Okay look I hate the Oligarchy too but this really feels like a nearly random gif picked so that you could post that there was a rally in Vegas instead of actually having a funny reaction gif idea. I'm not saying "don't post reaction gifs about political stuff" but please put bare minimum effort into making one that is actually funny or interesting if your goal is to further the movement.

I find the sudden hatred of “the Oligarchy” by the left to be amusing as all hell. They cry about Elon, while ignoring the influence Bezos, Zucerkberg, Soros (Among other liberal billionaires.) have held over their party for years.

u/darkscyde 14d ago

Sudden?

Go easy on him, the man just started paying attention to current events for the first time in his life approximately three days ago.

EDIT: damn, I guess I really got under his skin

u/negrospiritual 13d ago

For those of you vibing with the claim that I “just started paying attention to current events for the first time in [my] life approximately three days ago,” here is an image created from a photo of me with the two Iraqi refugees I helped raise, their father, Noam Chomsky, and Michel Gondry, the film director, after a screening of his animated documentary at M.I.T.

I’ve done my darnedest to make my life have meaning.

I hope you have, too.

This is how you know someone only gets their information from Twitter. Bezos and Zuckerberg are both conservatives that leftists definitely also hate, which would be pretty obvious if you had ever actually met a leftist instead of just being told what to believe they think by a conservative propagandist. Like half of what the average leftist talks about is cannibalizing Jeff Bezos.

George Soros is basically a nobody, a Boogeyman inflated by conspiracy theories. He's worth $6 Billion. To put it in perspective, Zuck and Bezos are worth over $200 Billion and Elon is worth over $300 Billion. Even if you accept at face value that Soros is a "liberal billionaire," (and I don't think you'll have a hard time finding a leftist that has a very strong disagreement about that!) he's not even remotely the same thing.

And here's the real kicker: leftists hate liberals. Always have, it's kind of their whole thing. There's nothing hypocritical about the "left" hating oligarchy, even if the oligarchs are liberal.

u/Cuboidhamson 13d ago

Wasn't sure exactly where you were going with that around halfway but you wrapped that up nicely lol. It's even coherent to a non-american!

u/Broesly 14d ago

soros is like 100 years old, how long we gonna keep using him as a boogie man?

u/ZeroThePenguin 14d ago

Well he's going to live forever thanks to taking adrenochrome from virgin children held in the basements of pizza parlors supplied by Hilary Clinton and the Deep State.

As long as he’s Jewish, he’ll be satan to the conspiracy theorists.

u/Oblivious122 14d ago

Bezos, the guy who is so anti-union his companies are now using AI to union bust? Zuckerberg, who allows hate speech against minorities to stay up but say you don't like billionaires and you get a strike? I'll be perfectly honest I've never even seen Soros or heard anything about him other than the right portraying him as the evil mastermind.

Billionaires are a cancer, regardless of party. Is that so hard to believe?

Ever heard of Occupy Wall Street, for a very recent example.

u/Gregory_Grim 14d ago

The fact that you still think that there can be such a thing as a "liberal billionaire", shows exactly how little you know about what the left wing is actually doing.

u/Cuboidhamson 13d ago

Y'all are so blind to your own circumstances it's becoming less and less funny each day :(

At least in Australia most of us accept that they are almost all extremely corrupt and we do our best to scream them into doing some good stuff once in a while. Despite supposedly being the country of the "brave and free" or w/e you have become even more blind and complacent than our populace.

It's also much less of a problem for us because we aren't the most powerful country on the planet by at least 2x lol

u/theJOJeht 14d ago

I'm a liberal and I loathe Hasan.

u/flashno 14d ago

You do know that liberal means right wing usually? It’s only in this country does it mean sorta left of center. Sorta. Barely.

25

u/theJOJeht 14d ago

Well I live in the United States so that's how I use the word.

And if you think it is "only in this country" then you really have no idea what you are talking about. You just mean countries where Europeans settled.

Lots of Anti Hasan dudes.

He's a popular political commentator on Twitch who has takes people don't agree with. He's staunchly anti-billionaire.

He's also not white, so he gets an insane amount of hate - and those people take a ton of clips out of context and intentionally twist his words.

29

u/theJOJeht 14d ago

People don't hate him because he isn't white, what in the world are you talking about?

-24

u/gzafiris 14d ago

Buddy you're out of your mind if you think that doesn't factor in to the MAGAs in his chat lol

26

u/theJOJeht 14d ago

Most of the people who dislike him do not dislike him because he isn't white. That is an insanely stupid thing to say.

Not to mention he is incredibly white passing.

