Im not on the right sweetie. Ive also made my point clear a few times.

You really haven't guy.

This "controversy" is just a good way to weed out whose political ideology to actually take seriously.

Dude still pushes and educates his followers on socialism. He believes he needs to be taxed more. Calling him a hypocrite is the exact same argument as "you claim to be socialist, yet you live under capitalism. Curious!"

People calling him a grifter, please explain the grift.

people calling hasan a grifter or a hypocrite are just stupid in general and don't actually understand his message or his stances and are just trying to get a cheap gotcha.

same shit with people crying about AoC's apartment or Bernie's extra houses. It's pathetic

Is there something wrong with this besides the math error? If it was an analogy for socialism it doesn't really make sense I suppose since there's still a boss

Aside from the fact that the logic of his analogy is that the employer makes less money by hiring more people and somehow this will mean that the employer will keep giving people jobs, he also equates the product produced with the profits the people involved in production receive, which makes no fucking sense, and overall the whole thing was an overcomplicated and stupid, incredibly long and almost unintelligible way of saying "a larger portion of employer profits should be given as employee wages". There's no reason for him to make this overcomplicated nonsense thought experiment rather than just arguing for that, except that he thought that what he thought up was really intelligent and he wanted to hear himself say it out loud.

He lost me when he said the owner can make 15. Can hire someone who makes 5. Now the owner should give the guy 7 because there's an illegal worker that can give him 2?..why would he even hire at all?

Guys, Carl Marks himself said socialism is when you can't buy a house in California. It says right on page one of the Communist Manifesto that you have to live in your mom's basement.

i bet marx is turning over in his gold plated, ivory inlaid coffin right now

Running a twitch channel where you talk about forcefully occupying the property of capitalist and then using the money you make from that to buy yourself a mansion in LA is a fantastic grift. Can't blame him for that. A fool and his money, and there's no bigger fools than socialist.

What I don't get is why people donate so much money to these popular streamers that make millions just for being a partner with Twitch? I usually donate to smaller streamers I like because I know they're not making bank like these other streamers.

---

It is a little bizarre to see people who like to shit on right wing grifters and rightwingers who fall for the grift suddenly try to go to bat for other grifters, just because they like the lefty message more.

If you're preaching socialist, or communist, talking points while you not only survive in the capitalist system, but actively thrive in it, then you're no less a grifter than the right wingers. You're telling your dumb audience what they like to hear while they throw money at you for the privilege of having their opinions validated.

Who cares if he bought an expensive house? Doesn't change the message he's constantly pushing.

His message is that people should forcefully occupy expensive housing lmao

This is like trying to tell Trump supporters that their money isn't going to his "legal defense".

Do as I say not as I do.

You're gonna have to find a clip for that. Mind you, I don't watch his streams often but any time I've seen him talk about housing is that it should be a human right and nothing about "forcefully occupy expensive housing."

dude is also a NIMBY who doesn't think there's a housing shortage in CA, I promise you he doesn't care about housing anyone but himself

you don't have to watch any of these socialist influencers, you can assume they're all grifters and you'll always be right

Hasan once went on an angry tirade about rich property owners and saying kill them but trying to play it off by repeatedly saying in a video game

Whats a grifter

That's not quite what he said though, he said he thinks the boss should just get half rather than the majority. Boss man doesn't ever make less by hiring additional people in his analogy

VipaGTS posted...

I will never understand this logic. Hes a socialist. Which would mean hed support higher taxes on the rich. Him being rich himself doesnt make him a hypocrite. It means hes willing to put his money where his mouth is. Now I know nothing about this guy in particular but I see people make similar arguments when it comes to people like Bernie or AOC and its incredibly stupid. If they are that rich then theyre fighting to tax themselves more. Its not a gotcha.

This.

But it's also funny when people dunno how to defend the rich so they act like it's either a 3 million dollar house or being homeless. When they themselves live in the in-between. I don't even support the idea of people living above their means and could still defend rich people better than them if I tried >_>.

Why are socialists not allowed to be successful? What do you want him to do, live under a bridge? Donate all his money to making no portion of the country socialist because it's not nearly enough?

