"if he doesn't say exactly this then he's against us" rant.
I never said this was a binary choice, or that he was against Palestinians, just that this it is cowardly to not mention the genocide where a historic amount of journalists are being killed.
What you're asking is unrealistic.
Why precisely is it unrealistic?
Well he found the time to make prouncements about the importance of journalism and protecting journalism, so why not speaking directly to the genocide where the shocking majority of journalists have been killed for the last 3 years at an unprecedented rate and with incredible, naked murderous aims to specifically assassinate journalists?
Your argument is about priorities and amount of time to devote to them, but it doesn't even make sense as an argument since the pope ALREADY decided to devote time towards emphasizing how important protecting journalism and a free press is, so fundamentally my argument is one of the way he chose to do the thing, not that he should have done one thing before doing another thing.
The International Federation of Journalists records that 94 journalists and media workers, including 9 women, have been killed in 2023. Since 7 October, more than one journalist a day has lost their lives during the war in Gaza, a scale and pace of loss of media professionals’ lives without precedent. Publishing ahead of International Human Rights Day, on the 10th December, the IFJ insists that far greater action is required from the international community to safeguard journalists’ lives and hold to account their attackers.

According to the annual report of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), 2024 was another particularly deadly year for journalists and media professionals. As of 10 December 2024, 104 journalists had been killed worldwide, more than half of them in Gaza, Palestine (55). The IFJ reaffirms its determination to see an International Convention for the Protection of Journalists adopted by the United Nations as a matter of urgency.
That is why Pope Leo XIV would speak directly speak about the Palestinian Genocide if he truly cared about journalism and the protection of it and the people who practice it.
Hey, I have a roaring dumpsterfire of money over here, would you like to invest in this one too?
It's a weird space. I used to think we were on the verge of entering a whole new era of technology but now I think it's going to be muted. Perhaps AI (as we know it now) eased some tasks and eliminated some BS stuff that used to waste our time, but we've not yet completely eliminated most professional jobs - if anything I think we just added more for them to learn and do to remain competitive.
How could anyone have predicted this outcome!?
Here is a simple question, if Hasan did say the U.S. "deserved" 9/11 like the fear mongers in this thread are trying to twist his words into and he meant it the way y'all claim he did, wouldn't he still be calling for more terrorism against the U.S.?
If Hasan isn't actively calling for terrorism... what made him stop? Does he think the score was settled and it is back to U.S.-50 points vs Radical Islam -50 points on the scoreboard?
No, Hasan is clearly making a point about how blowback from brutal imperial practices becomes nearly inveitable after a certain point, the use of "deserve" he is to denote how in a system where people act as political representatives of groups and derive power from publicly representing them, the more one group commits violence against another group the more likely the group of victims are to retaliate with force.
To make the logical jump that this must mean that Hasan wants more 9/11s to happen to the U.S. where random U.S. citizens are indiscriminately killed as a symbol for something they do not control is disengenous to the extreme, and I have said elsewhere in this thread, a step in an extremely dangerous direction for the health and free speech of our society.
You are vaguely referencing a bunch of stuff and simultaneously being angry I am not being specific enough.
Be specific, what are you claiming Hasan has done illegally or wrongly? You claim he "supports" a "terrorist" organization but the onus is on you to prove in exhaustive and specific terms why I should believe you when you say the words "support" and '"terrorist" that you aren't just moving empty hot air and hate around with your mouth.
I saw the full unedited Ethan and Hasan debate, and Hasan's context and excuses just made me disgusted.
Nobody is surprised by this, your behavior makes it crystal clear this is the kind of position you would have.
Also, you don't have to watch Hasan Piker for long to see that this characterization of him is totally absurd, I don't know whether it is more embarassing that people actually believe Hasan Piker is like this or that they are willing to lie so boldfacedly about it.
Hasan doesn't advocate for violence like this, I am sure he has said some spicey shit but trying to frame his as a terrorist is a dangerous road to walk and these people are doing it gleefully.
That is nonsense, cite your sources
Here are my sources, Sam Seder dismantling Ethan Klein while Hasan gives context to all the lazy slander y'all are leveling at him.
I agree but I don't think it has much to do with the tool itself beyond it being a superb culpability obscuring tool, what we are witnessing is essentially a birth of a religion just a super lame one.
A status quo where people are not allowed to break in rhetoric or ideology as quality of life plummets will create a rising potential for the introduction of a concept that nullifies or simply exists outside the framework of that status quo worldview that is strangling people but they do not believe they can escape.
For people who are obsessed with AI, the unreality of it is precisely what lets AI function as an ideological lifeboat that doesn't require grappling with the immense issues with our worldviews and assumptions as a society because AI can be added to contexts as a Deus Ex Machina that disguises and explains away incrongruities between our broken world views and the desperate reality caused by them.
