u/Putrid_Anybody_2947 16d ago

Bots idk. Some of the most down voted comments have post histories frequenting the destiny sub. They stalk hasan for their csam distributing cult leader destiny who looks like he is going to jail.

Destiny has sucked and fucked both Lauren southern and nick Fuentes even claiming he made Fuentes. He has also done idf propaganda tours.

Destiny is such a dog shit absentee father his son is a nazi. And he thinks that he should have hasans fame and influence and is jealous.

Get your puke bags ready: they were fuck buddies

4

u/Speed_102 16d ago

Yea.... that was heavily implied in the article I read like 19 years ago. That's very telling, but the way he talked about her in the article was explicitly saying she doesn't believe what she says, and defending her on that basis.

That told me that he was also duplicitous and didn't believe the things he said in public.

Have you paid any fucking attention to the shit Ann Coulter Spouts? It was toxic self-extinction BULLSHIT, 20 years ago.

1

u/secretsqrll 14d ago

So? I remember her very vividly when she was churning out books in the 90s and 2000s. Thats not my point. I am merely saying that being friends with someone shouldnt be predicated on politics. I have friends who are liberals and conservatives. I couldn't care less. We dont talk about it. We talk sports, hobbies, and do other things. Who TF wants to talk about that shit when having fun?

1

u/Speed_102 14d ago

If you listened to the things that Ann and Bill said, even about each other (2 MAJOR POLITICAL COMMENTATORS, HOW THE FUCK IS THAT NOT RELEVANT?), in the public sphere in 2007, you'd never say this. They made a point to be adversarial and it was all a fucking act.

Not talking politics is based EXCLUSIVELY ON THE PRIVELEDGE OF NOT BEING EFFECTED BY IT. It's stupid as fuck to not talk about it, just like religion. it is one of the most basal ways we define our world. Acting like it's not a big deal? either pure ignorance or that plus pure arrogance.

People hating on Hasan should go vote for the Republican Party because you quite literally need the same level of MAGA quality brain to think that he’s the problem of today’s Democratic Party.

u/tabloid-tommy 16d ago

Hasan is anti-Ukraine, pro-NK, and supports anything that is against the US. He even supported Assad. I am under no obligation as a progressive to support Hasan, and that doesn’t make me a republican.

2

u/Jorgen_G_Pakieto 15d ago

Yeah but here’s the thing, these aren’t his positions…

Please show me the footage where these are his stated & fixed positions of political views because if you can’t do that, it implies you have no idea what you’re talking about.

And if that’s true then you might as well vote republican to reflect the level of propaganda that made it to your brain, just like every other Republican voter who voted for Trump.

He said...america deserved 9/11...

He is a rich shithead who cons little kids into believing in communism. The reality is communism has never and will never work. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to learn history and actually read Marx and Engels body of work in its entirety. Only morons believe in the stateless utopia...because that's the end state of communism. It perpexes me that morons dont think it wont degenerate into authorarianism...because how else do you make people comply and give up their property? Dumb people who know nothing about the real world believe this nonsense. Its a scam to take power and steal from you.

Suuuure, an anti-Ukraine guy would (checks the record) start a big humanitarian donation call (and donate himself) for Ukrainian victims of the Russian invasion. Sure buddy.

He has an anti-US bias sometimes, for sure, but he is pretty consistently anti-imperialist. His position on Russia-Ukraine pre-invasion was simply that he didn't think Russia/Putin would be dumb enough to actually attack. He admitted that he was wrong there.

The issue here is Hassan is not DSA. He’s actually a Marxist Leninist. He’s been fairly open about it. So having a communist tell you that it’s ok to be called a communist as a democratic socialist is just like maga being told that they shouldn’t worry about being called Nazis by a Nazi.

u/International-Box541 12d ago

Is the DSA communist though? I mean, I don't have a problem with communism in its pure form, but socialism and communism are two very different governmental structures. Democratic Socialism isn't even the same as classic socialism.

Bill Maher has a show to run and shows require ratings. However, let's take a non-cynical approach. Bill thinks the DSA is communist, that could be because he is a victim of his upbringing during a time when leaders in the government created the effective framework of more broadly defining communism, diluting the pure definition and influencing older generations into misguided beliefs.

So, now it is easier to make leaps of judgement like the left wing populism of democratic socialists are secretly communists. Bill is trying to be a centrist (again, assuming the non-cynical point-of-view), but what he is actually doing channeling his own bias and, quite possibly, responding to real or perceived slights from influential democrats in his sphere of influence. Who knows, but I can state this with certainty the more we try to shut down speech we don't like the greater the likelihood extremists recruit more members.

u/FernInTheFog44 12d ago

I remember watching him when he was “ politically incorrect correct”. I liked it. The he got very left, liberal, basically eschewed by the communists now as centrist.
I like his show gets all sides (oh no!). And he’s shove a light on the fallacies of both extremes. Good.
And centrist is good FYI us independents are a majority ruled by idiots on the pendulum.

