    I’m so glad that I immediately go for the “Do Not Recommend Channel” whenever I see him on YouTube. I genuinely think it’s made a positive difference in my blood pressure / stress levels.

      It’s just like everyone looked at alt-right young Nazi streamers, and learned all the wrong lessons…

      Literally:

      The show’s name Young Turks has been criticized and called for change[35] due to the original Young Turks political movement in the Ottoman Empire being responsible for committing the Armenian genocide, the Assyrian genocide, and the Greek genocide.[37][36] Alex Galitsky, who works for the Armenian National Committee of America, stated “If a group decided to call themselves ‘the Young Nazis’, and pitched themselves as a disruptor or anti-establishment news outlet, people would be rightly outraged”.[37]

      That’s his uncle that mentored him… Those are the people who shaped his political opinions

      There’s plenty of actual progressive streamers, hell, Kat has an open schedule, and people actually like her.

      The only people who like Hasan, are people who want to piss off people who disagree with them.

      If we’re gonna piss of Nazis, there’s better ways to do it than hanging out with different flavors of bigots and genocide enthusiasts.
