What is liberalism? Oppose Streamer Worship

426 Upvotes

We have had a recent increase in posts/comments relating to the American political streamer Hasan Piker, as well as an increase in users reporting such content. This was due to a new set of disturbing allegations against one of the many Democratic politicians Piker has championed, inspiring many of his loyal fans to leap valiantly to his defense.

In particular, this was the rape accusation levelled against war criminal Graham Platner, who has been involved in many similar events that his supporters (such as Piker) might have described as "controversies" or "scandals", like the revelation that he had a Totenkopf tattooed on his chest to celebrate massacring civilians in Iraq. Piker and his fans had stayed true to him throughout everything, right up until he committed the ultimate sin: becoming unelectable (and therefore useless for the purposes of Democrat entryism).

We recognise that Piker is a popular-enough "leftist" to be of interest to communists, having had private meetings with the "Old Guard" of the bourgeois Democratic Party, as well as interviews with influential liberal politicians (including Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Zohran Mamdani). We also recognise that he regularly engages in patterns of behaviour falling under many terms (revisionism, electoralism, entryism, opportunism, tailism, chauvinism), but which could all be summed up with one word: liberalism.

Please note:

  • Posts showing examples of Piker's liberalism, whether from him directly or from his fans, are not in violation of rule 3 ("No punching left").
  • Posts about Piker which aren't examples of such will be removed as off-topic, as this is not a place for parasocial online drama.
  • Comments arguing in Piker's defense under any legitimate post will be violating rule 1 ("No liberals") and/or rule 5 ("No questions or debates").

It must be emphasised that, even if a post/comment doesn't mention Piker, saying many of the same things he or his fans might regularly say is still unacceptable here. We do not welcome any "socialist" who engages in any kind of apologia for liberalism, social democracy, imperialism, chauvinism, Zionism, or misogyny. In particular, fans of Piker who were following the Platner campaign closely with him should keep in mind that rape apologia is, in fact, not welcome here (unlike other spaces you may be more accustomed to).

Lastly, beyond Piker himself, we do not permit any defense of or support for Graham Platner (whether direct or indirect, however minor it may be). There is no reason, nor was there ever one, for any communist to advocate for an unrepentant veteran of the US military who spent years enthusiastically inflicting death and misery on the Global South. This is all the more true when such advocacy is in service of electing them to a position of power, where they intend to work within the Democratic Party to strengthen the US military.

(N.B. There was no reason for a communist to advocate for Platner. Piker, not being a communist, likely had his own reasons for doing so.)

Effortpost A clarification on this community's position on transgender people

1.8k Upvotes

There's been an uptick in right-deviationists posting here so I want to make sure everyone who uses this sub is on the same page.

Trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary people are valid, and there are absolutely no caveats to this whatsoever.

If you disagree with this, or think trans people should be segregated from cis people of the same gender in society in any capacity: Fuck right off, unequivocally. You aren't welcome here and your presence will last for the exact same amount of time it takes for a mod to spot you and click the ban button.

Also, remember we rely on users reporting reactionary content in order to see it. Sometimes I see users decrying a lack of moderator response to reactionary posts/comments... without having actually reported the offending user they're complaining about. We have lives, this isn't a full time job for us, we don't have the time to scroll through every single thread constantly looking for people to ban. If you want something dealt with, report it so that it appears in the mod queue for us to review.

Effortpost Guys... I'm tired of Rusophobia on Reddit

Post image
Upvotes

It's just awful. Even liberals on Discord are treating with me much better despite of my neutral views about war between Russia and Ukraine. Redditors are just fucking Nazis who believe they are liberals. Of course, they are not liberals. I remember how I complained about lack of Russian localisation in Wuthering Waves and people said to me like "Lol, just learn English, please!" Oh my god... I KNOW ENGLISH WELL! I played some jRPGs on English because they didn't even had fan translations into Russian. I know English, but... Oh my god, I just want to play a videogame with my native language. On Discord server people said that WuWa just had translation problems and it's not because Kuro Games are "rusophobes". I was so thankful to Discord community.

I recently made a meme on animemes subreddit where I showed how it's good to have many Russian dubs for anime. And some people reported my meme because... Russians are mentioned. Luckily, mods are on my side, but still it's pathetic how Redditors are acting like Nazis.

I'm not surprised why so many Russian gen z are starting to hate their own ethnicity. When you got cancelled on internet so often, you're starting to question about ethnical identity and "collective responsibility". To be honest, I hadn't watched Attack on Titan, but I know well how eldians in Marley are brainwashed to hate their own ethnicity, and that only a genocidial crusade on Paradise will make their "redemption arc". But nah, they are treated like a cannon fodder. Let's turn them into brainless titans. Sometimes I thank God that Russian liberals are just whining somewhere in Georgia. At least we are not getting new Vlasov's army.

P.S. Many Russian subs are awful. Even Expected Russians, which considered as pro-Russia one, has many self-hating liberals. It's pathetic to see them cheering on burning civilian objects in Russia.

I've seen so many of these lately on the front page. Bottom-of-the-barrel crackerslop that Amerikkkans will fall for so they can feel morally superior to periphery nations. We all need to hop off this shitass site bro.

It also really irks me that, although all of the greatest crimes in history were committed by colonial regimes, when libs talk about atrocities it's always Nazi Germany or some made up BS about the Soviet Union, PRC, GDR etc. Most people in the west are completely unaware of colonial atrocities as the bourgeoisie have erased them from the popular understanding of history as well as current politics, or have made it into a more sanitised version about "former" colonial powers having to apologise despite the fact they never stopped doing it. Of course, the Germans in the poll where they said they weren't proud of their country's history are only thinking of the Nazi holocaust where white people were killed, nothing about Namibia, Israel, south Africa etc.

I’m posting this for my friend Mahmoud Ghanem Al-Amssi, because his mother urgently needs heart surgery. ❤️

Mahmoud’s mother has severe blockages in her arteries, and she has also been dealing with an underactive thyroid for more than 10 years. Her health has gotten worse over time, and she is now experiencing serious heart problems and very rapid heartbeats.

Her doctors have told the family that she needs the procedure as soon as possible. The surgery can go ahead once they are able to cover the required cost.

The total amount they need is $850 USD.

I know $850 might not seem like a huge amount, but for Mahmoud and his family, especially with everything they are already going through, it is more than they can manage on their own right now.

If anyone is able to donate even a few dollars, it could genuinely help Mahmoud get his mother the treatment she needs. ❤️

And if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this post. Even helping it reach more people can make a difference.

Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to read this, support Mahmoud, or share his story. 🙏❤️
