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.

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.

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

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

Sure but they should be called out for this racism and have it pointed out to them. They just all immediately assumed he was a “terrorist” because he’s from Yemen

Incredible that he got an interview with this guy. Seems to just be a teenager that supports his countries government and poses with guns on social media sometimes. If chud and liberal Americans were less racist, they could probably relate a lot to that lol.

Breadtube if it didn’t suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It’s open submission unless there’s something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it’s currently in.
