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.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I don't even like Hasan, it's annoying how much "moderates" have forced me to be on his side lately.
I love Hasan. I wish more privileged voices were as concise and consistent and forceful on left issues like he is. If there were several dozen more people like him we wouldn't all have to couch our support for their advocacy with a milquetoast disclaimer about how we "don't even like them".
Hell, I'm a vegan and an anarchist. He regularly throws those aspects of my identity under the bus to offer a fig leaf to the unconvinced in his audience so that they listen to more central leftist ideas, and still I love him for that. He has millions of followers, I cannot fathom how impactful he has been to leftist advocacy all over the world in the past 5 years. I'm so fucking sick of people putting disclaimers on their support for him. I don't even sub to him and I love the guy. I know what critical support means and I give him my critical support on full blast.
Don't get me wrong, he seems like a good guy, but react streamers are objectively the lowest form of entertainer.
Putting someone else's content up on stream then walking off while your audience watches it is pretty... off putting.
About half of his content is interviews with activists / politicians and live-on-the-ground protest coverage. His "react" coverage is mostly training his audience to digest mainstream newsmedia through a leftist lens rather than dramaslop-type takes.

The people that need to actively attack Hasan in this day and age are almost categorically active supporters of this current status quo.
They're not even just opponents of the left anymore. They're just present to wreck any civil spaces to cause infighting.
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...

Everyone pointing fingers at the name Young Turks had better not be a fan of Blondie or Joy Division.
Just like Tyler the creator... Hasan and cenk must be a couple years away from a seminal album
