Akademiks on stream with Hasan

[King Jove]

Eh, I think humans in general are too selfish for socialism to happen at all, and this goes beyond the basic Marxist assumption that humans are greedy by default by the system that encourages it. I think, we need to develop the people, which can be done significantly easier, than promoting a complete structure change. We can actually train/teach empathy, we can teach critical thinking, ethics, morality, logic, these things should see to a faster transition towards the tenets of socialism as opposed to the structure approach.

Consider, most philosophers support socialism, the next largest group only support a lean (17% lean, 12% accept) towards capitalism, even I would fall into the lean as a SocDem that is simply a SocDem for practicality.

If people have a better grasp of the things that serve as basic foundations for most philosophers, we should have a better outcome. And this can be influenced through public policy for education, youtube channels, book recommendations, etc., easy avenues for changing thought.

While I don't think Social Democracy fixes the problems, I've also said this before

Social Democracy has shown to be the "best" system implemented so far, and the best compromise between Socialism and Capitalism. Regulated capitalism with an emphasis on social safety nets, and bias towards the working class, rather than the corporate elite. A system that benefits the 99% at the expense of the 1% makes more sense than a system that benefits the 1% at the expense of the 99%. Corporations are supposed to work for the Government than the Government work for corporations. Germany, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway have implemented it pretty successfully so far, and their people are happier because of it.

There is a reason full blown Communism has not been implemented successfully just like there is a reason full blown free market ultra capitalism has not been replicated since probably slavery.

I want to say it's net benefit, I suppose it is, I just wish he would take philosophy more seriously, especially brushing up on econ and political history. The guy isn't dumb, imo, and I guess he is pressed for time given the stream hours, but you take the mantle, and you have to accept the responsibility. Something I'm sure he acknowledges.

Haven't watched his stream in a while, so not sure what he is up to right now, I last saw him having beyond goofy takes on the Russia/Ukraine situation at the start of the year. lol

don't disagree with anything you wrote... I'm a fan of majority report and the thoughtful analysis they produce, but seder and co could never just twitch stream for hours and call people pussies, betas, cucks. it's not in their DNA.

while i only watch hasan in 20-30 minute highlight cuts, it's refreshing to see someone hit at the same wavelength of pool, tate, crowder etc. dude just laughs people like shapiro off like a midget dweeb. can't hate it.

I watch Sam Seder as well. I don't agree with Hasan all the time, but Hasan is ok for introducing a younger audience to "leftist" politics in a way that makes it more entertaining and accessible to younger people that would otherwise be swayed away from politics because they think it's "boring". Also like you said, it's refreshing to see SOMEONE give a strong push back to the garbage far right-wing daily onslaught.

 

[ineedsleep212]

You see it!

When people say this, it's funny to me. Like what are you seeing? That's majority from subs. Fans literally giving him money. What's the grift? There is no hypocrisy either lol.

 

[Reflected]

While I don't think Social Democracy fixes the problems, I've also said this before

Definitely doesn't fix the problem, SocDem, for me, is pure practicality. The goal would be establishing through incrementalism, safety nets for the people in different areas of concern and hoping it becomes so ingrained that the next government couldn't do anything about it and down the line, it's not even something up for consideration, like the ACA for example. It's just, I want the underlying principles of SocDem to be guide on incremental legislation, which essentially translates to ensuring the best protections for the citizens above all.

Supporting SocDem as an approach is merely a compromise for me given the current state of thought, especially in America, so I think I have an obligation to work towards that purely based on probability.

Nah, you are right, it's people like Hasan that are best to do it in that environment, even though I would prefer a Seder. lol

Would love to see him debate Vaush or Destiny

We desperately need black leftist on Twitch/YT who can adequately and eloquently put these red pillers and black conservatives in check. Its insane that in 2022 we have to depend on white leftists to defend against black redpillers who spout white supremacist talking points. There is a serious brain drain in black social media. Outside of Roland Martin (whose old) I don't see anyone with a large enough platform to take these idiots to task.

If we had a black version of Hasan, Destiny or Vaush a lot of these black red pillers and right wing grifters (i.e. Candace Owens, Fresh & Fit,Akademiks, etc) wouldn't have blown up the way they did. We desperately need black intellectuals that can navigate the modern social media landscape and counteract some of the stupidity.

You pretty much said the quiet part out loud

Hasan serves as a good entry point for other leftist YouTubers who are more insightful.

 

[ISO]

Thought this was Hassan Campbell

 

[Elim Garak]

Ok I thought it was maybe Hasan Piker lol.

 

[MaxBundles]

I think this is like 70% of it but I'm not sure for how long they talked.

This whole time I'm reading thru this thread, I'm thinking you nikkas talking about Hasan Campbell smfh who the fukk is this cac?
I'm out

 

[fact]

Yes, Sedar is the best political commentator alive, for my money, but Hasan is a good pipeline for the kids that be on twitch, watching these streamers all day and night.

 

[Elim Garak]

akademiks can't debate and cacs like Hassan spend their online career doing these fast arguments. On top of that, akademiks has said he's become more "republican" since Biden/Trump.


They are, it's just a first step.

More Republican? Dude said he's voting for Trump straight up and his main reason was the stock market something Trump inflated at the start of the pandemic.

 

[At30wecashout]

Every black person who professes to be an independent thinker gets their white supremacist cosplay on. Every. fukking. Time.

 

[KamikazePilot]

Most African and Caribbean immigrants hold the exact same beliefs ak holds but people say we’re xenophobic when we call it be out.
