My money is on Hasan + co getting permabanned by the end of the year. It seems like the liberal-nazi Reddit troll farms will actually have the power to bully people off of Twitch as long as advertisers aren’t willing to advertise on media that opposes the state of Israel. Some of them will probably do fine on platforms like YouTube, but the Palestine version of the red scare, is alive and well.
Sidebar there definitely needs to be a term coined for the anti-Palestinian witch hunts that have been going on, I’ve seen “the new McCarthyism”, but that doesn’t really do it justice, and the green scare is already taken describing the US crackdown on environmental protestors in the 2000s. Maybe the “Palestine Panic”, that’s the best I’ve got.
His banning is inevitable. The only thing saving him now is he is Twitch’s cash cow, but they’ll kill the cash cow and all geese laying golden eggs for the sake of crushing any whiff of anti-Zionism.
Instead of trying to compare him to heads of state like some cringey stan, the real thing people should work towards is building a new platform for him to stream under. Imagine if he’s able to stream on Peertube. Since Peertube is not under corporate control, him streaming there means he’s safe from Zionist censorship and it platforms Peertube as an open-source alternative to Twitch and Youtube. Or maybe he could just stream directly from his personal website. Whatever path he takes, he needs to start doing the prep work now and depending on what he does, he might need to hire people with the technical expertise to pull it off, which requires money.
I think it’s more similar to the red scare in the way that people are trying to get people fired/deplatformed that hasn’t really happened since except maybe post 9/11. Although it is for sure genocide denialism.
I agree but I’d say that another similar time was the lead up to the Iraq war, through the early part of the insurgency where people still thought we could win.
Like everyone was so bloodthirsty and brutal to anyone who objected.
Then we started getting our asses kicked and everyone turned on a dime and pretended they were against the Iraq war from the start.
