Starting point is 00:00:00 If this guy was an American citizen, I would completely support his right to do this. But he's not. You don't know anything. No, it does not. What are you talking about? I don't really know exactly how the law works. This is my purview. Then why do you spend 48 hours worth of content saying, oh my God?
Starting point is 00:00:17 And I certainly don't know all of the confines of, like, I don't know everything about the fucking immigration law either. Having said that. Then why do you spend 48 fucking hours worth? the content is saying. Anyway, he's spent way more than 48, by the way. No, it does not. That's the, you can, in the United States of America,
Starting point is 00:00:40 you can literally fucking say you love Al-Qaeda, you love the KKK, you love Nazis, the government can't fucking deport you over. Yes, that's true. If you're a citizen, Hassan would be right. What are you talking about? Yes. It is also constitutionally protected.
Starting point is 00:00:56 He's saying, no. Context. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, any non-citizen, including a green card holder, is subject to deportation. If they engage in terrorist activities, these activities include material support like any form of facilitation of the terrorist organization. In the case of Mahmoud Khalil, Hassan is muddying the waters trying to reframe this individual as just being pro-Palestine. Here are the facts.
Starting point is 00:01:19 So this is the guy. This is the guy that has been detained. As a leader of the CUAD, which was formed after SLP and JVP, were suspended for pro-terror activity. The CUAD, Columbia University apartheid divest, was responsible for this reenactment of Helms deep last year. And so, Khalil openly defends Hamas in a CUAD video on March 2025. We tried armed resistance. But again, Israel is terrorism. It is terrorism.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Yes, they're calling it terrorism because you're killing innocent people. CUAD's anti-American stance is clear. Members vowed to weaken U.S. imperialism on March 9th, 2000. 2025, the NY Post exposed their goal. This is unbelievable. Eradication of Western civilization. CUAD organized a pro-terror event in March 24th called Palestinian Resistance 101. Speaking at the event was Khalid Barakat, a senior member of the PFLP, a designated
Starting point is 00:02:27 terror group. So they organized an event and one of the speakers was part of a member of a terrorist group. What is this? Let's just go ahead and get down to it, right? If this guy is associated with this group and this group has done anything to whitewash Hamas or to promote Hamas, without a shadow of a doubt, they have a complete justification to deport them. But these are, in fact, what the rules are. This is, it is a literal fact that a green card holder can be removed for being part of a group that expresses, expresses support for a terrorist group. It's literally outlined.
Starting point is 00:03:05 And this specific case, like, it is. literally written down. I won't talk to you because you're intentionally being to sign. Defined support. I would say passing out flyers and then inviting a person from a terrorist organization to speak at your event is supporting. In my opinion, I think that's support. That is also, that's coward.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Yeah, stops supporting terrorists. You would assume, you would think that not supporting terrorists is easy to do, but you'd really be surprised. This. Let me go back. Institutionally protected. He's saying you won't talk to you because you're intentionally being dishonest. That is also, that's coward.
Starting point is 00:03:38 So if I go and I look at the tweet that Hassan made about me, and this is why I don't engage with this, it's because it's completely misrepresenting. Absolutely 100% misrepresentation. When somebody opens up a conversation on the premise of me thinks it's a violation of free speech when devs make video game boops smaller, but when the DHS openly kidnaps a green card holder for being pro-Palestine, so let's go ahead and bring. break this down line by line. Asmigold thinks it's a violation of free speech when video game devs make video game boob smaller. I wish it was, but unfortunately it's not. This is an obvious appeal. This is an ad absurdum. We're going to escalate what you're thinking. You are a crazy, unreasonable, stupid person for believing this. And I'm going to caricature you as something that you're not in order to make you look stupid. So you introduce me as this person. But then when the DHS openly kidnaps a green card holder for being pro-Palestine. He's not getting deported for being
Starting point is 00:04:42 pro-Palestine. He's getting deported. And I don't know, maybe he's not going to get deported, right? There's a chance that he's not going to get deported. But let's say he does. It will be because it will not be because he's pro-Palestine. It will be because he is part of a group that has expressed positivity towards being pro-hamas. And this is the problem is that Hassan keeps making this comparison. He keeps going and saying that being pro-Hamash, is pro-Palestine. This is a terrible way of looking at it. And Hamas is a terrorist organization. And you do a massive disservice to Palestinians when you just use them interchangeably. Because this is not the same thing. And it damages their entire cause. It makes all of them look like they're these bad people. And he's doing this.
