Hello, everyone. We would like to make a post addressing the recent influx of posts related to Hasan Piker and Ethan Klein on this subreddit. We have decided that it is best to avoid discussion of these two figures, as to avoid embroiling the subreddit on either side of the current drama between them. We have already been accused of favoring a particular side of this drama, despite our staff team having a largely neutral position on it. In order to avoid inflaming tensions further, or angering certain users who have involved themselves in this drama, please do not discuss either Piker or Klein, the drama between them, or tangential figures relating to this drama (including Destiny, Lonerbox, Noah Sampson, etc). We will not punish for doing so, but any posts discussing these figures will receive a simple removal. We thank you for your understanding.
Please remember to hide subreddit names or reddit usernames (Rule 1), otherwise the post will be removed promptly.
This is an anti-capitalist, left-libertarian subreddit that criticises tankies from a socialist perspective. We are pro-communist.

Damn, this book is like a prophecy.
It's amazing.
Especially the call that the orthodox church would be integral part of the regime

GeorgeOr's Swell Adventure: Animal Tendency?
the hungry hungry caterpillar
Honestly a good choice since it isn't directly relevant to the topic of the sub. I also don't know what people are talking about when they talk about it so there is that too 😅
The drama isn't reliving but piker does seem like a tankiee hiding his power level or at the very least a gate way to tankiee creators

Literally friends with those clowns on The Deprogram. Still, the current drama between him and Klein is tangnetial at best to the subject matter of this sub and I roughly agree with this ban.
See I disagree I have called piker out a few times never mentioned the on going drama because is not relevant to the critique him spouting russian, hamas, houthy, hezbola talking points is relevant.
dude doesn't even support Palestinians because the course of action he advocates for just get more of them dead it's not hard to say while I understand why hamas might want to attack Israel it is a poor use of resources as it squander our sympathy while giving it to the Israel government when targeted attacks on political target and infrastructure/military target.
More critique not mentioned the drama
This is why I prefer Hasan Klein and Ethan Piker. Because, unlike the other two, these guys are drama-free best friends.

Just double checking, any of the people mentioned get Voldemort treatment in any context whether it’s related to this or not?
Correct.
Then I think a clear list of Nono-online personalities would be in order bc I don’t know where the cutoff is? Like I have to assume that frogan is included but is Denims? Is Sam Seder, who afaik has not publicly commented on the whole thing but has been name dropped within it? Does midenchilada still get his dedicated space?
Just some clarity and maybe a timer on the whole thing if you want my two cents
Anyone who has involved themself directly in the drama, which includes Frogan and Denims. That means that Sam Seder is fine to talk about.
Bad Enchilada is an exception in that I think there's no issue discussing him. His tankie opinions overshadow his stuff with Ethan Klein and deserve to be talked about here. I would just say don't talk about him in relation to the drama.
I think Sam Seder has a scheduled "debate" with Ethan sometime soon, so idk if that will result in his ban. I personally do think it's important to raise concerns about Hasan's involvement within Tankie circles, considering he's a major entry point to that pipeline.

Great decision from our benevolent overlords 🙏
Maybe it’s a good testament to the fact that I’m not very online right now but I have no idea what this is referring to. Is there a particular drama happening right now, and is it worth learning about?
afaik hasan is a twitch streamer and he has been very pro-hamas. (he endorses them even when they commit objectively bad things, i get that palestine is suffering from israeli crimes, but hamas is also a very fricking bad organisation to say the least)
he has only not been banned from twitch (the platform he streams on) because he has a very large viewerbase and twitch doesnt want to let go of the money he brings in from viewers.
.
i dont know who the other ethan guy is though.
What about mentions of tangential figures (Destiny, Lonerbox, Noah Sampson, etc) in contexts other than the Hasan/Ethan drama?
It depends on how close to the drama they are. The ones we listed should probably not be discussed. Other figures such as Bad Empanada can still be discussed in other contexts.

They're both dumb, but Klein is dumber.
How?
I think that Zionism is dumber than socialism that sometimes encroaching on American diabolism.
Also Hasan's not just a socialist man's a tankie
he believes that Israel should exist? Or you think he's a Israel war defender

To this day I still wonder how ether of them are still widely respected by people
Podcasts and streamers are bad for the left. Get out of those cults.
Even Robert evans famed cult leader of cool zone media?
Worth noting that, cult jokes aside, he insistently stands against personality worshipping, especially his own
Oh yeah fs
Sometimes I wonder how well that works with his fans, but I am glad that he does it towards his own person.
Rich "Dick The Birthday Boy" Evans?
Podcasts and streams are ultimately just a medium of information same as any other, it’s the cults of personality that are a problem
Sure but I think as a medium currently, this social media infotainment style favors personality cults and reductive thinking and sensationalism.
Initiate order 66 but for streamers.
Literarily 1894
Is Idubbz a no go aswell ?
Yes. He is currently embroiled in the drama, so please do not discuss him.
