Look, I don't care if Hasan has money, silencing the largest pro-palestine voice we have and allowing Zionists to paint everyone who speaks out against their genocide as anti-Semitic is bad.

It's not about Hasan. The largest streaming platforms are going to make talking about the genocide illegal. Good chance the rest of the internet follows. This isn't 1950s anymore; YouTube, Insta, TikTok, Twitch, Twitter. As stupid as it is, these are the places people under 70 get their news from now. We've seen feds try to ban TikTok already, they wouldn't do that if this shit didn't change minds.

Control of the narrative and propaganda is insanely powerful and basically the main tool western imperialism uses to control it's people. Total narrative control of the internet is their last step to crush the last little bit of truth that leaks through and causes trouble for them.

I don't think we should be downplaying this as just Twitch drama. The western left hardly has any tools, maybe we shouldn't do the feds job for them and provide 0 resistance to the dismantling of the tiny amount of voice we have.

who has described… a Jewish man as a “bloodthirsty pig”

Feel like who the Jewish man in question is is pertinent

If Y'all can critically support Asad and Putin y'all damn well better critically support Hasan. This an attempt to silence someone who supports palestine by conflating anti semitism and Zionism. It doesnt matter who it is, it just matters that Zionists dont have control over social platforms.

This guy represents one of the poorest districts in the country and spends 90% of his waking hours tweeting about "antisemetic" college students and what not, almost a parody of what people think of as a corrupt US politician.

"if you insult anyone who is jewish you are an antisemite"

BadEmpanada was right about the weaponized allegation of "antisemetism".

Last week when Torres tweeted about Hasan, posting a Destiny orbiter-created clip, which is cut short to make it seem like Hasan denied the possibility of October 7 sexual violence, Hasan mused over whether he should sue Torres. Presumably Hasan is going through with it and not speaking about it publicly

Edit: Ethan's subreddit overwhemingly sides with Hasan over this letter

They're feeling lucky after their previous successful campaign to get a handful of smaller MENA streamers banned. It is kind of amazing that apparently congress steps in over online insults now.

"Influencers" tend to have little armies of followers to sic on each other. They don't need to do much fighting of their own.

That said, it's pretty obvious why this particular "influencer" was singled out.

My money is on Hasan + co getting permabanned by the end of the year. It seems like the liberal-nazi Reddit troll farms will actually have the power to bully people off of Twitch as long as advertisers aren't willing to advertise on media that opposes the state of Israel. Some of them will probably do fine on platforms like YouTube, but the Palestine version of the red scare, is alive and well.

Sidebar there definitely needs to be a term coined for the anti-Palestinian witch hunts that have been going on, I've seen "the new McCarthyism", but that doesn't really do it justice, and the green scare is already taken describing the US crackdown on environmental protestors in the 2000s. Maybe the "Palestine Panic", that's the best I've got.

So when is the letter for elon coming?