Starting point is 00:05:26 And I think he's own going for something that he's so fucking supportive of. He thinks it's awesome and not a violation of the First Amendment. It's not that I think that. It's that that's what the law is. That's what the law. classic free speech defender stuff here. So again, I am a free speech defender, but I have never said that I am a free speech absolutist. I've never said this before. I've openly stated in many cases that there are tons of things that I think there should be limitations on free speech about. So when I see somebody who is in every single line of their statements about me, mischaracterizing intentionally, caricaturing and misrepresenting what I'm saying, no, I'm not going to have a conversation about this because you're beginning on a foundation that doesn't exist. This does not
Starting point is 00:06:11 exist. Everything about this is false. So by engaging with this, all you do is enable it. No, it's not going to happen. Let's see here. We're going to go through the rest of this. So this is what he said originally. It's not good faith at all. It's not even remotely good faith. It's like 180 degrees in the other direction. I think that Hassan, and I don't want to make it very personal, But I do worry that Hassan, like if I look at this clip, right? Where is the, where is like fan comes up to? There, here we go. Oh, this is, this is me reacting to it.
Starting point is 00:06:41 I saw this video yesterday. That was a while ago. I'm sorry, I forgot to say, you need to stop drinking Code Zero on stream. Why? Is it? You're preaching pro-Palestine and you're drinking all these boycotts up, please, Hassan. At least for 10, go out of stream.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Okay, I'll put in a glass. Is Pepsi okay? No, so does. I didn't know. I didn't know it was like that. I'm trying to stop with these in that. Shutting down. So you have a person who is, in my opinion, to a degree, audience capture.
Starting point is 00:07:16 These people got mad at him for drinking Coca-Cola, okay? Like, if you look at, for example, my video is about Donald Trump. And if you look at Asmon Gold, Ukraine, Trump, this has 2,000 downvotes. The reason why is because I expressed a lot of. lot of frustration with what Trump was doing, and I disagreed with him. And so I have no problem going against my audience in a lot of cases. And in fact, some my viewers get frustrated because I do it to a fault. The fact is that I think he needs to be more honest about this. And I think that him playing defense for it, all it's doing is it's radicalizing people against his cause. And I think that he does
Starting point is 00:07:53 have, and again, I think Hassan does have fundamentally with the Palestinians a noble cause. But when you make the people that are these these people that have had their life fucking destroyed when you make being pro them being pro terrorist group what you do is you you make them look bad and you alienate average people against them but we'll keep going we'll watch the rest of it with evidence okay the contrary asmigold immediately said uh if it's true then i guess he's uh right and i'm wrong and i wish you could do the same i wish he could say if it's true that a green card holder can be deported for having connections to groups that have shown positivity towards terrorism, then he's absolutely justified to be deported.
Starting point is 00:08:37 That's all I'm asking. That's all I'm asking. And you can disagree with this, right? Like, ideologically, but to say that that's not the case is completely ridiculous. It is stated that way. Do you think that Palestinians are Hamas supporters? I think a lot of them are, but I think that a lot of them also aren't. And I think that a lot of the people that are Hamas supporters are the devil you know supporters.
Starting point is 00:08:57 These are people who support Hamas because while, they might not like Hamas, they want Hamas to stop the people that have been bombing them. And I think that it's understandable that many Palestinians would support Hamas. I'm not justifying it, but I'm saying it's understandable. So I don't hold it against the Palestinians. And even if you say it's 80%, that means one in five people doesn't deserve to be fucking categorized as a terrorist supporter. That's why I apologize for it. I think it's wrong.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I think using a generalization like that to dehumanize those people and characterize. caricature their viewpoints is unfair to them. It's unfair to their cause. And it's dishonest. So no, I'm not going, I'm not going to do that. And even if it is 80%, that's still not enough for me to say that they're all collectively guilty. That's outrageous. It's more complicated than that. And anybody who's honest knows that. Right. And if that's the way that the law works, I mean, I don't really know exactly how the law works. This is my purpose. Then why do you spend 48 fucking hours worth of content is saying for it? Oh, my. Like, the fact is that neither of us know what fuck we're talking about. Neither of us are a lawyer. I mean, neither of us are lawyers.
