    Two weeks out from the election it would be a terrible strategy to intentionally deplatform the largest leftist pipeline on the internet, especially considering the potential to radicalize scores of disillusioned liberals

    If would also give Ethan and destiny exactly what they want, which is to silence all pro-Palestinian voices

    Hasan’s strategy of largely ignoring Ethan and using the drama as launching pad to educate on the crimes of Israeli apartheid is driving Klein up the wall, the man is spiraling

    Replacing that with an online hunger strike just isn’t efficient or likely to be effective in any way

      Two weeks out from the election

      I’m starting to realize how much money and viewership Frogan, Vio, Denims, and Capri are about to lose out on from their month-long bans

      I never said anything about Hasan going dark. I said not streaming on Twitch. He can stream in TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube.

        Hasan won’t be getting 70k-200k views on election day streaming on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube

        Twitch is his platform, you can’t just transfer an entire audience to other platforms overnight, it takes years to build up, having the platform is simply more important than making a well-meaning moral gesture that’ll be forgotten in a month

          Why exactly is covering electoralism more important than solidarity with pro-Palestinian voices being silenced by Twitch over racist lies?

            You’re just projecting that these people, who he actually knows and talks to, want him to go offline, and that he’s refusing them.

            Because educating and agitproping a shit ton of disillusioned liberals on Palestine who are tuning in for the election is more important than online brownie points

                  Once again, why can’t you go watch him on YouTube or TikTok? Just say you care more about your slop. Is that so hard? “I care more about watching my himbo on Twitch than standing up for Pro-Palestinian voices”. No wonder BDS doesn’t go anywhere in the US. Do you just like Sabra too much?

                    Once again, he has no political audience on YouTube or TikTok, Hasan is a pipeline, pipelines don’t work when they ban themselves for the sake of meaningless gestures that only appeal to guilt ridden liberals

                    Hasan can stand up for pro-Palestinian voices far better by continuing to do what he’s doing, which incidentally is pissing off scum like Ethan and Destiny

                    What you or I think of the “slop” doesn’t matter in the least, all that matters is the millions of disillusioned liberals coming into contact with it and learning a thing or two, that is a far superior expression of solidarity than self-defeating nonsense that surrenders the discourse to the right-wing

                    A leftist with a major media platform is a precious thing, how on earth you don’t recognize that is frankly beyond me

        nah, he should simply stream Bisan’s documentary and any other available Gazan-filmed footage 24/7 without physically being online or saying a word
