaction, not quite as animated but still

 

[Chris]

I don't even know who the other one is, the only guy I listen to that would count as a political commentator stopped doing it to do history full time instead bc everything sucks now. I constantly hear that the left needs a "Joe Rogan" tho and that just also sounds dreadful

You're probably not wrong in all honesty.

I guess if I just strongly dislike someone I'm not gonna cry about them being dead lol.

Just to clarify, I’m not one of those people that says you can’t criticize someone after they died. It’s just I don’t think you should celebrate that they died.

 

[Chris]

While the celebrating makes me uncomfortable, I get especially annoyed, completely different emotion with the people that act like you can't criticize at all too so it's usually just not a fun time for me but what's death in a nut shell

 

[Barry Poppins]

Death isn't the end, just a momentary pitstop on the road to oblivion.

That’ll probably be the equivalent of me and Jake shields cause he’s extreme enough to the right of me that I pretty strongly abhor everything he believes in and preaches and I do think he created harm.

I disagree with Hasan pretty strongly as far those two go so I’m trying to imagine if he died what my reaction would be to that and I’m gonna hope I wouldn’t be positive about it, but Hassan is pretty fucking up there though.

Yeah, this is why I wanted to clarify because feel free to not do a 180 and try to be positive about the person‘s character after they died. It’s just the specific mockery or celebration of the death itself that annoys me.

 

[Barry Poppins]

At least no one can accuse me of being racist like when I didn't cry for OJ Simpson's death

I’ll be honest with you if the left wing had a prominent person with the kind of reach that Joe Rogan did it would probably be completely over for right wing politics. And what’s funny about that is I don’t even think Joe Rogan is specifically that right wing he just promotes a lot of right wingers on the show.

Nah, identity politics are stupid. The entire point of not being racist isn’t just to not criticize people, but it’s also to appropriately criticize them when their ideas or their actions called for it.

Like Candice Owens has completely left the reservation a long time ago and I’m not gonna pretend that’s not the case.
