First I was gonna tell OP to take their fake woke identity politics bullshit back to skate twitter and concoct trashy fictional outrage plots with the likes of Kyle Beachy over there. Then I thought maybe they're not doing well with all the backtracking, contradicting and skewed takes on reality. Now I'm finding it most likely this is some false flag counterinsurgence from the Tim Pool camp in expectation of the GH takedown vid.
Not just against GH but also Ricky Glaser who iirc has clearly denied working for Tim Pool but somehow this is presented as fact here? Update appreciated if I've missed out on any developments here tho.
Anybody who thinks Hasan Piker is "the only antifascist voice we have" is more terminally internet brained than GH will ever be. And lol at the absolute units on here mistaking Daniel Radcliffe for Hitler.
bold of you to assume i'm a "fake-woke-identity-politics-bullshit" liberal. i'm anti-capitalist you idiot, and i'm extremely well-versed. you will not catch me slipping or "backtracking"; i'm not a reactionary like you; i have specific philosophical texts i work off (Hegel, Deleuze, Marx).
as i said, Ricky Glaser is a Tim Pool associate. sus of you to try to subvert my remark by twisting it into acting like i said he's Tim Pool's employee.
1) now name me a single anti-fascist voice in the mainstream eye other than Hasan. and i don't mean fascist in the reactionary way you understand it of people showing up at drag shows or whatever the fuck with guns. i mean the systemic fascism that economic liberalism both theoretically and anecdotally slips into (as we are witnessing), where the rich get richer/rarer and the working class becomes homeless and made to be criminals/die while useful pawns like you rush to defend the very system causing it.
2) also, name one point where i contradicted myself. a single one.
do not shy from these two things i'm asking of you. i typically don't debate because it's wasteful as a food fight, but i've an audience and i can already tell from the language you are using and your username that you are an easy target and that i can easily embarrass the shit out of you with little ontological toll. and this has nothing to do with my ego, i just find it infuriating that you can so casually dismiss antifascist perspectives during a literal genocide and homelessness epidemic.
dumbass lib. "identity politics" smh, this material dialectics right here
There's a lot to unpack here. I would say that I am likely sympathetic to many of your points regarding critique of capitalism. Well, at least, I would think so, but you have not really provided substantive critque of capitalism. Your lived experience matters, however, and that is good enough for me.
It is curious that you cite Hegel, Marx, and Deluze as philosophers helping you to form your opinions on anti-capitalist activism. Although, as I will admit, anti-capitalist philosophy is too beholden to academic enslavement, I think it's important to note that those philosophers, despite popular rhetoric, are deeply problematic for trying to proclaim Marxist theory in the present state. How are you approaching these figures? Because in many respects, they are at odds with one another. Deluze's poststructural nonsense is just that and is predicated on an indifference to the subject. Hegel's teleology, amongst other things, has been disastrous as it has been understood, and this critique was even known by Marx who wrote in his Economic Manuscripts(1844) as such. Dialectical Marxism is a failure, in many senses, because it reduces the complexities of all things, most particularly human experiences -- such as your lived experience -- to a dualism. Any philosophy that is fixed in duality, rather than plurality made sense in unity is destined to be reductionistic. I think there are many more compelling voices that use Marxist theory to speak to our current circumstances. Many of whom, I add, are very critical of the figures you mentioned. See especially many feminist critiques of Marxist theory, or religious critiques of Marxist theory. There's a great historian, Eugene Mcaraher, who wrote a tome "The Enchantments of Mammon: How Capitalism Became the Religion of Modernity" that sort of seeks to save Marxism from Marx.
