  • Since Bernie Sanders' failed attempt to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee, there has been reinvigoration on the left in the USA. This has also been seen in the media, nowhere more so than with the rise of Hasan Piker - arguable the most influential political voice on Twitch.
    Aaron caught up with Hasan to talk about despising Nancy Pelosi, the difference between personal and private property and how much he benches.

    The liberty of a democracy is not safe if people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.

      Corporations are often called business empires, never business democracies.

    I'm a lefty and also a big gamer. It's true - misogyny, racism, transphobia, MAGA etc, are by far the prominent under current amongst gamers. Whilst many are apolitical, it is the right that is clearly more visible. We need more gamers like Hasan.

    • @ordohereticus3427
      @ordohereticus3427 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They appeal to and lure in low-information, apolitical types, and then manipulate them into reactionary politics.
      The biggest issue with gamers is that they are far too disengaged from this stuff, so, when their hobby is critiqued, they become prime candidates for some reactionary indoctrination because they have no one reasonably engaging their concerns while also providing them with critical things to think about within their sub-culture. There’s a reason why many of them think games like Final Fantasy VII and Deus Ex are right wing or by right wing creators when such thinking could not be any further from the truth.

    Excellent interview, love these deeper downstream dives! Bit of friendly technical advice - check the light/in-camera exposure levels on the talent. Skin tones are frequently overexposed in your videos, and bringing them down to standard levels (varies based on the skin tone of the person) will help elevate the look of your content. For example, in the shot of Aaron, his skin is around 90 IRE, when it should be around 60-70 IRE.
    It's something that the vast majority of your audience wouldn't notice and don't care about, but just wanted to mention and hopefully it helps! Also, bonus tip - look at motivated lighting. I'm London-based and would be happy to help (for free of course) with setup/lighting etc if you need!

    great interview i am in the older demigraphic and follow hassan to some degree, as do i follow you guys, and he is a great person to team up with along with the majority report rather than TYT, he has done a great deal for the left perspective on the gen Z's, you should be a guest on his show, talk about the class consciousness issues we all share and how the different ways we are divided under the false left of neo-liberalism after thatcher/reagan.
    I think one of the things that was talked about is the the problem of utilitarian nature of materialism which he was talking about and maybe thought there was some confusion on, the ability to spend money on what you want within that grey area i think that you both agree on, is the utilitarian nature of ownership over what he clearly defined as capital exploitation we on the left despise rightfully.

      ​@@titansquirrel4408 One of Bernie's primary appealing factors was precisely that he wouldn't engage in hyper-capitalist tendencies like driving a Porsche. Critics/opponents have always attempted to critique Bernie's lifestyle for hypocrisy and its always fallen flat because he is incredibly consistent in how he acts vs. what he believes in terms of policy. Really it's just the question of the optics surrounding how you advocate for a cause, and whether your advocacy draws more people in than it detracts.

    My impression is that you may not comprehend exactly just how bad it actually is in the US. As an American my impression is that in GB it is just as bad, but you have NHS, though it's been cut a lot, you have mass transit, though those who run it think it should make money because the conservatives have contracted it out to the private sector, and that you have stronger unions, but your media is more laissez faire and supply side loving than even here and they say anything and everything to paint them as money grubbing. But I'd still rather live there.

    • @scapingby
      @scapingby ปีที่แล้ว +3

      1. NHS hasn't been cut, spending has increased year on year - You could argue it's not enough but regardless of what you give it, someone, somewhere will ask for more.
      2. It has been contracted to the private sector, but that's OK so long as it remains free at the point of use. McMillan Cancer support is a private charity for example... they're a good thing sensible people would agree.
      3. The only strong union we have is the rail unions, particularly RMT. it's leader, Mick Lynch has become a leftist hero in recent months. Although, he encouraged RMT to vote for Brexit, and he continues to support it.

Yes, more physical money is going in but costs have gone up across the board and in real terms, funding has decreased. Also our population is aging rapidly and demands from this cohort have increased. I also object that it's 'OK' that parts have gone to private sector. As you know from US, that means money is being taken out and often things like wages and services get worse as a result of less money being spent within the NHS.

Instead of being services for the common good, in which areas which run at a loss are subsidized by those that run at a profit, revenue-producing becomes the sole objective.
