"If we don't take the Balkans, someone else will" caused the war, and afterwords "If we don't take the Middle East, someone else will" caused our present matter. And the jacked up thing is they weren't wrong! It's never wrong, it just sucks.

@IMAO_ Correct. That’s how we treated Gamergate and the alt-right, and it didn’t result in any difficulties; everything was fine.

Hasan Piker seems like Nick Fuentes in that no one knows anyone who takes him seriously, but supposedly he appeals to angry morons which are said to be important to the coalition which means you shouldn’t constantly point out how stupid and vile their views are.

@Regan_Smart @SykesCharlie I remember when I thought “Gamergate” and rest of the “alt-right” was just a weird Internet thing 99% of Americans weren’t aware of, and didn’t matter.

@SykesCharlie lol, 99% of Americans have no idea who he is. This is stupid, stop trying to make him a thing. But good luck, I guess, as Dems focus on higher costs for everything, inflation, Trump's endless war, chaos and corruption.

Not surprisingly, Piker has turned out to be a massive gift to the GOP, which is weaponizing Piker’s commentary. You may not have seen them, but his latest comments have gone viral on right-wing media. Tens of millions of dollars of GOP ads are being written as we speak. This week, The Atlantic’s Chait warned that embracing Piker could cause Democrats to lose an otherwise winnable Senate seat in Michigan. open.substack.com/pub/charliesyk…

@JoeReynolds2020 @SykesCharlie Republicans prioritize their loathing of Democrats more than all other considerations. That’s why the beat Democrats, too many of whom are offended at the idea of prioritizing hatred of Republicans over all other considerations.

@LisaGrande13 @SykesCharlie We’re not going anywhere, so long as young “Democrats” (who despise Democrats like poison) continue to espouse the world’s dumbest mindset ever seen anywhere at any time. 🤷‍♂️ It is a conundrum

@SykesCharlie When the GOP’s Hasan / Crime / Mao ads work super effectively, the extreme left will simply blame “centrist libs” for letting the ads persuade them, and gloat over how the GOP beat Dems again because they refused to do extreme leftism again.

"I'm a liberal because I believe in a system of manners that obfuscates class relationships." Yes, I'm glad we can agree on that!
Emma Camp@emmma_camp_

One of the reasons I am a liberal and not a leftist is that leftist morality is about power, not rights. Good actions reduce power imbalances, bad actions exacerbate them. Murder, theft, and discrimination can all be justified if they harm a “powerful” person or group. Liberals condemn these actions because they violate individual rights and dignity. Liberalism seeks equal rights, leftism seeks equal power.

@EricLevitz @MonicaLMarks For a year or more, I’ve noticed a lot of the anonymous anti-liberal accounts on here have been talking up China as an all-purpose alternative or upgrade from the US and its leadership.

Hasan Piker has said that China is the country that's come closest to realizing his socialist ideals. This is a curious choice. Even if one puts economic equality above political liberty, the Nordic social democracies are way more egalitarian vox.com/politics/48609…

@hecubian_devil Exponentially multiplied in Piker's case, as I've got to imagine it's also his exceptional nose for his relatively underserved audience of [slurs libs use for leftists] with Very Online Low Social Trust Syndrome.

@Bram_R I agree, but I think that's independent of the specific stances of people like Tolentino or Piker--if anything, *their* low social trust is probably downstream of how online they are!

There’s an obvious question being missed or elided here: is this sentiment a cause, or a *byproduct* of declining social trust? I think it’s probably both, to some extent, but I’d lean towards “byproduct” predominating—and it seems like most of the libs are getting that wrong

@hecubian_devil I'm 100% sure Lower Social Trust is being caused by The Internet, to the point my very leisurely backfilling of that conviction with motivated analysis only if ever absolutely necessary, makes perfect sense to me.

If people are behaving in low-trust ways, why is that? *Why* have they lost trust in institutions, rules, laws, or the social order generally? Is there real grievance at the heart of it? Is it fixable? Or are all these individuals just Morally Worse with no causal force?

@hecubian_devil Individuals can choose to behave as tho they value social trust more highly than it's felt. We rarely do bc we're rarely that intentional But someone broadcasting to an audience, a literal "Influencer," ought to behave w more wholesome intention. Great Power Great Responsibility

There’s a very idealistic (in the Marxist sense—that is to say, not empirical, not materialist) notion here that individuals should just *choose* to have trust in social institutions. We *ought* to all just behave in a high-trust way that respects the prevailing order

@hecubian_devil As a lib, I see the sentiment as a byproduct of declining social trust and that decline's complex origins. But that's why we REALLY don't want it to become a cause also, a full-throttle vicious spiral, which explains our apoplexy upon hearing it evangelized in mainstream channels

@PinstripeBungle Centrist or moderate? One absolutely can’t be “radicalized” into being a moderate, that’s more like mellowing out and learning some humility and acceptance of limits

"Oh, but Brian Thompson was a health care CEO. That's different." A lot of right-wingers think college professors are indoctrinating a generation of Communists. Would they be justified in assassinating them? Are bureaucrats who work for an unpopular government fair game?

The more I hear from this guy the more I stand by my original assessment. The throughline of his entire oeuvre is glazing and stoking political violence. Which makes sense because he’s hostile to liberal democracy and the mutual toleration it encourages.

Hasan Piker is legitimately a genocidal maniac who would kill tens of millions of people if he ever had real political power. Why are so many Democrats intent on including him in their political coalition? Are they aware this is a breaking point moment for a lot of people?
