This doesn't change anything. Since AMLO the Mexico itself has acted as the US southern border and worked to prevent caravans from making it to the US.

This is just Sheinbaum mystifying the position of Mexico

Hasan literally told Business Insider that he wanted to move to LA because of fucking Entourage.

Likewise yeah people in their 20s-30s move to cities to chill, but not everyone moves to LA or NY.

Remember how libs were rehabbing GWB but then GWB never endorsed, and they got really mad?

We all know why!!!! It's because GWB is a Russian asset, why else would he invite Putin to a high school in Crawford Texas unless Putin had compromat dizinformatsiya on him in 2001. DO NOT LOOK UP WHEN PUTIN BECAME PRESIDENT THAT IS NOT RELEVANT!!! COMPOMAT! DISINFORMATSIYA!

Yeah TBH I was with him until that point.

Evil Russia is botting on lemmy dot ml to reach a smidgen of the 60K MAU who are mostly already deluded nerds into not supporting Hasan on twitch dot tv a site of 240M MAU for geopolitical reasons of 20 dimensional chess.

Replace Jakarta Method with If We Burn by the same author, it's much more relevant to political organizing at the level the left is at in the West and less of a "sins of the empire" thing.

Yeah the problem with living in capitalist hellworld at the heart of the empire is that you have two separated insular communities of leftists that are knife fighting rings. One in meetings and one on message boards, and they frequently know nothing about each other.

While the meetings communists sometimes eke out wins like Kshama Sawant, they often struggle to connect to the message board communists who really should be their base. Meanwhile both struggle to connect to society at large.

What's really funny is that most meetings communists I know locally essentially think of him in essentially the same way message board communists think of AOC. Most meetings communists cannot stand his level of yadda yadda when pressed on any specifics he often just goes more general and says things like 'I just want everyone to have healthcare bro'.

Because this is a plain instance of him not being a class traitor to further his own career and desires.

The reality of the "stop pocket watching" argument that Hasan has successfully deployed on his fans and friends is that it's the same argument every rich person pulls out when you question how they spend their money and what that practically says about their place and ideas for society at large.

My argument isn't that "people shouldn't live in LA" (okay fine maybe it is a little). My argument is that Hasan made the same choice that every influencer makes.

Beyond the very obvious influencer argument, how exactly do you think that upper middle class comes to support capitalism as a whole? They get addicted to their level of consumption like every wealthy class has done for millennia.

So the underlying argument there isn't "Hasan doesn't deserve nice things", it's that "Hasan's appetite for nice things is a form of class expression" and there is a point of where that class expression and the addiction to consumption overrides any "do socialism" argument that you say on stream.

This is literally how the nomenklatura got fat in the USSR, they didn't have streams but they had their local, national, and general assembly soviets. Every post-Soviet person knows an uncle who was a party apparatchik and stopped saying "do socialism" the moment the wall came down, and he was one out of maybe two/three guys in your whole extended family who happened to have a car prior to 1995. I have 3 of such uncles and 2 of them aren't even blood relatives.

Y'all are getting wrecked by the same attitudes that wrecked the USSR and y'all don't even have state capitalism with socialist characteristics.

The real problem here is that Hasan doesn't admit these things. Hasan can't admit these things because he doesn't know these things. Hasan is very limited in his knowledge of "socialism", he's a guy who just says shit on stream. Being a class traitor is a cool coat he wears along with all his other cool coats.

I struggle to even call myself a class traitor despite the fact that I have Eastern European thrift embedded so deeply in my veins that I live way below my means. Guess what class expression doesn't stop there. Being thrifty doesn't stop you from being compromised by your class. That money doesn't sit under my mattress it's invested, which means I'm in a class of people who not only will have private money for retirement but I'm invested in the outcomes of the market like every upper middle class person.

So I'm sorry that I don't buy the whole class traitor shit, because neither the fans giving him that title nor he can actually untangle and explain his place in the world beyond saying "stop pocket watching". It's one thing to call yourself a class traitor because you bought a cool eat the rich shirt, it's another thing to actually take inventory of your life and apply socialist theory to figure that out.

If y'all are gonna LARP again as "serious leftists" for 4 years and then put it all down to elect another Joe Biden and go back to brunch then yeah. Sounds like what you want is to not care.

Also if you haven't noticed that half of your party now agrees with a core set of Trump policies because Biden/Harris implemented quite literally Trump policies or Trump adjacent policies regarding immigration, national security and trade.

Shame that seriously asking is so hard to distinguish from trolling at this point.

Common-L among left-ish Lemmy instances when you start noticing the paint chipping off of their golden idols.

Okay let's do some introspection, why does Hasan Piker need to live in LA?

He could live in La Puente which has a median sale price of $700k, 20 miles from downtown LA, but for some reason he moved to LA.

It's kind-of odd you know? That basically once a streamer, podcaster, or one of these online personalities makes it big they often move to like LA or NYC. Why is that? Why don't they move to Nabraska or something? It's kind of weird that there's this seeming class of people (new media people making it big) that have an interest in moving to some of the most expensive areas of the country that seemingly have a conglomeration of other people who are part of their class.

Who gives a fuck? Harris' own team knew she was unelectable. This is only a surprise to libs who are so high on copium they cannot read a room.

Damn you're right, that's drawn by someone who's never seen a molotov in real life lmao.

No I'm saying maybe offer people something other than tax spread sheet bullshit, which is generally all the democratic party can ever do. They fucking can't stop talking about the EITC.

Yeah it's really funny because this stream of bullshit is exactly what Democrats offer and what they talk about when they talk about how they affect normal people. By the way this is all literally just tax code mixed with cost of housing averages over 10 years. It quite literally would make sense to anyone who's ever been a big boy and model citizen by standards that liberal Democrats love to tout, like being smart, doing your own home work, and loving the optimization of spreadsheets about various cost/risk balances in your life.

The fact that you cannot understand it and blame voters for being stupid entirely shows you cannot live up to that standard. So beyond just a reflexive hatred of democracy, you're not even a good lib. And maybe, if you cannot even understand the practical application of one of the shining policies that the Democratic party loves to throw in the face of people as an example of how they made their lives better and how they will continue to do so, just maybe you're also no better than the "voters" who you consider stupid.

It's a combination of books, news sources, and some formal education. I was lucky that my highschool still heavily invested in humanities before I went off to a stupid ass tech collage. Beyond that I am constantly researching things because I'm weird. So when people pull up reasons that are fairly well documented quite literally easily sourced on wikipedia of all places it's incredibly easy for me to remember and reference them.

You seem to believe that I think I can convince others.

I think I cannot because the love and defense of Hasan doesn't come from an objective place at all. I'm merely shitposting. There are people deifying him in this thread and all over the internet.