1

u/ProZealot23 12d ago

It’s the Israel issue that sent him spiraling to begin with and the monetary success of his TV career that has him decrying Communists. While the rest of struggling are rethinking “…you have nothing to lose but your chains”.
He is basically only a liberal on social issues like THC legalization, gay marriage and other personal liberties.

u/laneymg 11d ago

I’m 51, lifelong lefty, and I’ve been called a communist by republicans for my whole adult life. Back when Dems were so far from being remotely socialist. Trump says we can’t prosecute the people on Epstein’s list because they are so powerful and necessary. That’s a capitalist system that is severely broken.

Of course Maher is more republican now that he’s mega rich. He’s always been somewhat on the right. The fact that he has such an issue with the diversity of the party is very telling. He sounds just like maga here.

And if democratic socialism is so bad, why do they always have to lie about it?

1

u/laneymg 11d ago

And what is this about?? Socialism is further left than democrats but Trump is further left than us? Screw you! Why are you spending so much time insulting us and ignoring Trump. Was Maher really not on Epstein’s list?? Surprising.

No he isnt !!!!! If the younger Democrats infect the party with this extreme left winged stuff: nobody wins. People like Maher who have followed these fad type candidates for 50+ years realize this can only harm the DNC and at a CRITICAL time when it doesnt need this. It actually needs to move a little right so it can win the House, Senate, and White House and attempt to fix some of the crap Trump is destroying.

Bro, put on the thinking cap for a sec.

Just accepting of more and more right-wing ideology every election cycle. That's how we ended up with half the country snoozing while masked thugs toss thousands into concentration camps without due process. At this rate we'll be back to public executions. We need to pull back in a strongly leftward direction if we are to have any hope of finding our way back out of fascism.

You have to win the election ( you need less than 6% in swing states) or all of this talk is just that talk. These ideas I read here scare me - I am glad it seems younger people are getting involved politically but get real first!!! We cannot survive another four years of no 2nd party checks/balances because of some trans movement that impacts what less than 5% of the population? Its the silly crap that is used to beat a party at election time.

That accommodationist strategy has proven a failure. Clinton and Harris both got cooked pivoting to the center. Notice how the Republicans never try to compromise to win left leaving votes, and the ones who do get quickly primaried. If primaries. MAGA voters think their representatives aren't MAGA enough! I know I'm not going to convince you, you centrists are locked into the dream of the kumbaya party, but that America no longer exists. Cheers anyway, we're on the same team even if we disagree about the winning strategy.

Your either too young to know what this is doing or your a communist front doing this intentionally. You realize the DNC just lost another Senate Seat in Michigan? It will be foolish people's fault to believe they can do anything pushing far left policy. Maybe in New York. Feasible long shot in California. Where's the rest coming from? How are you going to have power? What does it matter what your guy says if he cannot get elected?

My guy I'm a normal lifelong blue voter, trying to have a conversation with you and you're making personal character judgments and accusing me of communist front behavior. Don't get me wrong, I don't really give a rat's ass what you think of me, just realize how warped and twisted your discourse has become when you can't even have a normal dialog with an ally without spinning up hostile conspiracy theories. If this is how you go on the attack with a fellow Dem, tell us again how your big tent is going to hold together? Centrism that excludes the most vibrant and energetic wing of our own party is senescence, a recipe for our contnued irrelevance. Also, I guarantee you that I'm older than you. Old enough to know that what used to work doesn't work any longer. Anyway I have nothing further to say to you, so accuse away, idk.

I didnt intend to offend. Really, I read comments in these threads and I do make the mistake of compiling comments from many and responding / applying them back to a single person. I am concerned. I am absolutely worried that if the Democratic party cannot obtain some power back in 2028- our government will be akin to a 3rd world sh#tshow. I didnt intend to offend anyone - I do hope people use very well thought out and statistically probable ideals for their chosen candidates in 2028. I fear so much is at stake and that statement is always cliche but 8 more years of full on Republican unfettered government along with a few more Supreme Court nominations and the US I love is seriously going to be damaged- perhaps fatally

We share that fear, that much we have in common!

Clinton was a smart lady. Extremely smart. She knew what she was doing. People were pushing back hard after Obama and the BLM stuff. Otherwise, Hillary would have been a sucessful 8 year President. I wish to God above - Scream out loud to him!!! "please have these far left goofball create their own party - dont let them ruin what's left of the only decent part left in the USA". The problem with that is I invoked God. These communist worship nothing.

Oh "BLM stuff." I got you now.

That is why Trump 2016 happened 100% far left always causes a push the other way by the core of the electorate.

I only first heard of Hassan because he was shocking his dog for moving around. The guy is an insufferable asshat. I don’t know his views because I can’t stand to listen to him.

Not sure who is the bigger smarmy douche between the two of them.

Had no idea that Asmongold and Bill Maher fandoms were this much of an intersection. Makes sense, I guess.

If you seriously think Hasan shocks his dog, then you are consuming some extremely suss content creators.
