Interview starts at 4:08:02 in the VOD
Context: Media is putting out articles like
https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/epv74k/everything-we-know-about-timhouthi-chalamet-the-yemeni-influencer-celebrating-red-sea-ship-raids , so Hasan talked to him directly
Important: Hasan asks if he knows what One Piece is https://clips.twitch.tv/ExcitedSparklyRamenWoofer-Kdnimydpec0yxUYR
is very unhappy
Hasan is currently livestreaming with an actual Houthi terrorist (according to US Govt.)
this is levels of: “america bad” that I never thought possible plus the clout goblin brain, he’s such a lolcow cringelord
Hasan asks Houthi pirate whether they watch One Piece
Yea idk, Hasan is cute-washing a literal terrorist on the biggest streaming platform. You can like or dislike Hasan, but he’s cute/funny-washing a terrorist to a young audience.
How long until he gets an Isis terrorist on stream to ask him whether he prefers Pokémon or Naruto?
repeating “terrorist” over and over again like a thought-terminating talisman, get fucked cracker
Ansar Allah are the legitimate government of Yemen and cannot be terrorists because they are state actors
even if they were they’re doing it stop a genocide. these racists think political violence is only okay if you’re a white landowner wearing a powdered wig in the 18th century
It’s also the most burger brained zero history knowledge assertion, that a naval blockade = terrorism. Blockades have always been part of war. A naval blockade by the Union was part of defeating the Confederacy in the US civil war, yet you won’t see burger brains calling Abraham Lincoln a terrorist.
blockades and sanctions used to be such an act of war that there was a bunch of hemming and hawing about sanctioning the actual nazis prior to the war actually starting.
now the US does that shit constantly and it’s just whether it’s acceptable to liberal assclowns.

Same technique as “woke” and “tankie”.
We need to formalise this tactic in language and popularise it in order to drastically undercut its ability to be used. By formalising it as a bad thing (like fallacy shit) the libs and debatebros start calling it out when they see it. This way we could weaken its ability to be used considerably.
I 've encountered the term “thought-terminating cliché” a few times, that’s the best I got off the top of my head and why I did a variation
this is levels of: “america bad” that I never thought possible plus the clout goblin brain, he’s such a lolcow cringelord
Why do they talk like this? And if facilitating a genocide isn’t enough to make America bad, then I guess these people really do just believe that America can never be bad.
“There are positive figures in the navy and and bad people in the navy”
Koby is a fucking lib and is literally best friends with a fascist. (Helmeppo)
Also if anything “good people in the Navy” just furthers the point that it’s a systemic evil and even good people can end up working in and supporting said system
The guy isn’t a terrorist he’s literally a teenager that made TikTok videos on a boat, he’s probably hot even Houthi, lmao redditors are so racist any Arab = terrorist to them. By that definition, every chud or liberal who posts pictures of themself on Facebook with an AR-15 and supports the actions of the US government is a terrorist.
Also even if he was a Houthi militant, how is a naval blockade terrorism? Were Abraham Lincoln and the Union terrorists when they enforced a naval blockade against the confederacy to stop their cotton exports? Were the allies in WW2 terrorists for enforcing a blockade against Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan? Absolutely ridiculous assertion. Blockades have always been part of war.
More like racism. War on terror propaganda really did a number on the zoomers and younger millenials, they think any Arab man = terrorist. These kids played too much call of duty and watched too many crappy American war movies, the propaganda has been internalised to the point they don’t even realise it anymore. The propaganda is so entrenched that Israel had to commit literal genocide against Palestinians for the younger generations in the West to support the people of Palestine.
If this guy is a “terrorist”, so is every American that supports the US government and has posed with a gun on social media, by their own logic.
I liked how Hasan tried to humanize the guy just as much as he tried to get a perspective on geopolitics, he’s still a 19 years old kid
I saw some comments how he must be media trained because he mostly side-stepped personal questions and focused on “free Palestine”, but these people have never talked to someone (especially a politically active teenager) with actual conviction
Fuck the Destiny fans in that thread. Those people think listening to a divorced deadbeat dad from bumfuck Nebraska makes them political scholars.
Call me accelerationist, but I’d prefer if all Destiny/Vaush fans were all just average conservatives
The politics wouldn’t change, but at least they’d be less annoying
God I hope America keeps losing footing on the global stage and the veil drops enough that people complaining about “America bad” are mercilessly dunked on for pointing out the obvious.
It’s the “are we the baddies” meme but it’s been happening for decades and they immeidatly reassure themselves they aren’t.
The man he interviewed never confirmed they were Ansarallah officially or a fighter, and the “piracy” he did was going to a tourist attraction and posting a tiktok. He’s literally just a normal Yemeni. If he’s a “terrorist” then every single Yemeni person is
If he’s a “terrorist” then every single Yemeni person is
I mean, that’s the case as far as the consensus thinks
