i challenge you to suffer his stupid fucking chat for a day… a lot of people would prefer back breaking labor.
I feel he’s comparing streaming to white collar jobs, not blue collar jobs. I often refer to my white collar job as my first “real job” because it was the first job I got involving my degree. Prior to that my blue collar jobs where I worked as a “janitor” or in a deli were just part time work to get some spending money.
Ironically, or perhaps not depending on your perspective, having every statement you make over analyzed because your profession is just constantly making statements live can certainly be soul sucking. I think this post is evidence of that. You have to constantly make sure you don’t say things that can get clipped in a way that will make you look bad.
Judging by his other statements, I find it hard to believe he’s saying that hard manual labor is easy work that isn’t soul sucking.
Nah
Nah to which part?
The incorrect part
Which part do you think is incorrect though?
The part where you said the thing that was wrong
“look the guy who spends all day every day saying things said a cringe thing once! stop listening to him about israel and billionaires!”
there’s a huge hasan smear campaign by corpo “democrats” right now, because obviously he’s the real danger for some reason and not the cheeto rapist in power.
when people are calling democrats controlled opposition, this is what they mean.
remember hasan’s dog? don’t think about the entrenched democrats actively enabling the fascist takeover. don’t think about their support for funding israel’s genocide of gaza. what if his dog possibly potentially had a shock collar because the way it moved once! keep hasan on the defensive so he isn’t talking about israel or billionaires!
etc.
i definitely am not the biggest hasan fan, but i find myself defending him regularly from absolute bullshit.
if there’s was ever a time to be picky about hasan’s choice of emotionally biased statements on non-issues, this is really not it.
https://youtu.be/GIIQQqnPVuw?t=3m49s He said democrats have to earn your vote, so the harm reduction argument isn’t valid. The democrats didn’t earn my vote so I didn’t vote. Now Trump killed 2 people, started a war, cut all solar programs, ruined our trade negotiations, destroyed the fda, destroyed usaid, destroyed the department of education, pulled out of the climate accord, destroyed research for being “woke,” but I mean hey the democrats didn’t earn my vote so I was fully justified not voting I think.
when people are calling democrats controlled opposition, this is what they mean.
Well, I kind of mean it as a joke, since they are not even opposition. You have to oppose to be opposition.
I agree with everything you’re saying buuuuuuuuuuut also
the dude lives in a mansion in LA (which his excuse for was that he has a large family, someone better tell all the large families in my single-family suburban neighborhood that they should upsize ASAP) and plays down the importance of mutual aid. He’s a grifter and the left should be demanding better.
MeansTV is great and less braindead-Twitch-stream-formatted
Yeah this is ridiculous criticism. If he was poor and arguing for socialism he would be called jealous. Now he’s rich and arguing for socialism and your criticism is…what exactly? That he takes care of his family? Seems like ad hominem attacks to avoid having to engage with what he’s saying.
Taking care of my family by having a multi million dollar mansion fancy clothes a sports car and a Rolex, amen brother. I don’t expect someone to live like a pauper but wtf give 2 million to red cross and you’ve literally saved like 1000 peoples lives.
Same - I feel like I’m going insane reading all this obvious bullshit. It’s good to know there’s other sane people in this shitpost thread.
What does the need to create divisive discourse around a popular leftist streamer serve to obscure about how you actually feel about the world?
Fucking IMAGINE that.
Seriously though. I cannot imagine that this is what actually bothers you, right?
What probably actually bothers you is the systemic injustice of the world. Am I wrong?
If it actually bothered me, I wouldn’t post it in the shitpost community on lemmy… I don’t even remotely care about streamers. I am trolling/ragebaiting in the community where that behavior belongs.
Oh right, this is all ironic *wink*
I think I actually believe him when he says its soul-sucking. He’s obviously missing a lot of perspective on what he calls ‘real jobs’, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an emotional toll from what amounts to being a clown whose paycheck is derived from the whims of literally faceless masses
Nah he’s right. I’m in a friend circle that includes a lot of content creators and the burnout is so palpable, they can’t even take real holidays because if they do the algorithm fucks them over. Then the guy in the group who’s effectively a Janitor is the happiest and well adjusted and he loves his job.
LOL, they can’t take holidays? I can’t either, show me who can afford holidays… I haven’t been on holiday in a decade. At least they can pay their bills ffs, unlike me.
???
All my other friends? I’m on a very average wage and can take holidays, I have a friend’s that on like 1k/year over minimum who’s going to Japan later this year.
Scream out of touch louder. In the US (where Hasan is so its the pertinent example) federal minimum wage is 7.25 an hour, thats 16,080 a year, add 1000 and you’re saying your friend can afford to pay all their bills and a trip to Japan? The state with the highest minimum wage is Washington at 17.13 hourly total annual being 35,630, add 1,000 36,630. You’re saying thats not only a livable wage in that state but one high enough to afford a trip to Japan? Your friend is putting it on a credit card or they don’t have any of the bills associated with being an adult.
Americans still don’t understand there are other countries that exist.
Boooooo you stink. We are talking about hasan and you are trying to apply whatever your country (which is undeniably a significantly smaller number of people) to all countries by making the statement you’ve made based on your sub 1% incredibly high level of privilege. Your niche example can’t apply to the other 7.5 billion at least humans.
lmao??
Sup babe?
I mean, if you ignore the constant advocacy he does for rank and file workers and unions, alongside his repeated acknowledgement of his privilege, this would be a legitimate criticism. If you left out the “in the same way” as well.
Who is he?
Hasan Piker, a left wing political commentator on the internet, who’s popular among the 18-35 set
under attack by his closest aligning party, because he is threatening right wing democrats position, and gamesmanship of the vote
Are you implying Hasan is aligned in any way with the Democrats?
no, i am implying that of the two parties, the democrats are the closest yet they are spending their influence in atacking the left pull of their base. and Hasan is the attackable face of this pressure, as oppose to doing their fucking job in fighting tyranny.
no, i am implying that of the two parties, the democrats are the closest
So what? They’re still extremely far away and their ideology (Liberalism) is completely incompatible with Hasan’s (Marxist-Leninism).
There is 0 incentive for Democrats to include someone like Hasan in their coalition.
ok?
so what?
again, they are spending more effort into attacking someone who is a representative of the left pull of the democratic base.
instead of doing their fucking job.
it is clear that democrats want the same things as republicans, but are not as brazen. they don’t want to interface with a youtuber, cool, fine, whatever, i don’t really care.
but they ignore the progressive pull at their own peril. it is already proved that they no longer have the leverage to demand a conservative democrat as a candidate and actually win elections.
Performative politics is all the rage.
Hasan is a socialist at random. He’s utterly philosophically illiterate, so his positions are a flip of the coin. You might say, “fine, let’s use that,” and I agree - as long as you don’t lose sight of the fact that he’s a narcissistic grifter.
In all seriousness, you can’t entrust political significance to character-deficient, uneducated dingdongs with no commitment to reality.
Wow it’s almost like it’s impossible to have 100% consistency across 12 hours a day of talking…
I watched Hassan become famous and his dishonest narcissistic imbecility is about the only consistent feature of his character. The cult of celebrity has its hooks in you.
