All my former Leftist heroes have revealed themselves to be ableist, and all my disability justice heroes are dead. I've never felt so politically alone, nor so thoroughly vindicated.

Hi. I’m Zohran Mamdani. And next week, I’ll be traveling to Auschwitz to learn about the biggest problem in human history: antisemitism. After that I’ll head to Israel to kiss the wall. But I’m not just gonna kiss it. I’m gonna lick it and suck on it too.

It's more acceptable in the DSA to be a liberal Zionist than protect yourself with a mask.

Leftist streamers are doing cocomelon for adults that don’t like to read. Why are any of you taking them so seriously lol

Sometimes, SOMETIMES, it’s strategic to be palatable, but never at the cost of internalizing and reinforcing desirability and respectability politics onto others.
You’d think seasoned leftist influencers would know the difference.

The trick here is framing the most meaningful disagreements as minor. A disagreement about the fundamentals of your movement is not minor.
You can really tell he only used What Is to Be Done as a photo prop bc he's taking legit every position Lenin savages in the book.
Hasan Piker clarifies his statements on the importance of 'being normal' with regard to building our movement and bringing people to our side:
"I'm not saying we're going to write off trans people, queer people, disabled people, that's ridiculous. I've never done that and I will never do that. But also, a big part of 'be normal' is to have regular disagreements but allow that discourse to take place without treating minor disagreements among comrades as though these are eugenicists who want to assassinate you with a gun."

Interviewed a Palestinian prisoner the other day, and he said something that really stuck with me. He said people try to get you to think that being "pragmatic" means changing your goals. This is liberal talk. Remember, pragmatism applies only to strategy and tactics.

I have rewatched Mad Men 12 times in full and I genuinely cannot imagine ever getting sick of it. I still find new things every time to admire. It’s just the best thing ever put on television, a complete portrait of america set during its cultural zenith. It’s a work of art

Wearing a suit indoors by myself because I'm very normal. Being invited to the DNC on account of how normal I am. Flexing my new Porsche like a normal person. Obsessively defending the Zionist Brad Ladner be ause I'm so normal.
Hasan Piker had a heart-to-heart with his community about the power of being 'normal' with the goal of bringing people to our side. It's important to be palatable. He also talked about the dangers of gatekeeping and about why it's important to extend olive branches to those unfamiliar with leftist and socialist ideology: "It's probably unhelpful to make it even less accessible if we are feeding into the preconceived notions of what it means to be a socialist; an annoying woke-scold. I've never done that and perhaps that is a major part of the reason why this community is the size that it is. Throughout many different hinge points when this community has grown, there have always been people that have demanded a retreat over and over again. 'Why are you welcoming these new people? They are reactionary. Why are you welcoming these new people? They are ableist. Why are you welcoming these new people? They are racist and transphobic.' Some of those people we have welcomed with open arms and they have changed their minds over time. Is your goal to have the perfect safe space where no one disagrees with you? Or is your goal to build a mass movement? Purity testing, taking a morally righteous, maximalist position; these are poisonous for community development. Poisonous for organizing."
