Honestly I can't be upset with this. How does an idiot who complains about wokeness every single day suddenly get the urge to stand up for gay rights in Palestine. Granstanding hypocrite.

Am I crazy or is Asmon's argument literally "We should be allowed to bomb people not as socially progressive as us." While being Mr. "Stop forcing social progressiveness on us, that's woke!"

As someone who used to watch a lot of asmongold and used to go into his chat, i can tell u 90% of his chat understood nothing hasan said

The Asmonmold debate was essentially western core liberals being unable to tell the forest from the trees in a nutshell.

everything i have ever heard or learned about Asmongold has been against my will

The "inferior culture" take coming from the guy who never showers, plays video games all day, used a dead rat as an alarm clock, and lives in absolute squalor is probably one of the funniest and most ironic things to ever happen

Honestly, after seeing the debate posted yesterday this is incredibly reassuring. I’m glad that people are actually recognizing how horrific his statements were. His only sticking point was “yeah, but you agree they’re inferior right?” Like if people are dying and the only thing you can think about is how they’re “less developed” and more “primitive” than you, then you’ve definitely got a few screws loose.

When I was watching the conversation between Hasan and Asmon, I did have a strong thought that Has was being so gentle with Asmon, but then I realized the he was doing that more for Asmond's audience's benefit, who seem to need someone who presents an opinion different from their own to be packaged in a very diplomatic way, or else they won't be receptive and immediately stop engaging with what Has is trying to say. It still sucks that people who are entrenched in the propaganda they consume need so much coddling in this day and age in order to merely humanize Arabs and Muslims, though...

"If I'm talking about black issues with someone who's anti-black, that's not for black people." "You're already black, you already know what being a black person in America looks like." this fuckin' hits...

Erosion is a slow process with incredibly apparent impact.

When we attempt to correct behavior, the ones being checked tend to respond more favorably when it ISN'T SOMEONE THEY'RE ALREADY OPPOSED TO ADMONISHING THEM (this isn't to say you shouldn't, of course check shitty behavior). Erosion of that learned behavior comes layers at a time, not all at once.

Is it shitty that racism and xenophobia work like this? Yes, fuck yes it is. But that's the sad reality of the situation. Forward progress is always positive, no matter how small.

The way you communicated did change my views and I did learn. Unlike most of these top comments that just want start fights.

[the_Googie]

i teared up when you read tips long statement. Man, im not even american. But i cant imagine what it must have been like living as a muslim in the US post 911...

[gracehetfield]

I'm pleasantly shocked you can get banned for anti-palestinian comments.

[Bella-zprn]

It’s crazy a few years ago I used to watch Asmond. So thankful I got out of there and didn’t get stuck in that disgusting way of thinking.

Hearing Hasan and F.D Signifier are friends warms my heart fr

[TankNinjaMage]

100% Deserved. His absurdity in contradicting himself during the debate only to double down at the end, claiming his mind didn't change, pure narcissism.

[lzohzzy]

They act as if saying "your culture is inferior to mine" is not exactly like racism

[npviking]

Did i listen to this recap and realization live? Yes. Did i watch 10 videos about it from the hasanabi clips industrial complex? Yes. Did i click on this seconds after it showed up on my feed? Also yes

[wilsonrandolph]

Time again I am surprised that so many people find it so hard to see Muslims as human beings with a variety of opinions... kinda like... you and I...

[undead_corsair]

My biggest concern is the size of audience Asmongold has and how irresponsible it is for him to use that kind of language in front of that audience. He was normalising the dehumanisation of Palestinians and that deserves thorough condemnation.

One afternoon, an IDF soldier was vacationing on stolen land in the West Bank. To pass the time, he and his wife would join other apartheid settlers in attacking aid trucks on their way to The Gaza Strip so that the people there would starve. As they were driving back from one of these assaults, the off-duty soldier spotted a Palestinian flag stuck in the ground on the side of the road. The determined soldier immediately pulled the car over, marched with purpose up to the flag, and gave it a solid kick, unaware that it was rigged with explosives. His wife looked on as her unfortunate husband disappeared into a cloud of dirt and pink mist.
Miraculously, the man survived. While resting in a hospital bed and nursing his wounds, his wife came to visit what was left of him. "My brave soldier!" she cried, "Why did you have to kick that flag? You weren't deployed here.."
"I remembered my training, " said the soldier, "That's why I engaged with the didn't think it could shoot back."
