[@HasanReactionsfanTwo]

I think FD is a smart guy who supports Leftist causes through thoughtful videos and intelligent rhetoric. I don't really care what label he chooses to identify with, if he has some liberal tendencies, or if he has slight disagreements here and there. He is a net positive to the greater movement.

[@madamebin1914]

I've found we do the reading so we can convey the information to people with more nuance for the situation. Since people hate having a book shoved in their face but if you condense a couple general ideas from the book then once they've started to open up then start to maybe suggest the book or similar resources. Not everyone has to time or capacity to fully read books so it can be a super helpful and I've found it's helped friends of mine. Also ensures you actually make sure to understand the text too

[@sugoruyo]

The real battle is you gotta get them to care about the truth in what they believe in; after that, they'll do the work for you with some gentle nudging and prodding to make sure they get exposed to factual information. The sad truth of the matter is that most of them are not interested in intellectually engaging with their beliefs, they like the veneer of intellectualism (and even that is fading) but, ultimately, it's all borne out of fear of losing their power (i.e. their privilege).

Vaccine stuff and generally conspiracy theories are perfect examples.

The housing minister in the post war years was a Welsh socialist member of the Labour Party called Aneurin Bevan (nicknamed Nye Bevan, the Nye pronounced like Nigh) who also spearheaded the foundation of our NHS as a comprehensive universal healthcare system free at the point of use based on this thing called the Beveridge Report published during WW2 about the best ways to reconstruct the country after the war. Nye was a trade unionist; he’d worked tirelessly to organise and collectivise his hometown in Wales, the coal miners, the doctors and nurses in his town’s hospitals, and used that experience when he went into govt. Dude was proper based! There’s a great quote by him about his dreams for public housing unifying rather than dividing people, taken from a speech in 1949 concerning a bill about housing: “if we are to enable citizens to lead a full life, if they are each to be aware of the problems of their neighbours, then they should be all drawn from the different sections of the community and we should try to introduce in our modern villages what was always the lovely feature of English and Welsh villages, where the doctor, the grocer, the butcher and farm labourer all lived in the same street. I believe that is essential for the full life of a citizen. I believe it is a necessary biological background for modern life and I believe it leads to the enrichment of every member of the community to live in communities of that sort.” It helped break down barriers between people of different backgrounds like no one’s business, to quote him again, that along with the NHS were “pieces of real socialism”

I remember seeing thw video he mentions on chavs, laughing when he said he didnt agree with owen jones generally, and wondering if it was for the reason i hated him (his betrayal of corbyn) or the general right wing reasoning (it seems the latter, but my point being his previous material was largely apolitical, i couldnt really tell, just interesting UK culture stuff with your standard biases).

I remember when I was 12, YT was pushing me down the alt-right rabbit hole. My journey was similar w/ first Jordan Peterson, then Steven Crowder, eventually it was these pick up artists guys and how to dress. 12 year old me had no chance, only after 16 and having a job and a girlfriend that actually made me want to feel better I found a way out in destiny, Optimus, and then by 18 I found Hasan. I’m 21 now and have learned empathy, and based my views on that. Recently I’ve noticed a bunch of old Channels I used to watch on here are getting pushed again along with more extreme stuff. I’ve had to redouble my efforts to stay on “leftist KZbin”. My advice to anyone trying to leave the Right is this; the fact that you’re seeking alternative sources means youre on your way out. Keep at it and learn to love yourself and others. Taxes should be imposed on the rich, that man/woman doesn’t like you bc you don’t respect others and you need a shower or two, wanting a simple life is not a bad thing but cutting yourself off from the world is.

When will the youth understand that right wing populism is the cause of their austerity? Neo-liberalism is just the evolutionary successor to feudalism. Democracy, freedom & prosperity are in direct conflict with capitalism & liberalism as liberalism = conservatism. The USA has done such a sterling job subverting these concepts/ideologies that even the European & Anglospheric youth believe their BS. In the King's English, a liberal is a right winger as they wish to conserve/preserve their institutions of peerage & the nobility. The Labour movement is aligned with socialism/progressivism to break down the role of gender, classism & the institutional barriers created by the system to unfairly discriminate against those without power or marginalised by it. Sadly the Labour Party in the UK does not deserve the nomenclature anymore as the Labour Party was gutted during Thatcher, liberated very briefly by Corbyn who would be regarded right of the Labour Party of Clement Attlee. The only Labour Party hanging on by a tiny thread in the Anglosphere is that of New Zealand which has to fiddle up first to the neo-liberals. Keir Starmer & his entire cabinet are neo-liberals, so yes, your suffering will increase until you elect members of parliament who represent you & your interests.

