Hey the really cool question is: when is .World going to start complying with German law and purge all the pro-Palestinian content because it's "antisemitism"?

Ahh you see this has all been already settled for you, take the case of Twitter.

Calls of violence are not allowed on Twitter! Wow so simple right? What if there was a notorious user who was also a US President and made a call for violence? Well... guess what Twitter clarified those rules by saying:

You're allowed to call for violence if you're talking about America's foreign policy.

That's why you can say "death to Assad" but you can't say "death to healthcare CEO". It's all propaganda anyway. While there are liberals who truly believe "all lives matter", they're few and far between, most liberals use civility as cover for their ideology. That's why healthcare CEO death is bad, but Assad death is good.

US 2010: "We've created and incentivised this gigantic drag net of information based on insecure protocols, private partnership deals, FISA court orders, and outright black budget illegality"

US 2024: "Pweeze use encrypted communication (that we have vendor relations with or that we have backdoors in or that we built as a honey pot) because China can see what's happening in the drag net and they can leverage that information to compromise our idiot elites."

As with literally every other service calling for violence against the targets of US foreign policy is completely fine, but don't you dare say it the other way!

Damn this one helped a ton. Apperantly it's sandy loam, but they 100% have the rock composition wrong lol.

Imma be honest. I have tried my fucking hardest to learn this multiple times trying to roughly figure out what the best kind of foundation for stuff is and what I need to do to have better soil for vegitables, but it's impossible to do without hands on instruction.

It also doesn't help that topsoil where I am is often hummus due to leaf decomposition so it's hard to figure out if I actually have "loam" or it's something else, but also the fact that since I live on the side of a ridge you get like 3 types of "sand heavy" soil if you dig out a 4x4x2 box.

I think "Hasan exposes people to leftist ideas" is great and all, but your argument has the following lynch pin:

The right has a pipeline that’s working pretty damn well to slowly convert people from neocons to fascism, and it often starts with talking about their entertainment or being in the guise of entertainment itself (like with comedians, like Rogan, Crowder, etc).

This has a couple of parts we need to inspect:

1. People need to "hear this stuff" -- which fine I agree with.
2. "hearing stuff" on the left translates to the same outcomes that "hearing stuff" on the right does. -- This is where you lose me.

The Right has it easy. It's why they can be boring, lazy, stupid and evil. They have it easy because not only are they the status-quo, but their arguments have big salacious things they can point to. Capitalism exists, the US Empire exists, and people's suffering exist. The right doesn't actually need people to continue it's project in the same way the left needs people. The Right can sustain itself on morons running into walls until the whole system collapses under its own weight. There is a pinprick of sunlight between your average neocon and your average fascist. Hell there's only a 4ft window of sunlight between a liberal and a fascist. The last 2 libs that ran were hard to distinguish from fascists if you understand fascism (most people only understand the aesthetics of fascism and only in particular contexts). Fascism is easy because it's the logical ends of an already existing system of capitalism. All you have to do is give the morons something to do and let the system run, that's why culture war is great for the right. Fascism more or less exists as a real and in-power political force in most of the Western World.

The Left needs people to build an alternative, something that doesn't exist, something that works for everyone, something intelligent and intelligible. The only way to do this is to be armed with the knowledge of the past, cognizant enough to understand the landscape of the present, have enough foresight to visualize the future, planing capacity to deal with the logistics, and the resources to put it into motion.

"Roganism" will never deliver these things. In fact "Roganism" will simply get you a bunch of consumers. The only way that "Roganism" will prevail for the left is if we are already at war and we simply need bodies to take orders and to pull triggers.

Now Hasan isn't really responsible for any of this, he's an entertainer. He's a good entertainer, he has okay politics. But that's it, there's no there there beyond that.

Hasan makes $1.4 million a year about probably more now. If we pretend that everyone paying for that is "the left", we're doing the same type of spending as we criticize the DNC for. Hasan is our Beyonce concert, our Oprah interview, it's just spread out over the whole year. That didn't work for the Democrats. Meanwhile the Democrats also have it easy. 90% of what they want literally just exists as is. They can be losers forever if they wanted to, and they do.

The Democrats might be missing a "message" or "policy" or any desire to help people in any realistic way that isn't a spreadsheet, and it's stupid that they paid for Beyonce thinking it will get them over the line. Leftists don't have a unified platform and don't even have a machine, but it's smart that we "pay" for Hasan? That's really the argument that I'm reading from all this:

1. Hasan streams
2. Somebody thinks yeah medicare for all
3. ??????
4. ?????
5. ?????
6. politically viable leftism in the US

It's the same argument:

1. Everyone has a brat summer
2. Oprah fumbles Kamala thru a question
3. Beyonce performs
4. ????
5. ????
6. ????
7. Democrats win.

I think one thing a lot of Westerners don't want to understand is that socialism necessitates the death of American media culture. That includes the Hasan path, because what is Hasan under socialism? The US overproduces media culture to the point where it's gig work, because of the same exact reason that "Roganism" works. Hasan's path under socialism is to either go back to an organization where he will be subjected to the same if not worse circumscription he had at TYT, pick another career or at best be the last of a dying breed. No socialist economy is actually going to be able to support the ecology of streamers needed to generate Hasans. Hasan likes what he does, when push comes to shove is he going to give it up for socialism? It's really easy to say that, it's another thing to actually do it. Given his personal consumption and what he talks about, I have my doubts that Hasan is going to tighten the Gucci belt for us.

A lot of Western socialists assume that the desired individualized labor mix of the population is a realistic goal. The idea that everyone does what they want to do is not real. Yes people will still want to do certain necessary jobs, but that doesn't mean enough people will want to do them to ensure social reproduction. We can talk about robots and magical maguffins till the cows come home, but in practice until those maguffins are created and function good enough humans will still have to do those jobs.

I don't subscribe to the Intercept and read them all the time you can click out of their paywall.

Spoiler it's everyone's favorite whodunnit with Syrian chemical weapons.

It depends on how the program works. If SteamOS works like Android then yeah we might be cooked on the hardware support. If SteamOS works like a normal linux distro/OS we'll get more support.

In practice this is a good thing because most of the parts of SteamOS are open source, meaning that as long as you don't have a device with a locked bootloader you'd be able to run comparable OS simply using all the software that's bundled in Steam OS.

Haha. If this comment section is positive it proves nobody read the actual article.... because in the middle of it is a huge trigger for a certain kind of user around here lmao.

If you're from the UK the situation is the same. The entire system came down on Corbyn, but there are very few places in the world right now where there are real leftist politics happening.