Starting point is 00:10:06 That's not how it works. Yeah, exactly. Now, in my opinion, by the way, this is still my opinion. I don't want to have anybody in the fucking country that's not a naturalized citizen that's supporting a terrorist organization. And I don't think that we need to afford the full rights of freedom of speech to people that are not even citizens to advocate for terror. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:24 You don't like the First Amendment. That's it. See? This is what I've been saying. What are we doing here? You don't like the First Amendment then. You are anti-free speech. That's it.
Starting point is 00:10:35 You are anti-free speech. Oh, God. Oh, geez. I don't know what to say, guys. Can you be deported as a U.S. resident? Yeah, can a naturalized citizen be deported? The short answer is yes. Well, no, you're right.
Starting point is 00:10:47 They can actually still deport you if you're a citizen. But like the bar for that is like infinitely higher. You folded, shaking my head? Wait, what? Uh-oh. Are they just imagining alternative realities? How the fuck am I folding? He's the one who's walking.
Starting point is 00:11:00 about folding or not folding or walking things back or not walking them back. You just look at what the rules are. You look at what's written down. And it sure seems like if this guy's connected to this group, he broke the rules. I mean, we don't need, like this is, it doesn't need to have any ego attached to this. This is, it's a simple evaluation of words on a page. That's all. This, we don't need to get emotionally attached to this. We don't need to get upset about this. Just look at what's being said and see whether it's true or not. I don't think it's that complicated. Is it? Jeez. Back, the underlying falsehood that he was operating off of, that he was so confidently
Starting point is 00:11:36 talking. The underlying falsehood. That has now been seen by hundreds of thousands of people. Now, the reason why, the reason why we can't have a fucking conversation, even though I added him directly, is because he doesn't want to have a conversation. It's not me. Let me just get this off my chest. This is the reason why Asman doesn't want to have a conversation.
Starting point is 00:11:54 On their last one, Hassan said this. By the way, Iran is actually weirdly very pro-trans. But I'm sure that you probably didn't know that. They're very homophobic. I actually didn't. They are very pro-trans. A lot of cultures are actually very pro-trans, way more than the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:12:12 The very next day after Aspen was banned, Hassan was belly laughing about it. Why? Because Iran actually forcefully pushes people to sex change when they are lesbian or gay as a mean to avoid persecution. I like that they're mad that, you know, Iran is woke on trans. Too woke. Way too woke.
Starting point is 00:12:31 A little too woke. They went overboard. Way too woke. Iran is the, Iran is the, the left went so far. You know, maybe they,
Starting point is 00:12:38 they went out of control a little bit. It's like they're doing what people said like Biden would do. They're doing, no, I said it on that conversation. I said they're doing Kamala Harris. They're doing transgender surgeries on inmates.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I'm a propagandist. Well, no, no, I'm just saying, I'm going to pay you. I'm saying I am. Okay. Well, then I want to,
Starting point is 00:13:00 I'm saying I am before you even play it. I have not only a genuine, firmly held ideological conviction here, but I also understand the preexisting rules set in place better than Asmigold does. It's okay. It's all right to not know everything. And I certainly don't know all of the confines of, like, I don't know everything about the fucking immigration law either. It seems like I know a little bit more than he does or at least know how to correctly read and interpret the things that are in front of me.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Yeah. Let's see if there's any more of these. I think there could be a little bit more. I don't know. Terrorist simps are out of control by Asmigol six hours ago. This is the video I did. He's not happy about this video. Terrorist simps are out of control, which by the way is true.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Absolutely completely out of control. Completely misrepresenting Palestine, totally hurting the cause, like massively detrimental to this group. Mahmoud Khalil, by the way. Mr. Free Speech Defender. Again. Again. When boobs.
Starting point is 00:14:00 are when boobs get pixelated, or when boobs are like a little bit smaller in a fucking video game, that's the worst thing that's ever happened to free speech. That's the grossest anti- True? Yeah, sure. And so you guys can see where I'm coming from, right? With like not wanting to engage with this? Why would I, why would I engage with this?
