Comment on hexbear users are the rick and morty fanbase of lemmy instances
SomeGuyNamedDave@lemm.ee 1 week agoI don’t love or watch hasan, but he cannot be as bad as voosh, surely? Like if you need to watch a big streamer, I’d see a hasan fan as someone with good intentions, but I’d be wary of a vaush fan; anything in the destiny orbit has stage 4 debatebro cancer.

they both have a hard-on for authorian regimes is all I mean. I wasn’t comparing their degrees of harm

I occasionally watch both vaush and hasan segments on youtube, along with many other lefitst youtubers.
vaush doesn’t do debates anymore, hasn’t done one in… over a year at this point, almost two years?
I’ve heard him explain a few times now that debating anybody with hardcore right wing views is less than unproductive at this point, as none of those people are any kind of capable of arguing in good faith, thus all you’re doing is platforming them.
also vaush is routinely quite critical of authoritarian regimes.
hasan, on the other hand, yeah, i agree, he has (at least initially? not sure if his stance has changed since) defended the russian occupation of crimea, he has platformed people that go waaay beyond being just anti-zionist and go all the way into general antisemitism, basically played defense for the Chinese government’s actions against uyghurs…
he’s much closer to a tankie, and tankies are what hexbear has a whole lot of, those are the rabid posters and mods you stereotypically get there.
So… I am confused as to how you would say hexbear loves both vaush and hasan, when … rabid hexbears basically are tankies… and would generally agree with hasan (or think he doesn’t go far enough), and despise vaush.

Sorry to bother you again, but I’m curious - what’s hasans hardon for authoritarian regimes? I’d like to know, I don’t want to advocate for that just because I’m not familiar. If you dont have time that’s fine, but I thought it would be best to ask instead of staying ignorant. :D

him calling the Uyghur concentration camps “reeducation camps”. also getting his news from Russian sources, like when he defended the Russia annexing Crimea.
