    It's crazy how the Chinese police are cracking down on Hong Kong peaceful gatherers this way

    I wonder why this particular streamer was charged with a crime and not the others that ironically demand to (CW: nazi hate crimes, violence, murder)

    spoiler

    "gas the k!kes, race war now"

    on their streams? heated-gamer-moment us-foreign-policy

      It's peak irony that just 4 years ago we were having BLM protests in NYC and now everyone is going back to the same old "lock up every black person" mentality as if nothing has changed. We're right back where we started in 2016.

      I think we need another BLM protest in this country because the first one didn't change anything I guess, the same old corrupt POS cops are out there doing the same damn thing

        You're right, but if the fact that police department budgets are up higher than ever is anything to go by, protests won't cut it. We need an organized movement that can use strikes, political power, and who knows what other fronts to demand racial justice.

        he doesnt talk much politics, though i think he is just a liberal. besides, it wasn't a riot, just a giveaway that had far more people than expected. the riot shit is bullshit.

        the alt-right one is Adin Ross.

        He is not alt-right. He's friends with Hasan, who has been slowly trying to radicalize him

            Yeah I don't watch streamers/YouTubers and mostly only know hasan from chapo/hexbear posters. But there is 0% chance he is a patsoc.

            He is important and loud ally to the left in particular on feminist and trans issues. Even when he is wrong he explains his stance so you can at least understand his reasoning.

            He might be a giant lib but he ain't no patsoc

                  They were made mod of a bunch of communities too and they're constantly just posting straight up lies.

                    also he removed one comment for "dead-naming" where the name used was one of the preferred names of the person in question, and still has not corrected this action after being informed

                    not that that's a big deal, but just one more thing to consider possum-party

                      The user in question has been doing this since they created their account as well so they didn't just wake up one day and start acting like this after they were appointed mod.

                I don’t even watch Hasan and I’m sick of the “House Debate.” Such a meaningless debate and even more meaningless to hold onto, wake me up when he’s doing landlordism

                I mean, you can call him a grifter if you want, but Hasan is not a patsoc. Words have meaning. There aren't 'many' patsocs; they are a weird niche group that exists mostly online. I can't think of anyone I would call a patsoc outside of Infrared/Haz and Caleb Maupin. I get the feeling that you might label someone as a patsoc for having bad politics or for bad behavior, but that doesn't necessarily make them a patsoc. It seems like you're using the term patsoc in a similar way to how liberals use 'tankie' or how chuds use 'woke'.

                    Aren't Rainer Shea, Jackson Hinkle, and Peter Coffin mostly online personalities, though? I do know Jackson Hinkle is a patsoc (I don't know much about the other people, so I can't talk about them). Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't patsocs a completely American thing? I'm not talking about communists/socialists with regressive or somewhat reactionary views – they have existed for a long time – but the modern type that identifies with things like Maga Communism.

                    I'm not American, so I can't say anything about your claim that PCUSA and KFAUSA have been taken over by Patsocs, which sounds worrisome but – and don't take this personally – also a bit unlikely. I would be happy if other comrades could confirm or deny this."

                that's what I'm asking. Tell me what you think patriotic socialist means, please

                If you think Azan is a 'patriotic socialist' you'd be dead wrong. I'm pretty sure half the 'patsocs' I've seen in the past (I don't see many these days) are crypto-white supremacists. Infrared is just a fed/clout chaser, a kind of millennial George Galloway (gets much correct, with a large sprinkling of bs and is a grifter).

    That shit was pretty crazy and I'm not surprised by the outcome with how out of control it got. But I just don't like influencers in general.