Starting point is 00:14:16 Free speech crime that Sony could commit on Stellar Blade. God forbid when the American state actually fucking puts down the hammer. Yes. And decides, we don't like what you have to say. You're going to get deported. Then he goes terrorist simps. We don't like what you have to say. Well, I mean, I would say that's a little bit of a, you know, kind of brushing it a little bit under the rug there.
Starting point is 00:14:37 I'd say just a just a little bit, right? Just a little bit. It's awesome. It's based. As I was saying, pro-Palestinian activist, Mom with Khalil was black-bagged from his Columbia universe. Black-bagged. This is like a term for what Stalin would do with people. It's again, the emotional escalation of this.
Starting point is 00:14:54 It's unbelievable. University campus apartment by the Department of Homeland Security, by I, vice agents and expeditiously shipped off to Louisiana. Today, in New York, a New York judge oversaw whether or not that was appropriate. Yes. Okay. And it's not appropriate. We learned that the Department of Homeland Security actually openly stated that there was no illegal reasons as to, there was no law that was violated for Mom with Kalilza. Which was not, has nothing to do with it at all. This is a total red herring. It never had anything to do with a law being broken or not. Maybe you could make that argument, but that's not the argument being made.
Starting point is 00:15:32 That's it. It was never the point. And so this is, again, it's capitalizing on people's lack of understanding or people's willingness to believe this. The fact is that if you're a green card holder, there are certain things that you still can't do. Like, for example, two of them are you can't vote and you also can't support terrorist organizations. You can't do either one of those.
Starting point is 00:15:54 So it's not the exact same thing as being a citizen. If it was, they'd be able to vote. And subsequent deportation or the deportation process starting. And that it was specifically because they didn't like what he was saying. They didn't like what he was saying. Yeah, I'd say so. Yeah, that's, what was he saying? I wonder, right?
Starting point is 00:16:14 I don't even know what to say. Yeah, this is crazy. They just didn't like what he had to say. Yeah, I wonder why. And this isn't even the first time. I don't understand why this is happening. It's kind of odd for me to see this. And yes, in terms of Moudahar, he's an interesting...
Starting point is 00:16:32 He's even getting mad at Moodahar. What's this? Person, because I used to talk to him all the time. I used to get help from him on like Steam Deck related stuff. And then he started orbiting Destiny around the same time that Destiny was like becoming super pro-pro Israel. And he noticeably was quiet on this issue. You know, he had more tweets about this. Not sure what he meant by your kind, though.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Maybe you know. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Like, you are not pro free speech. You're not an honest person. and all you care about either in this situation, all you care about is... This is like saying that like Hassan isn't pro-free speech because he doesn't want Aiden Ross back on the platform. It's just again, it's such an obvious misrepresentation.
Starting point is 00:17:11 It's either making money, okay? All you care about is either making money and farming this as like angling this in the least contentious way possible and make money off the backs of people fucking dying, babies getting murdered every single day by Israel. This is again more emotional manipulation. It's again, oh, well, this is about like, oh, there's babies getting killed. So now my opinion is right. Yeah, it's emotional appeals. It's not worth taking seriously.
Starting point is 00:17:38 It's either something that you're not genuinely interested in. Or B, it's worse. You actually do like Israel, but you're too ashamed to admit it. And I don't think he likes Israel and he's too ashamed to admit it. I think he's just like not very knowledgeable and, and, you know, wanted to make some, make a statement about it, but take a very centrist position. And because he can't... How can you get mad at a person for that?
Starting point is 00:17:59 He takes a moderate position because he doesn't feel like he's particularly informed about it. And he says this is problematic and that's fine. I feel like if you can't let people that are like, if you want to push everybody to extremism, you will. But it'll be to the other side. I can't say something directly about Israel or Gaza because then everyone's going to eat his ass alive.
Starting point is 00:18:20 All he does is go after people who do demonstrate the courage to talk about these issues. Having the courage to talk about the issues doesn't mean that you have to support terrorism. There are plenty of people that talk about the issues without supporting terrorism or playing terrorist propaganda. What is the only way to help the Palestinians to play terrorist propaganda? How does this doesn't make sense? Anyway, here's another one. And so, and this is what he said about it, too. Muda in this particular case, because he's an insane case, because he's a victim of the same right-wing mobs he often farms in videos. He literally left Twitter because of vicious racism. And now he's back again only to farm more.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Motherfucker, they hate you more than they hate me. Um, no. And this is Hassan trying to weaponize identity politics to say that Mudahar should be ideologically aligned with Hassan because of his skin color or his, his ethnicity. That's effectively what he's saying. He's saying that, well, you should be on my side because of your culture and this culture should be on our side. I don't, I don't think this is a good way of looking at it.