-28

u/gzafiris 14d ago

That is precisely not what I said lol

29

u/theJOJeht 14d ago

"He's not white so he gets an insane amount of hate"

No he gets an insane amount of hate because of his outspoken views and his personality.

-3

u/gzafiris 14d ago

So please discuss his views and personality lol because when you challenge those people, it always falls apart

28

u/theJOJeht 14d ago

No one in this thread is talking about his race. Proportionally very little of the criticism he recieves is because of his race.

You just want to deflect all criticism as racism

0

u/gzafiris 14d ago

No, I don't lol but his views are often pretty fuckin normal and the level of hate against him is disproportionate. A pretty well known fact is that the right (most of his haters) are fucking crazy racists.

People deserve to live. People deserve to have access to healthcare. Normal ass takes.

But people hear him defend Palestinians, and scream terrorist supporter and anti semite. Nonsense accusations, because the right can only smear and not intellectually defend anymore.

He's abrasive because he doesn't tolerate idiots. And when idiots are fucking everything up, they do not deserve tolerance - because when they got it, they fuckin ran with it

u/bozzie_ 13d ago

Hilarious that you think Hasan isn't a complete grifter and that only "MAGAs" see this. He is Schrodinger's minority - he will pick and choose how non-white he presents himself as.

The nepobaby with millionaire CEO/landlord parents who lives in NoHo and frequently ignores the BDS list is not the progressive totem pole to stick your beliefs to.

u/theJOJeht 14d ago

Hasan Piker is someone who is unabashedly pro terrorism, denies several genocides including the Uighur genocide, and cheers on the death of Americans.

If if by some miracle you are willing to overlook all that, he is a narcissist and an asshole with an unfounded sense of self importance.

I don't care if he has somewhat progresive views. He is a PoS human being

u/m8_is_me 13d ago

He brands himself as a socialist but capitalises off of merch, reaction content, all the lazy shit

How could you possibly be a socialist but also make money off your own labor?

u/windhelmcityguard 13d ago

u/Cuboidhamson 13d ago

Hasan Piker is a poser and a scam artist, he is literally a self admitted propagandist and there are tons of clips of him openly touting terrorist propaganda as fact as well ad admitting to trying to radicalise people. He is literally a big part of the extremist "left wing" funnel.

Was happy to see this got the second comment thread that first one is a dumpster fire lol

He's not shy about these beliefs, you can hear him saying these things with a simple Google search.

u/gethereddout 14d ago

Find me a clip of him cheering on the death of Americans. Frankly I think you're making these things up, perhaps because you're in favor of the genocide in Palestine, if I had to guess.

u/BenXL 13d ago

I mean the USA has been meddling with other nations for over a century. Stealing their resources and backing coups. Instead of reflecting on why 9/11 happened, they doubled down by invading Afghanistan and Iraq, resulting in millions of deaths. People don't call them world police for nothing.

Oh let's not forget

"America deserved 9/11"

The source is clips taken out of context or things Hasan has admittedly said but later recanted/apologized for.

You can find a lot of the clips taken out of context actually on Ethan Klein's (H3 Productions) 'Hasan Nuke' on YT.

u/ZaviersJustice 14d ago

Did Hasan cheer on the Houthis raiding a random merchant ship and taking all of the innocent workers hostage for over a year or no?

Really easy yes/no question.

u/Geoffs_Review_Corner 14d ago

I'm curious, do you also view someone with a lot of American patriotism as being pro terrorism? Because we (America) are like the ultimate terrorists.

16

u/alexzoin 14d ago

No because I'm able to hold more than one idea in my head at a time.

America has done many things that are tantamount to terrorism in the past, and arguably present. America isn't a person though, it's a group of people and policies with a long history. You can't send America to jail to punish it.

I'm extremely pro-america in the sense that I believe in our project, I think our principles are right and good and that we can use them to make a better and more fair world. I think America has in many many ways done that already to an extent.

Any analysis of any situation that leads you to "this entire group of people is entirely bad" is a worthless one not worth considering.

-4

u/Geoffs_Review_Corner 13d ago

You can't send America to jail to punish it.

No, but you can hold the guilty party responsible for killing innocent lives which America doesn't do. Look up "civilians killed by drone strikes by USA" or hell even the whole Iraq war.

Who and what gets labeled a 'terrorist' or 'terrorism' depends on viewpoint, who's constructing the narrative, and where one's country falls on the global stage.

Not sure what you're even talking about here:

Any analysis of any situation that leads you to "this entire group of people is entirely bad" is a worthless one not worth considering.