[@karebushmarebu233]

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Jordan Peterson characterised relative poverty as “when the guy next door has a better car than you”. This is so misleading to the point of being a lie. Relative poverty is based on wealth disparity within your society. Relative poverty can (and does) have an effect on things like food, as well as literally everything else. While you may be well off compared to someone in a poorer country, within your own society you can’t afford most things due to pricing and wealth disparity between the richest and poorest. This leads to those who are relatively poor being essentially locked out of their own society, you need to make a certain amount of money in order to participate within society, so if you don’t make that amount you end up locked out of health care, locked out of social activities, blocked from receiving healthy food etc. When you can’t participate in your society In a meaningful way, social mobility just isn’t realistic and you’re stuck in that position. This leads to worse living conditions, worse physical and mental health etc, which in turn all leads to more crime. Relative poverty isn’t just not having as nice a car as the guy next door, because if your middle class and the guy next door is upper middle class, you are still living above the relative poverty line To finish this off, this is incredibly important for Americans, since the USA has literally one of the worst relative poverty rates out of all 1st world nations. Like it’s REALLY bad, the US isn’t even in the top 30

Notice how his blithe confidence in his own ignorant claim and how used to his bs we all are just carries him, through the argument and the fact checking. Biden Obama Bush Clinton all of them are equally masterful at this ruse. Reagan was probably the best at it, factless assertions based on nothing said with such confidence it became true after,for many people, at least for a little while. Shits wild ..

Destiny immediately going to the numbers of what could happen if he and Hasan did content tells you exactly the thing he cares about and another reason he and Hasan are fundamentally different people. Like yeah you're allowed to want personal gain from content but for him to want to talk about that, that quickly felt gross.

[@rolfhenning8793]

Bro I watched this video, and left a comment where I says «Hasan helped me get out», then I saw the part about destiny, so I changed the comment to «left wing streamers helped me»😂 cuz I just didn’t want the smoke. Good to see he doesn’t have a negative view of hasan. Mabye I’ll change the comment back 😂

[@psypsy751]

As someone who was deep in academia in my youth, I had read some soviet authors and some Marx, and all of my group of friends hung out in a pub called Soviet that was all communist-themed. But I was never a leftist until Hasan. I was a left-leaning anarchist, on account of all my background and having listened to hardcore punk, AND because I was a deeply cynical person. I first caught Has in xQc highlights (I didn't watch X specifically, he had just joined my favorite pro OW team) and he was roleplaying a cop in GTA so I was like "fuck this guy saying he's a leftist and acting like a cop". What drew me in, after that, was funnily enough, Linus's video of getting him a PC and how earnestly he took all those communist jabs, which made me watch him in context and realize he's genuine. Drama-farming definitely worked lmao.

[@thefalsepope16]

Oh man Majid Nawaz. Haven't seen that guy since he went nuts like 10 years ago

[@endxofxeternity]

Wasn’t he on LBC?

[@MrPiccolop]

Yeah Nawaz was a snake in the grass. Another condescending prick who came across really arrogant. But he did disappear. To where I know not.

[@Temzilla2]

1:35:25 I think one of the few valid conclusions that destiny has come to is that he is a radical Egoist. He has said that everything he does is not for the benefit of anyone but himself, and that he is not a good person, he just does good things so other people treat him nicely so that he has a better outcome.

[@matthewharrison1094]

I love you Hasan but for the love of all things holy STOP THE ENGLISH ACCENT. It’s a major ich 🤮

[@lysgrey]

I feel a little bit of shame every time I remember a handful of years ago I discovered Destiny through TikTok clips on my FYP, was fooled by some of his takes and really started to get into some of the shit he was saying but the deeper I looked the more pungent the right wing stank got- so I dropped off he promptly exited my algorithm. Happy to have found Hasan this year and get the confirmation that my radar was correct and I now have a far better source for commentary in these spheres ✨

[@Joe90h]

The Josh Strife Hayes clip is sad, honestly. As an enjoyer of video games I felt like he was a level headed, smart guy, and now he's trying to both sides the Goonergate stuff when it's clear to anyone with two braincells to rub together that minorities, think tanks and people with leftist politics are being scapegoated for enshittification. It's why the outrage falls apart when the neckiest of the neckbeards come after Elden Ring and Baldurs Gate 3 for being 'woke' when they're objectively 2 incredibly well made games with huge playerbases.

[@stevnated]

I know it's impossible, but I love the idea of Hasan, Vaush and Destiny doing "antagonistic" content together, if they could just keep their fan bases in check and keep it civil. (On second thought, maybe just Vaush and Hasan. )

[@talyahr3302]

Yeah I could see just Vaush and Hasan if they agree to keep it civil. Destiny's stance on Israel is untenable.

[@stevnated]

@@talyahr3302 That's exactly what I was thinking too...

[@ignatiushazzard]

It's funny you say "actually just vaush and hasan " because i literally heard destiny say this exact thing yesterday

[@johnortiz9789]

How can you be anti-establishment and neoliberalist? Like neo-liberalism is the establishment lol

[@connorgrynol9021]

They pretend that it isn’t. They believe neoliberalism is the best path to a successful economy. But the economy isn’t doing great so they need an excuse. Their excuse? What we have isn’t neoliberalism. It’s corporatism or communism or whatever. It’s the only way they can excuse their failing economic model.