Starting point is 00:19:20 I don't. I, Mudahar, he might be an Indian American, but I think. he's from India. I'm not even, I'm not even really sure where Moudahar is fucking from. Honestly, I think it's India. Either way, um, is, he's Canadian? Sorry, future American. He's also a Canadian born here in Canada. He doesn't live in India as far as I know. Yeah, he's not in a, he's not an American yet. Having said that, part of the reason why, uh, he came back was to unironically, you know, play the role of one of the good ones. That's what's so crazy. So insinuating that Mudahar is now being an Uncle Tom and Uncle Ruckus. And he's saying that, well, aren't these brown people all kind of bad? I'm one of the good ones. I don't know about that, right? I mean, I don't think that's the case. I really don't. I don't think so at all. Perhaps you're saying cool-headed? No, I, the thing is that I never let things turn personal. I don't. I don't let things turn personal. I don't need them to be personal. This is a disagreement on an idea. And if people want to make it personal, that's their own prerogative. But I don't. I don't let things turn personal. But I don't need them to be personal. But I don't. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I'm not going to reciprocate them. This is just simply a disagreement that I have. And these are the reasons why I think it's bad. That's it. He's about it. Except someone wipes your rate. Yeah. He will say, I don't have a political opinion, but then also turn around and demonstrate a political opinion.
Starting point is 00:20:37 A political opinion that, of course, is trying to... I think that a political opinion of saying that it's not a good idea to play terrorist propaganda on Twitch. While, by the way, it was against T. You know, a little fine print there. It's not a political opinion. This is common sense. position himself as like a centrist person, okay, as a centrist person, angling it from the perspective of drama. To which he also responded, by the way, in your video on Gaza, he said, yes, I do admit
Starting point is 00:21:02 to not being an expert on the topic. Didn't cover it as drama since it isn't one. Serious situation with dead people and attacks happening every day. I just don't downplay rapes and sugarcoat violent organizations like you also didn't defend Asman in Vid. What's interesting about that response is, it basically demonstrates the exact thing that I'm talking about. It also is a lie. He did cover it as. simply drama because I responded back to him. Well, he covered it as drama because it was regarding, so there's two separate things. And these are like concentric circles. So there's like the Israel-Palestine conflict and then there's the way that it's being approached on Twitch. So if he
Starting point is 00:21:39 covers this inner circle of it, that doesn't mean that he's covering the greater issue, even though the greater issue is informing the inner circle. That's the difference. I'm saying, uh, I didn't cover it as drama with. Which, and I think it's, it's very important because like if Moudahar had covered Israel Palestine as like a meme and like, you know, like whatever, right? Then I would have said that was disrespectful. I would agree with Hassan. I just don't think that's what he was doing. I don't think that's what he intended on doing either. Like I know Mudahar. I've spoken to him multiple times. I don't know him well. I would say like I'm, you know, an acquaintance so far. But I like the guy. I do. I like the guy. And it's it's conflation.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Yeah, exactly. The things that were being said on Twitch are. in some cases kind of separate from the actual conflict itself. Like these two things are, it's like two separate realms. This tweet, okay. Yo, Je Dion, thanks for five selves, man. I appreciate it. Hope you doing well, man. I don't do this.
Starting point is 00:22:33 And then ends up doing you. I've been watching it. I responded with, we were a year into a genocide here. This was your only video. This is again, where you're into a genocide. This is again another emotional appeal. Another, oh my God. I hate that argument.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Well, it's just to claim the moral high ground. It's to claim the moral high ground so you can grandstand about something. video on the topic, it downplayed and ran defense for Asma's takes, while the bulk of your commentary revolved around how evil to pro-Palestinian streamers were from clips you compiled off snark subreddits. 990,000 views, though. And then I said, just going to leave. I watched his video about me. I don't think that he really defended me.
