It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

HE COMMENTED ON CIVIL RIGHTS:

When asked: Would you have said the same thing during the civil rights movement?

He replied: "What a ridiculous and self-serving oversimplification to imply the civil rights movement was successful because people stood in the street. It's very simple, just get out of the road"

Here's the link to the video clips.

He also said this:

"What gives you the unique moral authority to break the law because of what you believe in?... It's narcissistic and entitled. That's insane. It's like these people think the world revolved around their issue..."

The pic is just a pic I found of him.

Edit: Also, if people think he doesn't matter, he's literally more popular than Hasan, especially when it comes to gaming shit.

Block a liberal's car and a fascist is slightly delayed in getting to their destination.

Man who thinks the world revolves around his own personal comfort wants to tell people protesting genocide that the world doesn't revolve around them.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Legit fascist. I'm not even kidding or exaggerating in the slightest. People who spout shit like this or agree with it would not care about colonialism or slavery or anything else that we now recognize as "bad" back when they occurred if doing so inconvenienced them in the slightest. So, where would that leave the people who would be suffering? Legit couldn't be trusted.

People like this legit would not have fought the Nazis

Asmongold during 1930s Germany: I do not care about the problems of the communists or the socialists or the trade unionists or the Jews but I do care if these people bomb the trains to protest their plights. In that case, I shall support the government! What gives you the right to break laws -

Asmongold during the 1940s Germany: Wait a second? Why am I being sent to a "labor camp"? I just want to play my games in peace! Somebody help!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Asmongold is American so in the 40s he'd just be parroting American wartime propaganda against the Nazis lol

If they lived in an Allied country then they would. They're not exactly independent thinkers. If the bourgeois parties are telling them to fight the Nazis, they're going to fight the Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And if they lived in an Axis power they'd gladly fight for the Nazis too

Everyone, listen here, the courageous centrist has piped up to give his opinion of the subject.

i-think-that "both sides are bad"

wow Incredible. This is one for the history books.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 6 months ago

It's not even that. Like, everyone memes on centrists but this take is, somehow, even worse. This dude is saying he literally doesn't care about what's happening (genocide) and that if you try to make him care in a way that inconveniences him even a little bit (by blocking a road) he will actively choose to support the side committing the genocide.

I don't even have words.

It's kind of fascinating to me the level of brainrot some streamers get after time. This guy, Ethan from h3h3. It's like their brain is just goo. There's so many clips where they can't string a thought together. Is literally just what they are now? It's sad.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 6 months ago (14 children)

Asmon's actually pretty articulate, he is just extremely selfish and honest. He doesn't give a shit about anyone. That's his entire ethos and shtick, being a hyperindividualist asshole.

Ethan and Hila both lived in Isreal.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hila is israeli and "served" in the IDF. It doesn't take that much to assume she has some takes on the situation.

What is he fucking talking about he doesn't leave his house he doesn't have a real job fuck you fuck you fuck you

[–] [email protected] 43 points 6 months ago

Like most gamers he's enraged at the thought of even being inconvenienced let alone actually meeting a human being that cares about others or isn't white

What gives Israel and USA the unique moral authority to break the law because of what they believe in?

[–] [email protected] 56 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They don't block twitch streamers' roads when they're on their way to get their chicken trendies. They block all brown peoples' roads to get life saving aid.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago

The highway of death, which was done by Russia in the call of duty.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wonder how he feels about blocking the roads that aid trucks are on...

[–] [email protected] 43 points 6 months ago (2 children)

He probably doesn't care. That doesn't affect him. In the clip he's reacting to, Hasan is trying to bring attention to literal mass graves that are being dug up in Gaza hospitals where hundreds of Palestinian men, women, and children have been found - after having been executed. And he just cuts Hasan off and says he doesn't care, he's going to side against the protesters because how dare they block roads.

The person who wipes his bleeding gums off on his wall every morning and hasnt eaten a fruit in years is a shitty person, what a shock.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (4 children)

Yeah he eats steak or mcdonals every meal and hasn't ever tried like 95% of fruits. He grew up in poverty and his parents passed away, its sad to witness honestly and sad that its played off as a joke that he's disgusting and lives in squalor. He's extremely rich now and could afford maids or a new place easily but it's part of his brand to be a removed gamer. I think some mental illness is at play here for the continued life in squalor and only eating 1 unhealthy thing when he's a multi-millionaire.

this man absolutely has scurvy (it's the Owl City in the background and the multiple things of moldy Wendy's chili that really brings this video into cinema quality)

Guy's brain been fried lately. Youtube algo always loved him, but it didn't bother me before because it was mostly just generic gamer stuff. Then the last few months it's almost exclusively clips of him whining about how woke stuff is.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 months ago (6 children)

It's a good grift I think. Or maybe it's one that once they fall into that trap, they can't get out of it. Being a "Anti-woke" youtuber chases away any decent audience, and that audience won't be coming back, so they're forced to pander to these losers for profit.

My guy has been giving me the heebi jeebies for years now, fucking despise all the fucking ASMONGOLD REACTS TO garbage-ass channels too. Every time I block one a few more pop up in the algorithm just to torment me personally

In the good old days people like this would've been driven from the tribe and left to starve come winter.

Now imagine how it feels to be a Palestinian in desperate need of aid and settlers are blocking the only road into the country. Seems much worse eh?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago

You have already lost him. 0 empathy is his brand.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 6 months ago

probably the cleanest his house has ever been from what i've gathered. he was saying dumb reactionary shit about the "woke" in gaming a bit back too. yet another dumb reactionary fascist-by-default gaming chode with too big an audience.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I remember when this site used to praise him because I think he said some shit about Bernie and healthcare and housing being unaffordable lol

Everybody is for better conditions. The question is who is willing to accept sacrifice for better conditions of people they don't know at all

Once in a blue moon I run across this absolute gross buffoon's videos. Its very annoying cause I only use newpipe and even then I see videos pop in searches. I remember a video where this fella watched hasan interviewed on piers morgan. Him and his chat got really pissed about hasan saying Israel bombed hospitals. Very annoying but also pretty sad cause there's high amount viewers who consume it and internalize it.

All the gamergate ethics in journalism adjacent people including this streamer have been for a while become "experts" spouting opinions on world events. Lot of those started latching on to anything that is currently pushed by Western military hawks.

I hate to break it to you but people who watch Asmongold or Hasan and actually get their political views from them are unlikely to actually participate in any politics IRL imo

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hasan fundraised for Palestine back in October, raising $1.2m (in addition to doing the same for the earthquake that happened in Turkey and Syria earlier in the year).

His merch line, unlike that of other online creators, is not only union-made, but goes on to support strike-funds.

He was also the single biggest donor to the Amazon Labor Union, and was introduced (and praised) by Chris Smalls at a union event.

And you have multiple instances of individuals in the real world not only getting inspired to join unions and leftist orgs due to Hasan, but succeeding in creating unions - three examples - Waymo, YDSA, Chipotle - all of which directly cite Hasan.

He's also, of course, gone to multiple strikes/protests/movements and interviewed organizers from them, like during the SAG-WGA strikes, or just recently when he interviewed the organizers of the Columbia student protests. Everything I've listed here is just stuff I remembered and then tried to provide a link for to back up my claims - there's probably so much I've forgotten.

Internet culture and its effect, especially the power of microcelebrity, on the real world is here, my friend, whether you like it or not. Hasan is one of the few people who seems to use it for good, progressive causes. You will find people in the real world who know him.
