He so dreamy though. Memba the GQ pictures?

If my body wasn't so busted I would prefer general labor. Over almost any desk job. I hate it. I don't have a chat section. At least with general labor i felt like i actually did something of worth at the end of the day.
I honestly miss being a dish washer. Work at your own pace (within reason), get to take breaks whenever so long as shit isn't piled up, and no dealing with customers.
Unfortunately I'm just too tall to do it without eating NSAIDS like Skittles. Most of the sinks were barely dick height for me.
i challenge you to suffer his stupid fucking chat for a day... a lot of people would prefer back breaking labor.
No
I think I actually believe him when he says its soul-sucking. He's obviously missing a lot of perspective on what he calls 'real jobs', but that doesn't mean there isn't an emotional toll from what amounts to being a clown whose paycheck is derived from the whims of literally faceless masses
I agree. The algorithm wants you constantly putting out annoying shit to keep their audience hooked. At first you are creative! Monetizing your hobby! Soon you have a hole on your resume, a demanding schedule, a soulless algo, a capricious audience you must grow... Yeah I think I'd take corporate life over being a streamer or whatever.
Its even eaten traditional creative careers. Writers and artists must be online content creators above all else.

"look the guy who spends all day every day saying things said a cringe thing once! stop listening to him about israel and billionaires!"
there's a huge hasan smear campaign by corpo "democrats" right now, because obviously he's the real danger for some reason and not the cheeto rapist in power.
when people are calling democrats controlled opposition, this is what they mean.
remember hasan's dog? don't think about the entrenched democrats actively enabling the fascist takeover. don't think about their support for funding israel's genocide of gaza. what if his dog possibly potentially had a shock collar because the way it moved once! keep hasan on the defensive so he isn't talking about israel or billionaires!
etc.
i definitely am not the biggest hasan fan, but i find myself defending him regularly from absolute bullshit.
if there's was ever a time to be picky about hasan's choice of emotionally biased statements on non-issues, this is really not it.
when people are calling democrats controlled opposition, this is what they mean.
Well, I kind of mean it as a joke, since they are not even opposition. You have to oppose to be opposition.
Also, sometimes a shock collar is actually necessary. Not all animals respond to positive reinforcement.
While I've never used the shock feature on one (we just have it for the vibration setting for our deaf dog to get her attention), the people I know who have tried literally everything else first, and it only took one or two low level zaps to correct the behavior.
https://youtu.be/GIIQQqnPVuw?t=3m49s He said democrats have to earn your vote, so the harm reduction argument isn't valid. The democrats didn't earn my vote so I didn't vote. Now Trump killed 2 people, started a war, cut all solar programs, ruined our trade negotiations, destroyed the fda, destroyed usaid, destroyed the department of education, pulled out of the climate accord, destroyed research for being "woke," but I mean hey the democrats didn't earn my vote so I was fully justified not voting I think.
I agree with everything you're saying buuuuuuuuuuut also
the dude lives in a mansion in LA (which his excuse for was that he has a large family, someone better tell all the large families in my single-family suburban neighborhood that they should upsize ASAP) and plays down the importance of mutual aid. He's a grifter and the left should be demanding better.
MeansTV is great and less braindead-Twitch-stream-formatted
Yeah this is ridiculous criticism. If he was poor and arguing for socialism he would be called jealous. Now he's rich and arguing for socialism and your criticism is...what exactly? That he takes care of his family? Seems like ad hominem attacks to avoid having to engage with what he's saying.
Taking care of my family by having a multi million dollar mansion fancy clothes a sports car and a Rolex, amen brother. I don't expect someone to live like a pauper but wtf give 2 million to red cross and you've literally saved like 1000 peoples lives.
Same - I feel like I'm going insane reading all this obvious bullshit. It's good to know there's other sane people in this shitpost thread.
I feel he's comparing streaming to white collar jobs, not blue collar jobs. I often refer to my white collar job as my first "real job" because it was the first job I got involving my degree. Prior to that my blue collar jobs where I worked as a "janitor" or in a deli were just part time work to get some spending money.
Ironically, or perhaps not depending on your perspective, having every statement you make over analyzed because your profession is just constantly making statements live can certainly be soul sucking. I think this post is evidence of that. You have to constantly make sure you don't say things that can get clipped in a way that will make you look bad.
Judging by his other statements, I find it hard to believe he's saying that hard manual labor is easy work that isn't soul sucking.
Some streamer should take one for the team and use their platform to educate people on Marx and such. Seriously!
What does the need to create divisive discourse around a popular leftist streamer serve to obscure about how you actually feel about the world?
I respect and appreciate what Hasan does and the impact he has even if I myself am not a fan.
But boy, I do wish he managed to be less annoying while doing it, or that we had a better face for the movement in broad media than him.
Dead Domain is an excellent political commentator on YT, but i doubt they will ever be big like hasan because murica (they are nonbinary).
dead domain is awesome. thankfully we can have multiple commentators.
Sounds like the same type of ignorant, idiotic narcissist who insists on his purity and bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe
The horizon looks equally distant from all directions, so he must conclude that He is at the center of the multiverses! Unilateral stomping of rights, cruel chaos for domestic minorities within and also entire nations abroad, is a price he is willing to pay from a comfy distance, as he fondles his smelly little purity, sniffs his fingers, and exhales in smug self-satisfaction... "you're welcome, people of the world, you're welcome".
LoL I KnOw RiGhT
How dare I say bOtH pArTiEs take great delight in the same unbridled corruption, say, for just one tiny example, insider trading.
lOl sO cRaZy
It gets under your skin bEcAuSe iT's tRuE. They and their entire families become millionaires on a small salary somehow...

Yeah none of that represents Hasan's views but cool rant
I do think the streamer may have a point, but only in a bullshit jobs way. A job that actually improves the world has a sense of satisfaction that a job that's either harmful or pointless lacks, and the latter does some damage to the psyche
That said, he could you know, change careers
Yeah seems kind of whiny since he's super successful and was probably already well-off, but on the other hand...
I'm kind of tired of hearing that my nieces and nephews have no career goals other than to be a "content creator".
Maybe if more people were honest about what it takes and how the social media companies have started to squeeze creators then kids would aspire to get real jobs.

It's completely normal for people to try to survive as artists and creatives until they're enslaved into capitalism.
Was that Hee Hee Ho Ho Ha Ha from the Beatles' I Am the Walrus or from Jurgen Schlachter's The Big Laugh?
Maybe Heath Ledger's Joker walking into the mob meeting? Or the lyrics to They're Coming To Take Me Away?
