I dont think saying “if Republicans cared about this issue, they’d kill Rick Scott” is a call to violence, but whatever Twitch, you gave Hasan a few days off that he probably needs and put a big spotlight on a sitting senator’s massive medicare fraud.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If those words came out of the mouth of Elon, trump, or Joe rogan, there would be murder attempts within days. I guess that says more about Republicans than the content of the statement, but it's definitely not a harmless thing.

Though the fact that this is where they draw the line and not Hasan rebroadcasting terrorist propaganda is pretty telling.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

For anyone interested, Hasan never did this.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (6 children)

For anyone interested, here is Hasan literally doing that.

And again.

There's no shortage of these clips. Don't forget he had the hot jihadi on and talked about fucking one piece and how terrorism is just like it. Dude is a propagandist.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Your source are clips from a guy who's a pedo, done sexual assault, and revenge porn? Weird.

Pretty sure clips were debunked a while back by just not clipping out context.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

An entire softball interview with a terrorist was clipped out of context? Pull the other one.

And bro, I already hate destiny and ethan, ad hom attacks won't do much to change my mind or the fact that Hasan gave a terrorist a platform to talk about how cool his terrorist group is.

Yeah, and he's neither a houthi nor a terrorist.

2:35:40 - 2:51:09

Pull the other one

No, your free to watch the whole video. I couldn't care less about your clips. But framing a yemeni teenager as a terrorist is fucked up and untrue.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

He cosplayed one so hard that Hasan himself thought he was a houthi, then talked about how cool it is being a houthi in the interview. Hasan propagandized terrorists.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can't say you hate destiny, how deep you have to be in the fandom to know there is a wiki ? wtf, I mean your point would have been more accepted if it came with a normal source and not with a destiny link

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

First clip I found on Google without some chud reacting to it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

You came in here spouting Destiny’s talking points and the first source you could find was Destiny?

I’m shocked.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Well, I suppose if you’re an incredibly racist freak, and you define any Muslim with a gun as a terrorist, then — you’re still fucking wrong and just peddling the same racist, anti-historical nonsense that fascists have used to rationalize apartheid, ethnic cleansing and active genocide for decades.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

I thought people who took Destiny seriously were a myth.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

DGG wiki lmao. Can’t make this shit up

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Are you seriously Destiny posting rn?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Guys you can flair this user as a Nazi. Makes it easier to see and ignore their future comments

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

But he is on good terms with a Zionist Vtuber by the name "Eristocracy"

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This ban is such horseshit since he didn’t suggest anyone should kill Rick Scott, or generally advocate for the killing of Rick Scott. But apparently just alluding to the killing of Rick Scott is problematic on twitch. Generally, I think there should be more discussion about this whole “kill Rick Scott“ issue, although I don’t think anyone should actually kill Rick Scott.

Idk if this is important but Twitch is owned by Amazon

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, I bet it is. It's probably the sole reason after a direct order from the Baldini Sith himself.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Are you talking about Dr evil in his penis rocket?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh my God! It looks like a giant...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Johnson! Call Air Command immediately.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Come to think of it, I might be!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Overtime, they will putt more pressure and eventually get rid of him. He's one of the very few big left wing content creator and they can't have this continue on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Twitch has been babying Piker for years. He's violated their TOS so frequently that I'm surprised they didn't give him a kiss on the forehead for this

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For anyone still curious, the ban was lifted already

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If Twitch really cared about the issue, they'd kill the ban

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

If Twitch really cared about the issue, they'd kill Rick Scott

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

They could have at least banned him for his non-based opinions, this was nothing

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Anyone know for how long he's banned?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

He's a money-maker for Twitch, so I can't imagine it'll be more than a week. Two weeks if they're actually mad at him.

isn’t that the guy that doesn’t believe taiwan is its own country?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I've seen him talk about how the USA accepted China's "one China policy" (aka the notion that Taiwan is part of China) back when Nixon was president.

Info you can Google:

it makes me sad to know that these morons are called "Leftists"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Basically any talk of it even condemning it or showing an example of republicans expressing violence can get you banned.