Starting point is 00:23:06 I think that he just said that I misspoke and I was talking about Hamas and not all Palestinians, which is effectively true. But I misspoken, that's my fault. So it's not really defending, it's clarifying. This year, let's say here. I think we've got one more. Oh, here we go. It's time for much of the time frame and my coverage,
Starting point is 00:23:20 on Israel, Palestine. I haven't really hyper-focused on, like, a bunch of these, these drama slob tubers. I think bad empanada has done a decent job. Bad empanada has done a decent job of, like, going after some of these guys, at least, like, by, by breaking down the lack of arguments that they're posting on their videos, right?
Starting point is 00:23:39 Because normally you would think, like, okay, these guys don't, these guys don't have any sort of serious interests or whatever. Why are you talking about them? They're silly. They're completely. completely, they're just, they're, they're irrelevant, right? Like, real things are happening in the world, and these guys are relevant. They're not, because as a collective, they have the capacity to basically fucking inform a lot of
Starting point is 00:24:03 uninformed people for much of the... Impanata, the guy was banned off of Twitch for playing game to violate a T.S. I just don't know the guy. I don't want to make a lot of opinions on him because I just simply don't know him. That's all. The clips were actually sourced from the creators who streamed them. No, they weren't. You fucking took clips that were directly out of context,
Starting point is 00:24:20 from fucking Destiny's subreddit. All roads, all roads lead back to Destiny. And the thing is that, to Hassan's credit, I'm sure there is a degree of this that's true, that a lot of people in Destiny's community do work in cryptic ways to make Hassan look bad. I think that the constant boogeymanning of Destiny and Destiny's Community makes him sound kind of schizo.
Starting point is 00:24:47 It does. Like, for example, like Destiny's Community is, also made a lot of posts. Like a lot of the times when I saw there were a bunch of posts, anytime Destiny would say anything about me or anything like that, there would always be a bunch of posts from people that are from his subreddit that would post it on my subreddit. It is true that sometimes they brigade. That's what every group does. That's what every community does. Destiny's community is very aggressive. They are. But at the same time, that aggression doesn't matter. The main thing that matters is the actual subject material, right? Yeah, the facts matter
Starting point is 00:25:17 more. Where a lot of this stuff comes from, it's okay. You don't have to admit it, but we know that that's what a lot of slop tubers do. It's not just destiny suburb either. And this is again, you know, a de-legitimization of Moudahar slop tubor. Now Mouda-Har isn't legitimate, positioning himself as above Mouda-Har, you know, a sense of authority. Like, you see how this is happening, right? Hassan's a slop-tuber too. Well, people, like, there are people that say that. Would I say that? No, I don't think Hassan's a slop-tuber. I don't think Muddha is either. I think this is just a pejorative term that Hassan is using to de-legitimize Mudd. And I think that it's inaccurate. They literally, most people that make these kinds of like drama-centered videos,
Starting point is 00:25:56 unironically just source it off of fucking Reddit. That's it. They literally go off of Reddit comments. That is the, that's the game out here. That is the level of research. He's right about this. That's true. That most people dedicate to T channels and drama channels in general. I think this is an abstract accusation that implies a lack of credibility. But this isn't really accompanied by any example or any specific case of an inaccuracy. It's not done out of any sort of authentic viewpoint. It's done to delegitimize the opposition. Um, but yeah, it's, uh, it's, notice how there is no statement here, okay? Notice how there is no like evidence here. The evidence is, which is allowing violent and unfiltered rhetoric or you're downplaying rapes. They aren't. Hassan didn't get in trouble. And
Starting point is 00:26:42 again, I'm not advocating for Hassan to get in trouble now. I believe in the statute of limitations. I'll say it again. But at the same time, he did play terrorist propaganda. He interviewed a terrorist. These things happen. Unequivocally, these things happen. That's it. It isn't a debate, right? It's bad. Shouldn't have done that. Like, does this, did this person read the UN report? Does he have, did he, did he even want? That wasn't about the UN report. It was about Twitch doing something wrong. So the thing is that this is again an appeal to some form of authority. Well, he didn't read the UN report. The video's not about the U.N. report. The video's not about the report. The video is about Twitch and their policy and how they apply their policy and if people
