and every single one is currently being rolled back in every capitalist nation on earth.

Just completely factually incorrect.

You actually can’t make the argument that neoliberal capitalism has defeated fascism at a

Sure you can, I wouldn’t agree with it, just like I wouldn’t agree that socialism did, but you can make that argument

Life expectancy increase came as a result of medical research conducted around the world

Yeah that’s kind of my point. The things you mention as successes of “”“socialist”“” countries is just scientific advancement and industrialisation.

You’re assuming this is the first time I’ve come across any information about China. Or he’ll even the first time I’ve seen an argument from pro china Tankie. But it’s not, I consider myself a socialist, I’ve read into the histories of china and Russia and a bit on other socialist countries and used to be quite pro china myself, but the more I read, the more information I got about how china actually operates, as I talked to actual people from China, HK and surrounding countries, and as my values matured I realise I can’t support the Chinese state (and that’s it’s not exactly even socialist) because its so authoritarian, corrupt and generally immoral.

Yes the west is shit in so many ways and capitalism is completely unsustainable, but that doesn’t mean I need to support Chinese “socialism” just because it’s not western capitalism.

And I don’t think a random post from a user that’s posting blatant propaganda is going to completely recontexualise everything I know about China and make all their bullshit suddenly ok. So why waste my team reading it?

And to give a more extreme scenario, if you encountered a Nazi who wrote a massive comment about how Nazi Germany was actually great and democratic and treated people well, would you bother to read it? Are you obliged to learn about it?

You still haven’t actually answered the question. You just keep repeating that he doesn’t have to do it if he doesn’t want to. But he does want to and he does do it, he’ll he probably enjoys it on the whole, but why does that mean the job can’t be draining and stressful?

You’ve made a metric fuck tonne of hateboner posts on this thread.

I’m defending streaming in general as a job because I know it can be stressful and draining.

I don’t give a shit about Hassan himself, but he’s right about streaming being soul sucking.

Why would I willingly waste my time on Tankie nonsense?

Okay I’ll give you the tiniest little bite. Your first link is a fucking substsck article from a blatant propaganda pusher that mostly publishes “the west = bad” blog post

So he is trying to claim that China is actually a shining example of democracy, despite being a 1 party state that openly punishes it’s citizens for critisicing the government, the revolution, key reveloutionary figure or communism in general, because of opinion polls that, in a different blog post, he admits are only as high as they are because of China’s censorship of government criticism.

We have actual empirical standards for what a democracy is. China is basically the poster child for modern authoritarianism and does not fit the description of a democratic state in any reasonable way. No opposition is allowed, the party leadership is the one that picks candidates, not the citizens and even then citizens only get this performative vote at the very lowest level of government.

But that’s all I’m going to give you. I’ve fallen into the trap of trying to argue with Tankies who are not arguing from a position of reason, you’re like Magas or Nazis but just intelligent enough to actually cherry pick data and use the language of political theory to attempted to disguise your lunacy.

Reply if you want, call me a shitlib for being pro free and fair elections if you feel like, but I’m not wasting any more of my time on you.

support systems that have brought about immense increases in life expectancy, worker’s rights, women’s rights, free healthcare, free education, and literally defeated fascism

Cool, you can make literally that exact same argument about capitalist neo libs.

Lmao I’m not wasting my time reading a whole Tankies schizo rant about how awesome China is and how it’s authoritarian 1 party system is actually super cool democracy.

Average .ml behaviour

So why does it being voluntary mean the job can’t be soul sucking. I could quit my job and live off benefits for the rest of my life if I wanted to, so can I not complain about my job?

Nah I think you’re just either arguing for the sake of having an argument or you’re one of those people that have a hate boner for the guy.

Okay, firstly I need you to understand I have not watched a single second of a Hassan stream and basically everything I know about him I have learned involuntarily. So your personal attacks about my “parasocial relationship” are entirely unfounded.

But again as I said. Even if he does have enough to retire in luxury why does that mean his job can’t be would destroying? Hassan especially receives an enormous amount of death threats, hate and harassment and streaming in general is very draining.

So where do you think all the Chinese tourists come from?

which is undeniably a significantly smaller number of people

What if I’m actually from China?

1. The person in OP’s picture could retire today and never work again. So clearly it’s not “sucking out his soul” since it’s entirely voluntary.

I mean, debatable, hassas is like early 30s and if we make the big big assumption he has $1m in actual savings, then he would have to live for another 50 years just to make it into his 80s which would come out to about $20k/year not considering investments or inflation or anything. So not realistically enough to retire on.

Even if we assume he can retire to a life of luxury, does it being voluntary mean it can’t be a soul sucking? Like my country has a good benefits program and I’m disabled, so I could live the rest of my life on benefits if I wanted to, does that mean I can’t complain about my job and that it can’t be soul destroying?

The effort of actual streaming is only part of the job and it’s still tough to engage with people and be entertaining for hours and hours every day. Like have you not been in a social situation where you have to put on airs? It’s exhausting.

Because I only date freaky girls?

Americans still don’t understand there are other countries that exist.

Yeah, most of them are actually artists primarily, but getting a stable job in art is quite hard.

???

All my other friends? I’m on a very average wage and can take holidays, I have a friend’s that on like 1k/year over minimum who’s going to Japan later this year.

He’s not saying it’s worse though.

Also being a millionaire is not like filthy rich, its like owning a house in a major city, or having a successful small business.
