Choo choo motherfuckers

I wasnt listening in those days and didnt see that episode but yeah..its not a black and white thing at all. Unfortunately he is now probably going to introduce people to more right wingers with his new MAGA friends, in addition to the pervasive anti-left, zionist, and islamophobic/anti-arab shit he is spewing on a daily basis now.

Im disappointed because his humor really gotten to me and the show was overall in a good place with the rest of the crew participating a ton, before he decided to just implode it

Im sorry this is happening but im glad to hear you have a sound plan and safe place to go. Everyone should be trying to make these sort od contingency plans

Yeah, he is gonna do it right off the bat. And DeSantis and Abbott and their ilk will be happy to play along. Plus it will be a fun fight for him to have with Dem governors like Newsom.

Remember that this time 8 years ago people were saying he wouldnt do a muslim ban really but he did do that within a week iirc

He wont be very successful im terms of raw numbers of deportations but he will cause harm and stoke fear.

Damn man, i am sorry that this is happening. Zionists arent satisfied with an ethnic cleansing of the levant, they need to spread their genocide across the globe...

Even more islamophobia under President Vance

Read an unhinged opinion piece in WSJ...basically inciting their own pogrom against the Moroccan community in Amsterdam, claiming they roam the streets on scooters loojing for jews to kill. This unhinged islamophobia lately is scaring me

Im a dumb newbie lib that needs to read more theory

NYT - Antisemitic Attacks Prompt Emergency Flights for Israeli Soccer Fans

On game day, the tension and violence continued. Videos showed Israeli fans on their way to the match shouting an anti-Arab chant as they were escorted by the police near Amsterdam’s central train station. At the stadium, the police said, riot police units and mounted officers were required to keep pro-Palestinian groups and Israeli fans apart.

More than 800 police officers had been mobilized throughout the city in anticipation of the game, the Dutch authorities said, an extraordinarily large number that reflected trepidation about the potential collision of Israeli fans and supporters of the Palestinian cause in a city with a significant Muslim population.

“Because of an announced pro-Palestinian demonstration, in combination with the commemoration of Kristallnacht, we foresaw risks to public order,” said Peter Holla, Amsterdam’s police chief, in a reference to a 1938 anti-Jewish pogrom in Germany.

Oh my God what the fuck is this. Amsterdam are you doing OK? Why are your cops escorting Nazis around the streets? Especially around the commemoration of Kristallnacht?

And obligatory to the New York Crimes

I tend to think of it less like "H3 converted me to leftism" and more like I have been radicalizing because of a diversity of life experiences, and finding Hasan was just a small part of that but nonetheless part, and I don't feel I am alone based on how other Hasan chatters or h3 snark posters discuss it.

Otherwise, you would also have to consider being hyperfixated on the fediverse to be the pipeline to the left - that is how I found hexbear which has also been part of my radicalization. As have dozens of other people in real life, situations in real life, and other content creators.

Counterpoint: i found out about Hasan through Ethan/Leftovers

Damn you really attacking the fabric of this nation like that smh my head

I'm with her!

They also made a bunch of noise and lit fireworks during a moment of silence for the spanish floods - apparently in retaliation for Spain's recognition of the state of Palestine?

Its ok, i watched up until a month or two ago. I stopped watching 2017-2022 though for the mkst part. I cringed and skipped for the zionist segments that were pretty infrequent up until recently. I sort of regret it now but the crew at least were great.

Also, its how i found hasan

Hasan literally responded to one thing for ten minutes and the ethan meltdown went into 10X overdrive as he triples down on "sieging civilian populations and calling them animals is good actually"

We need more spaces for leftist cooperation free of lib shit. And libs need to learn to leave the lib shit behind because attacking leftists when a (orange) fascist will be president in a couple months is not a good look. You can be a lib in private i guess but if you want to help resist Trump leave the ideology behind please. And i also mean this from my own perspective, fully ready to work with anarchists even those that think i am a tankie.

It seems with libs and anarchists that the chronically online only know how to yell tankie...im friends with a lot of anarchists from my old union and there is an inverse correlation between how much praxis they actually do and how much they complain about tankies in the group chat

These dumbasses that point at $25k housing assistance and the small business thing as "social policies" are so fucking out of touch.

Tax credits arent a great way to administer social problems, although the child tax credit is somewhat good and should be expanded in the absence of other social programs.

But a tax credit for buying a house is useless. It would have driven up housing prices, with most benefit to developers and realtors, marginal benefit for people that will buy a house and get the credit (im in this category btw, as a likely first rime home buyer in the next 4 years). And it will hurt the working class who are overwhelmingly renters and would be hurt by the rising housing prices. Not to mention the likelihood of being blocked by courts the same way bidens loan forgiveness was (which i wouldve benefitted from to the tune of $20k as I received a Pell grant).

And the small business thing is like....so obviously dumb. Just a small scale trickle down idea i guess? It wouldnt really help anyone except marginal help to people who wanted to start a business and maybe creation of some new low wage jobs.

This is spot on. I left academia at the end of 2023 and glad I got out when I did. Things are not getting any better it seems. In CA, our "public" universities are totally beholden to capital interests and will do nothing that improves quality of education, quality of lives for their workers, instead spending time "fighting antisemitisim".

It is pretty depressing, because this vital institution is just rotten to the core and needs to be completely rebuilt I fear
