come on, you know that's not true
I love talking politics with people and I have talked to A LOT of libs. Most agree that we need to tax the corporations more, the capitalists have gotten too greedy, we should spend more of the defense budget on healthcare, infrastructure etc.
Not a single one of them thinks that revolution should be anywhere on the table. And when some of them finally admit that China is doing something good, it’s only because China is not socialist, it is a capitalist country! That’s why it is able to raise the living standards of its people because they have adopted some of our capitalist policies! But unlike us, they’re totalitarians!
They're not dedicated communists, but neither are they dedicated radlibs. If streamers are your yardstick, Vaush has 240k followers on twitter. Hasan has 1.4 million.
Political americans, especially those of us who get more than our recommended daily intake of internet, have trouble understanding this, but most people do not care about politics as such.
Hasan is a first worldist? Really?
Is this a bit? It's just a normal house.
It's a nice house yeah, but it's just a house, and his extended family lives in it.
But yeah being a socialist means not having a house. Kulaks were Kulaks because they had homes, not because they were petty agricultural capitalists who acted against the revolution. Real theory hours.
Despite that, saying Hasan is a First Worldist is insane, regardless of whatever your house opinion of him is. He's been consistently supportive of struggles in the global south, and critical of imperial ventures.
This is such an aesthetics focused, vibe based, reach of a criticism lol. The North Hollywood-Long Beach bourgeois housing line. He'd have the same money regardless of where he bought his house, and he'd have earned in the exact same way.
His material relationship to how he generates that money is what matters. He's not a capitalist. He's not even a petite bourgeois. The exact location of his zip code isn't a defining ideological marker.
Ideology is stored in the zip code
i don't know when saloons became "sports cars" but the taycan is almost as stupid of a product as the hummer EV
That's fair yeah.
Hey, DAE think living in a house you can afford makes you a class enemy?
