I'm not thoroughly convinced he's an evil Communist. I'm going to need more photos as part of my analysis...for science of course.

"Not only is he an evil socialist leftist, but he's also in great physical shape and rather attractive."

Weird flex, but ok.

I'm guessing that's why they are so hard on AOC. She is a woman, minority, smart and attractive. They are most upset about being attracted to her.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 18 points 3 days ago

She's so hot, and she'll never fuck a troll like me, no matter how rich I am, so she needs to DIE!

[-] mattyroses@lemmy.today 12 points 3 days ago

I think I figured this out years ago.

So male Boomers became used to being catered to by a never ending parade of blonde Fox News hosts. Who would tell these spoiled bastards how they, the white men of the most economically priviledged generation in history, how they were the victims constantly. And how they should be outraged by that.

So the dopamine reactors of them are now wired to that. Then comes AOC. She's young, very pretty, and on the news - but she's NOT telling them that they're being discriminated against! In fact, her message is that they probably have MORE than their share.

So their brains, wired to have the horny with the outrage, basically go batshit.

JFC. Last week, my therapist asked me if I knew who Hasan Piker was... it was surrreal... like the internet broke containment and entered real life.

I'm in therapy for stress and anger management... sometimes politics comes up. My therapist is a middle aged wine mom from the suburbs who literally has one of those "Coexist" bump stickers on her Toyota Prius. I told her I disagreed with him on some stuff, but that I'm probably not his audience. She told me she was watching more of his clips on YouTube. I didn't know what to say to that.

The internet broke containment a decade ago my friend. The internet is real life now.

Most of the people in the White House are right wing internet trolls. We live in sad times.

why are they focusing on a twitch streamer at a political convention

[-] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

What, you think they can focus on policy?

Are you for giving people healthcare? - no

Are you for not bombing children? - no

Are you for taxing the wealthy to redistribute to the majority? - no

Are you for making things more affordable and equitable for poor and middle class Americans? - no

Then what are you for?

MEN IN WOMENS SPORTS, VACCINES BAD, EDUCATION BAD, WOKE LIBERAL IDEOLOGY, THEYRE MAKING THE FUCKING FROGS GAY, PEDOPHILES NEED PROTECTION, THINK OF THE POOR BILLIONAIRES, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE RIGHT?

Exposed for being a hot beefcake. Very cool, very normal stuff from the Republicans.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 40 points 3 days ago

I don't know who this guy is, or why MAGA is so obsessed by him. I've never heard one word from him, and don't even know where Id go to hear him, or see him, or whatever he does. He literally has no influence in my life, at all. I suspect MOST Democrats are like me, and I'm not even a Democrat.

As long as we allow MAGA to keep us on topics like this, we are LOSING. Whenever they bring up this guy, or trans, or Biden, or whatever their wedge issue Boogeyman of the day is, we need to ignore it, dismiss it, bat it away without a single comment about it, and steer the conversation to one of these topics:

Affordability (the big one, it got Trump elected, and it will get Dems elected even more)

Epstein Files: Full disclosure. Trump and his friends are in them

Data Centers: They will destroy everything, and we'll pay for it.

AI: The future is either a permanent 50%+ unemployment rate, or they murder all of humanity.

Flock Cameras: You will now get daily fines in your mailbox whenever you go 3 mph over the speed limit, and they will track you down and arrest you if you have overdue library books.

ICE: They will kill us, they are already doing it.

Taxing Sociopathic Oligarchs and their Corporations: They will pay their fair share of taxes, including on hidden wealth. If they won't disclose it, it will be heavily estimated.

Health Care: What health care?

Student Loan Reform: Sure, just saddle your most productive young citizens with a lifetime of debt as soon as the graduate from college. That won't ever affect the entire economy in a few years, when they can't afford ANYTHING.

MAGA Corruption: Were just going to let this continue like it's somehow legal?

The AmerIsraeliWar®: The Draft is coming. The front line of a war is a great place to siphon your dissidents.

Mass Surveillance: If you aren't doing anything illegal, then what are you worried about? What's illegal? EVERYTHING!

Investigations, Impeachments, Prosecutions of MAGA crime: A president, a Secretary of Defense, a White House Advisor, a bunch of Homeland security turds, a few SCOTUS justices, some congressmen and senators, etc.

These are the real issues, and we need to take control of every discussion, steer them to these issues, and make them defend their record, and their plans for America's future.

Funnily enough, I think MAGA is driving more people to Hasan who don't know him like you. And, I mean, he shares those same opinions so 🤷‍♂️

MAGA is just obsessed with him because he's involved with DSA and they're trying to create an enemy to direct vitriol towards. In this case, it's the DSA who have had several candidates coming from the left of the Democrats win elections (almost like what they're running on is popular or something lol.) Being decentralized, they're trying to name a figurehead so they can demonize the org as a whole through a recognizable figure. Hasan, being a popular streamer, is who they picked seemingly because he was fairly left and said some very provocative things, especially out of context. That's the attempt at least.

Honestly, capitalism has done a better job at promoting socialism than socialism ever has. And this is kind of case in point lol. People that seek out this crazy radical watch him and recognize his ideas aren't radical. He wants everyone to have healthcare, to have access to education, to have their tax dollars go towards making everyone's lives better and not to forever wars and/or billionaires.

This tactic works on those who are uninformed. Those who seek information, it backfires massively.

I’ve only ever heard of this guy because of people trying to backlash him.

[-] Zos_Kia@jlai.lu 34 points 3 days ago

I discovered him when they tried to pretend he was zapping his dog on stream. It was an interesting sequence because apparently they targeted people engaged enough to believe a wall of text on Reddit or a video compilation on YouTube, but not engaged enough to actually watch his channel to check anything.

Obviously they found a large audience, but hey Hasan gained a follower I guess.

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 3 days ago

That’s how their entire canceled culture works.

The book bans are just lists of books that none of them have read too.

This is such a wild disconnect, it's truly mind-blowing. Piker's reaction is pretty much what I'd expect. We all know how far gone these people are, that they live in this weird archaic unreality bubble. They didn't think this through, they sincerely thought this would be embarrassing for him. The right wing gerontocracy is so out of touch, its like they're from another planet

[-] tortina_original@lemmy.world 41 points 3 days ago

Embarrassing for him? I am an old, straight male who has no idea who this person was but when I came across the post on BlueSky this morning talking about it my first thought was "well fuck, I wish I looked like this".

I can only presume that they secretly want to fuck him but don't know how else to approach him. Dumb fucks.
