    I literally watched around three hours of the video, I simply just didn’t know what the fundraising was for, I assumed it was for Palestine considering the subject, but I never bothered to check

    Trust me I’m fully aware of the granular details of this saga

      Okay. Sorry for suspecting that you didn’t. I am a little bit annoyed by number of people who commented that they didn’t watch it at all.

      Maybe they didn’t choose a Palestinian charity this time because there is a full aid block on Gaza for the past 65+ days. I think it’s basically impossible for aid to get into Gaza right now.

      Cancer research is also a valid cause.

        It’s cool, alot of older millennials on this site simply don’t take streaming or streamers seriously, which I get

        Frankly tho, I think that attitude has to change; Hasan, Mike from PA, Badempanda, these people are quickly acquiring enormous audiences and radicalizing hundreds of thousands of people in real time…hell iShowSpeed isn’t even political and he borderline single-handily dismantled a decade worth of US propaganda about China in a few short weeks

        It makes the podcast era from eight years ago look like a joke in comparison, we got to take this stuff seriously

          I can’t speak for the others but I take it about as serious as I take the ‘podcast era’, which is not at all

          infotainment doesn’t foment class consciousness, organizing does. simple as
