“I debated Mehdi Hasan and got fired for it” is going to turn into a viable grift for several of these fascist douchebags. This is why you don’t platform fascists.

One of the top donors on that fundraiser is named Elijah Schaffer. That’s the same name as the right-wing pundit who was inside Pelosi’s office on J6 and who got fired from BlazeTV for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman he worked with. Might just be a coincidence, but 🤔🤔🤔

okay, but irl pepe the frog memes are very clearly the actual threat? tim pool is literally in the white house press pool... "don't engage with nazis because you're just platforming them" is nice in theory, and would make sense if they were still on the fringes of 4chan/8chan. but it's not the case.

I'm getting really sick of these takes, because where are alternatives on how we actually reach these audiences, then??? it's been over a decade now of young men being radicalized by youtubers and podcasters and it should be SO fucking obvious by now that "just ignore them" DOES NOT WORK.

class solidarity and a legitimate economically populist agenda is, on a broad horizon surely the answer. but needless to say that has a lot more barriers to success than "let's get the fascist to admit they're a fascist so everyone else can see they're a fascist."

Fundraiser is over $10k now btw. Comments in the donations are a mix of 4chan jokes, blessings and prayers (esp from Catholics), and racism and antisemitism

I put most of the blame for this on Jubilee btw, but I’m still pretty annoyed to see Mehdi Hasan using this to pump up his subscriber numbers and talking about how he picked apart these clowns.

He officially surpassed his $15k goal. And is well on his way to $16k. Something tells me it’s going to go way beyond that.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social SHOULD expose ppl like this. exposing them is a million times better than leaving them in the dark to fester. that’s why we’re where we are NOW bc ‘taking the high road’ ended up with us in the damn gutter. no. expose them!! 👏👏👏👏

the thing with Hasan is that he’s addicted to debating (by his own admission) and thus he will exploit the living shit of a clip of him dunking on any bigot.