[@robson1566]

17:45 dude that awesome impression just came outta nowhere lol

[@MarxistLasagnaist420]

This is an excellent video. I know a lot of people like this and I almost was one myself. I just didn’t have the misfortune of meeting a “proper right winger” like he did. A lot of Americans have no true historical literacy or context for the founding of their country. All they know is there was a revolution to overthrow a king and because kings are bad for obvious reasons, you don’t need any more education to support the idea of the American Revolution, so alot of us have a soft spot for ANYONE fighting the state. Failure to recognize this can lead you into being simply contrarian and that is precisely how you get back doored into that whole “conservatism is the new punk rock” bullshit. It’s the exact same reason why shitheads like Sid Vicious wore swastikas in the first place. They’re just dumb punks who don’t actually know shit outside of “this country sucks and my parents suck and it’s more or less their faults the country sucks and they hate Nazis so I’m a gonna be a ironic Nazi just to piss my freakin mom off!”

[@JackMellor498]

Really happy for Jimmy. For anyone wanting more British politics coverage especially from an economic material leftist analysis perspective, there’s a streamer called NoJusticeMTG (the MTG stands for Magic cards that she plays in her spare time not for Majorie TG) who I highly recommend to any Brits here wanting a Hasan but for the UK youtube.com/@nojusticemtg?si=D6v1Jx4u6BUK7bhE

[@RatherGeekyStuff]

What a great video 👏

[@bunnychicz3702]

I know someone in Britain who went through a similar process to Jimmy's, but he reached an unfortunate conclusion. He started as a contrarian from an economically difficult background. A lot of the youth in Britain from inner cities (Council estates) are kinda of abandoned in the public education system here. Unfortunately it's education and the influences people find along the way that make a difference. We went to listen to Owen Jones TOGETHER. In my process, I became a leftie or MAX left according to Cenk but my friend turned to Jordan Peterson next. I lost my friend I'm afraid

[@Genesisorgin]

Did jimmy ever get on stream with hasan??

[@resintom852]

I left the right just around the time that that footage of Crowder came out and he was having a spat with TDW. It wasn’t *why* I left, but I’m glad I did by that point. I could see myself *maybe* defending him in that situation somehow-and I hate the idea of that now.

[@marktaylor6491]

You, Jimmy, and Gary Stephenson need to have a little seminar.

[@ComradeSam_007]

I hope everyone is well

[@ZERO_O7X]

And you as well! ✌❤☭

[@copypastewhiteboy]

We're getting through it fam

[@soulquarianvibes]

I'm glad he dropped the high talking

[@lounielouna7556]

i was literally thinking the same thing 😭

[@gamedude3005]

How come the talk with jimmy the giant didn’t get made into a video?

[@retched]

Maybe the complex didn't make it yet? Hasan doesn't run this particular channel

[@maeschder]

This kind of path isnt unusual, like that one chatter i also got to Hasan via Vaush. Difference is, i still watch both. Mostly because i forgive both for their shortcomings, as i am better than either.

[@JimmyCRM114]

I think it shows that the lefts tactics are improving but we need to go further. The right wing have been very successful at radicalising young people in the UK. I genuinely believe Russia have had a major part in this as the whole of Europe is becoming more nationalist. Pro Russia candidates have had an army of bots fighting battles we just cannot compete with.

[@BennyBlancoNL]

Yes. You're right. All right wing channels are flooded with Russian bots. Its sick when you see it. ✌🏾

[@jordaneggerman4734]

"No, that doesn't work _either!"_ I love how those of us who watch/used to watch Ethan add the "for me," because he did. Probably still does...I wouldn't know...

[@lukec1771]

For me it was Nassim Nicholas Taleb. All other thinkers are inferior to the timeless ideas from antiquity he presents. Especially those like JP

[@liammonahan7213]

Why did Hasan watch the entire square space ad

[@helene420]

He typically always keeps the ads on bc it's more ad $ going to the creator that he's doing commentary on. It's a way to support their channels.

I just watched this on stream and it was such a refreshing experience

[@MFGaming98]

destiny->vaush->destiny->hasan sounds crazy but in 2019 i think it was probably not uncommon

[@melbatoast.]

During the Great Depression, skills like sewing and agriculture were much more common and people with them had a much better chance

[@5hif7yx86]

never though id see our boy Jimmy on Hasan. Go on Jimmy boi.

[@kimothy..]

destiny and vaush should REALLYYY not be grouped together

[@pluto940]

here are the three things that got me out of the A-RP: Federalist Paper No1, Joe Rogan, and Hasan lmaooood

[@vinnievineyardandtheviciou9937]

Can somebody tell me which Vaush clip Hasan is refering to at 55:09 ?

[@Stop_The_Car]

My first step was watching Hasan react to Shabibo's compass video.
