sewer_rat_420 [he/him, any]
I wasnt listening in those days and didnt see that episode but yeah…its not a black and white thing at all. Unfortunately he is now probably going to introduce people to more right wingers with his new MAGA friends, in addition to the pervasive anti-left, zionist, and islamophobic/anti-arab shit he is spewing on a daily basis now.
Im disappointed because his humor really gotten to me and the show was overall in a good place with the rest of the crew participating a ton, before he decided to just implode it
Im sorry this is happening but im glad to hear you have a sound plan and safe place to go. Everyone should be trying to make these sort od contingency plans
Yeah, he is gonna do it right off the bat. And DeSantis and Abbott and their ilk will be happy to play along. Plus it will be a fun fight for him to have with Dem governors like Newsom.
Remember that this time 8 years ago people were saying he wouldnt do a muslim ban really but he did do that within a week iirc
He wont be very successful im terms of raw numbers of deportations but he will cause harm and stoke fear.
Even more islamophobia under President Vance
Im a dumb newbie lib that needs to read more theory
NYT - Antisemitic Attacks Prompt Emergency Flights for Israeli Soccer Fans
On game day, the tension and violence continued. Videos showed Israeli fans on their way to the match shouting an anti-Arab chant as they were escorted by the police near Amsterdam’s central train station. At the stadium, the police said, riot police units and mounted officers were required to keep pro-Palestinian groups and Israeli fans apart.
More than 800 police officers had been mobilized throughout the city in anticipation of the game, the Dutch authorities said, an extraordinarily large number that reflected trepidation about the potential collision of Israeli fans and supporters of the Palestinian cause in a city with a significant Muslim population.
“Because of an announced pro-Palestinian demonstration, in combination with the commemoration of Kristallnacht, we foresaw risks to public order,” said Peter Holla, Amsterdam’s police chief, in a reference to a 1938 anti-Jewish pogrom in Germany.
Oh my God what the fuck is this. Amsterdam are you doing OK? Why are your cops escorting Nazis around the streets? Especially around the commemoration of Kristallnacht?
And obligatory to the New York Crimes
I tend to think of it less like “H3 converted me to leftism” and more like I have been radicalizing because of a diversity of life experiences, and finding Hasan was just a small part of that but nonetheless part, and I don’t feel I am alone based on how other Hasan chatters or h3 snark posters discuss it.
Otherwise, you would also have to consider being hyperfixated on the fediverse to be the pipeline to the left - that is how I found hexbear which has also been part of my radicalization. As have dozens of other people in real life, situations in real life, and other content creators.
