Welp, this has been a truly awful reminder of why I dont have faith in my common man.
Thanks for the morbid entertainment all. I'm signing off the dog until after my bjj comp tomorrow. Wish me luck. Or dont.
Hasan Piker:
I can't stand any of you dumbfucks in the in this goddamn chat. Oh my fucking god, I hate the left. I hate liberalism. I hate everything that's going on, every single day of the goddamn week. I hate my life. I hate streaming. I hate socialism. I hate every single person who thinks that the peak of activism is to be the most annoying holier-than-thou ...
I am almost in agreement with Hasan Piker, but I think of my hatred for other people as a personal failing. I think that the left/socialism/communism is inferior to the right/fascism in that communism is atheist, and religion gives a chance at learning a good morality. My morality is informed by the stories of the stoners and the prostitute (Post #542) and the tax collector asking for mercy while the Pharisee prayed about how good he was (Post #579).
This is you from your post #570: Never in my life have I said anything nearly as awful as they have.
I think this is a holier-than-thou Pharisee-like statement by you, but I don't hate you for it, and I have faith in you, or else I would not debate with you. It could be that my own ideas will also be improved by this debate.
When I stated in Post #573, "Maybe you will never be cancelled for the time that you used to be a dick, maybe." I hadn't yet watched Hasan's video. Hasan Piker is blaming the left for his unhappiness because he sees his leftist subscribers as the more proficient cancel culture warriors. In Post #494, I tried to engage GearMetalSolid that the most disturbing part of the cancelling of the Young Republicans, is that the leaker, Gavin Wax, is himself a Republican. Republicans must choose if they wish to become as proficient cancel culture warriors as leftists or if they want to denounce cancel culture, even amongst their own.
The thing with Hasan Piker, I don't think the worst thing about him is using the shock collar. A shock collar is a legal tool for dog training, and people can argue if there are better methods. My parents used corporal punishment against me as a child, and while I do not use it against my own children, I don't begrudge my parents. The problem with Hasan Piker is that he lied. He called it absurd that he reached for a shock controller, as absurd as reaching for a trap door control. But later, the shock collar controller was shown to be located at the exact spot where he reached. I think that Gavin Wax will come to a similar end with his denials of being the leaker. The thing is, I think Piker can be forgiven for shocking his dog, just as my parents can be forgiven for hitting me. The Young Republicans admit their chat posts were in poor taste, but some do not want to forgive them.
I want to forgive the Young Republicans. I even want to forgive Hasan Piker because I know that I am as bad (or worse) than him or a Young Republican or a tax collector or a prostitute. I want to take a stand against those who will not forgive. When the hands are raised with the stones, I want those hands to be defeated by the words of Ye's songs. Perhaps the words, "I am Spartacus." could be occasionally substituted for Ye's lyrics to convey my intended meaning for the words.