Starting point is 00:27:23 on the platform are breaking that policy. It's not about the issue itself. Watch like the Cheryl Sandberg. And the reason, by the way, this is an appeal to authority is because he's sourcing an authority that's not relevant to the topic. When your doctor tells you that you need to stop eating Cheetos because you're getting fat, you can't tell your doctor that he's making an appeal to authority because he has a relevant contextual knowledge about the topic. An appeal to authority is when you reference authority or a degree of awareness, that's not relevant directly to the topic, which is what Hassan is doing right here. Didn't he dismiss the UN report? Well, whether he did or didn't, it's completely not relevant to the video.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Atrocity propaganda flick and then develop his opinion on this issue, did he read any Israeli newspapers or American newspapers on the matter? And that's how he came up with this idea that like mass rapes had taken place, screams without words, propaganda piece that was immediately undermined, by the way. Well, there were also the women that came out and said that they got raped. I mean, there was that too. And it should be acknowledged that it happened. Unless all the women are lying, hey, maybe they're all lying. Did he, did he do any of that? Is that why he has this position? No, he has no position. Well, the same to Hill the Die on. And I think that optically, it hasn't been. And I think
Starting point is 00:28:33 that optically, it's been bad for Hassan. Just repeating something he saw on Reddit. That's my point. Yeah, he's just framing drama for reviews from his right-wing gamer audience. I don't think you should quite an accusation to me. To be fair, he's reading a chat message. It's, Hassan is just simply reading what somebody else is saying. But I think that what that person is saying is bullshit. I'm not. I know that that is the statement.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I know that that is what's going on. I don't like that. I don't like that these guys is only politics is basically so many sloptovers, so many slop tubers online. Their only frame of reference for politics is just like, this guy is an avatar for all things progressive. A lot of people fucking hate him for that reason. I'm just going to shit on that guy.
Starting point is 00:29:15 And it's a it's a cowardly way to say your position without saying your position. Okay. Oh, I'm a liberal. But honestly, I don't really like this guy who is seemingly far too progressive for me. Guys, I'm one of the good ones. Come on. I'm a centrist. And it's very frustrating.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Well, a liberal isn't a centrist. Like, I don't know. I mean, I don't think so. I mean, I guess maybe they could be. But to me, I don't think that they are. It's very frustrating to see that shit. It's cowardly. It's infinitely, it's infinitely better if you just don't even entertain this stuff at all.
Starting point is 00:29:45 You don't bring it up. You don't get into it. You don't throw your hat in the fucking ring. It's all copy paste, too. It's all copy paste. It's all ridiculous. Well, the reason it's copy paste is because people are talking about the same topic. But I think that that's basically really it.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Okay, so that's basically it. I think that I've pretty much established the way that I feel about it. I think that Hassan has framed it in a disingenuous way. And I think that the support of this guy, I think just categorically, and according to at least like my understanding, of the law is really misplaced, this Mahmoud Khalil guy. I'll say also that I think he deserves a fair trial. I think it's a really important topic and it's something that it's directly related to me. Obviously, I've got people talking about me and like my opinions about this, people calling me a racist,
Starting point is 00:30:33 a fascist, you know, a Nazi, et cetera for this kind of stuff. Of course I'm going to express my viewpoints on this. Of course I'm going to defend myself to an extent. I hope that whatever rights he does have are followed and I do not support any revocation of those rights. I think that even though I disagree with what he's doing and or like I disagree with him being here, I don't think that, you know, that that means that he shouldn't, you know, be given the fair treatment, right? Hassan was right about one thing is that a lot of people watch my videos. And so I want to make sure that people have. And of course, like, I mean, you know, it's his right to respond to anything that I'm saying and, you know, to give his perspective on it too and to disagree. however much he wants, that's totally okay. But this is what my perspective is, and I think that this is a very fair perspective, and it's a genuine perspective that I think is shared by, I would say, the overwhelming majority of the country,
Starting point is 00:31:27 that we don't need to have people who are not citizens coming into our country advocating for terrorism or being part of groups that advocate for terrorism. So yeah, terrorism is too vague of a term right now. Okay, maybe you're right, but I think that any reasonable person would agree that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Like I would say that like that's definitely, you know, like there's a gray area and then there's the black and white.
Starting point is 00:31:49 This is on that side.