It's the system we live under, and it's honestly pretty weird to hear the right criticize him for being successful. I though under the great god-given capitism system we live under that rich people are smart and successful by virtue of being rich, and therefore deserve the fruits of their labor. That's capitialism, if you're poor you're dumb and deserver nothing, if you can afford a $3 million house you are smart and a good capitalist. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps!

Hasan even says TAX ME MORE

In the analogy before the employer hires anyone he produces 15 loaves of bread, which is somehow also his profit. What Hasan "advocates" is that after hiring two people, the boss' profit should be 10 loaves of bread and the rest of the surplus be distributed between the employees. So by hiring 2 people, the boss' profits drop by 33%.

The boss is also paying the employees more than they produce, which is just not how reality works, even remotely.

Ah I see what you mean, I missed the part where he was already producing 15 on his own. Doesn't really work with that detail without a description of how much his employees produce and how much of that he's skimming off.

I suppose there's a hard limit to how in-depth the analogy can go though when you're talking to Jesse Lee Peterson though lol. Maybe he got tripped up trying to make it simple enough for him to follow

people are hypocrites. It's just a fact of life

Truth. Not that this justifies some of the things that they do, but it's why you usually just can't trust and place faith in others.

This man fleeces soicialist kids every day and it's hilarious. I can almost guarantee you he's a capitalist behind closed doors.

What do they want him to do live in a box?

When there is wealth, that is against Socialism. The fact that all historical instances of Socialist projects have resulted in dramatic, unprecedented, and frankly almost unbelievable increases in wealth for all citizens involved in said projects is something that I willfully choose to ignore.

I mean this is the level of understanding on this board.
Do you thinking capitalism and socialism are mutually exclusive terms?
Let's give you a real world example.
Germany is the 6th largest economy in the world,and one of the world leading exporters.

The Social Democratic Party of Germany (German: Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands, SPD; [zotsialdemokat pata dtlants]) is a social democratic political party in Germany. It is one of the two major contemporary political parties in Germany along with the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU). Saskia Esken and Norbert Walter-Borjans have been the party's leaders since the 2019 leadership election. It is the second-largest party in the Bundestag with 152 out of 709 seats, having won 20.5% of votes cast at the 2017 federal election. The SPD is a junior member of the federal government along with the CDU/CSU which was first formed after the 2013 election and renewed in 2017. The SPD is a member of 11 of the 16 German state governments and is a leading partner in seven of them.

They have a socialist party as a member of the coalition government that runs Germany and have outright control of 70% of the State governments.
Did Germany stop being capitalist when they entered government?
No.
In fact per Capita they are one of the most successful economies in the world.
Now this is the part where you tell me that they're aren't real socialists.

The SPD holds pro-EU stances and is a member of the Party of European Socialists and sits with the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats group in the European Parliament. With 16 MEPs, it is the third largest party in the group

So there you have it. Why does no one in this country understand what a socialist is.

Here's their economic policy

The coordinated social market economy should be strengthened and its output should be distributed fairly. The party sees that economic system as necessary in order to ensure the affluence of the entire population.

Nothing against capitalism or earning as much money as you can there. Just you might have to pay more taxes.

I just can't believe the number of people in this thread saying "haha more taxes = socialist!" I don't think anyone actually knows what socialism is and seeing people like Hasan continue to grift all these people just drives me insane.

Should the dude maybe have gotten something more low-key? Sure. Property values in LA are still through the roof. If that is the area he wants to live in and that is what was available... I don't see the issue.

This board has a seething, demented hatred for people like Jeff Bezos, resulting in almost daily hate topics. But a guy who runs a Twitch channel where he tells his viewers to forcefully seize rich people's housing and then uses the millions he makes from this to buy himself a mansion? Now that's capitalism we can get behind!

Also big lols at the guy saying Germany is socialist because they have a social democratic party (who's been out of power for like 16 years).

Also, I'd like to reiterate the fact that he's literally part of the one percent, complains about how he hates rich people, and flaunts massive amounts of jewelry and expensive clothing any chance he gets.

Also let's not forget the fact that he's donated more money to pornstars than he has to actual causes that he claims to care so much about.
