    The west has stopped quietly committing genocide against the wishes of it’s people, started forcibly and loudly committing genocide against the desperate cries of it’s people.

      And Cenk still won’t change the name of his media organization from the perpetrators of the Armenian genocide he spent most of his life denying…

      Even know, he just admits the Aremenian genocide could be considered a genocide. But refusing to change the name of his company.

      I don’t know how or why genocide deniers are ever considered “the good guys”.

      Loads of conflicts is two groups of assholes fighting.

      But there are podcasters out there who don’t support any genocide too…

    I don’t even like Hasan, it’s annoying how much “moderates” have forced me to be on his side lately.

    When I told my husband some Labour politician is calling for this he said it’s not going to be taken seriously. He was surprised and dissapointed to find out the country that says it’s terrorism to hold a sign also bans even ultra-centrist Cenk Ughyr for not being a zionist.

    I sometimes watch TYT with Cenk and I have no clue why the UK decided to ban him over that.

    What a bunch of chocolate starfishes…

    Hassan and Cenk do paid agitprop for the UK’s adversaries. Why should any country let them come over and tour around the country undermining the government and bolstering conspiracy and driving extremists on both sides. Bet there here to do their favourite thing, undermine a liberal left government so the far right can win.

      they’re* When you make dumb mistakes on something so easy it makes you look like you’re not well read. If your inane take wasn’t enough, that definitely gives it away.

      The UK is not under a liberal left government, and if you think Labor is even close to not being far right you’re actually deluded.

        “Labour is far right”, you heard it here first folks.

        Sure, they’re not left enough by any definition, but far right and not even close to not being far right?

    It’s still weird everyone ignores Cenk named his organization after the perpetrators of the Armenian genocide…

    Armenian Genocide, campaign of deportation and mass killing conducted against the Armenian subjects of the Ottoman Empire by the Young Turk government during World War I (1914–18). Armenians charge that the campaign was a deliberate attempt to destroy the Armenian people and, thus, an act of genocide. The Turkish government has resisted calls to recognize it as such, contending that, although atrocities took place, there was no official policy of extermination implemented against the Armenian people as a group.

    Or that the only reason Hasan has a platform is he’s a nepo nephew…

      Hasan’s platform is Twitch and he’s largely built up his following by doing the same influencer circuit as everyone else.

      If he’s got any aces up his sleeve, they’re that he’s gorgeous, he’s quick witted, and he got in on the ground floor when DSA was blowing up

        I don’t think this is correct, both Hasan and Asmongold are a part of Night Media and I’ve seen no attempt by Hasan to leave. Hasan is also weirdly kiddy-gloved when talking about Asmongold, at least it was like this in the past.

        Granted, Night Media employs a lot of people — I just don’t believe Hasan got to where he is by simply hitting the influencer lottery.
