I mean you can take it whatever way it makes sense to you; it’s definitely not a take that’s easy to understand his POV without more context but if you watch enough of his stream you start to get what he’s actually taking about. Plus even if not, the dude streams 8 hours a day almost everyday; there’s going to occasionally be some boneheaded takes.

Just in case this isn’t trolling, the shock collar thing was a complete hoax. He doesn’t own a shock collar. He literally showed the collar on stream. The Pragmata thing was him responding to incels using the game to push narratives that the game is going to “save white birthrates”. When he says “capital G Gamers” he’s not referring to just anyone who plays video games, he’s specifically talking about the same folks who think any minority representation in games as being “woke mindvirus” and also who immediately sexualized the child character in the game. In both cases it’s mostly Destiny (pedophile/sexpest) fans and other folks who already hate Hasan pushing an agenda.

It’s likely some of those have already slipped through. I hear what you are saying, but it makes no sense to me that Trump (or more likely, Stephen Miller) would bother creating a new radical militia when DHS is already right there, with way more funding, infrastructure, and basically zero oversight.

Trump is also not in the habit of paying people when he could simply promise to pay people and pocket the cash instead. I can’t honestly see any J6ers getting any of this money outside of maybe one or two just for the news ragebait/distraction.

This is along the lines of my thinking as well. Insinuate it’s going to J6ers (as if that’s not already who has been signing up for the ICE bonuses that will never be doled out) and then just pocket it. The dumb fucks in the base have shown they don’t need payment to pledge undying loyalty just so long as they can keep the hate train going.

Neither would a separate private militia with $1.8b im funding so how is that relevant here?

Why bother? He already has one with ICE

No clue why you’re gettimg downvoted. Sometimes it feels like Lemmy exists in this weird quasi liberal bubble where they think leftist=tankie. Like do the people replyimg to go not understand that the DNC has a record low approval rating as well?

Because if they can’t win with their corpo zombie zionist center-right candidate, they’d rather lose and play feckless controlled “opposition” than do anything to jeopardize their gravy train with a progressive.

He had kind of a shit take after Kirk got murked tbh

This is a really bad take

Only thing is that table salt contains iodine which is something our body needs and generally we don’t get from a lot of other sources. So if you completely switch over to pink salt you might see problems with iodine deficiency.

I don’t think most leftists are looking for an ideologically pure candidate, they’re looking for someone who will actually represent the people. The Israel issue is a great example of this disconnect; amongst Dem voters 90% are against supporting Israel, and yet there’s only a handful of Democrat politicians who have are agaimst sending Israel military aid. It’s really not a high bar for candidates to clear, and yet establishment Dems just keep SPRINTING to the right.

Leftists arent their own enemies, their enemies are neoliberals.

It’s not going to be JD. Mark my words, save my comment, it’s going to be Tucker Carlson. And if that happens and Dems haven’t changed their tune we are absolutely fucked.
