Praying for people who are completely ignorant of the debate space to stop giving the most tired, thoughtless, level 1 takes ever. “O it doesn’t change ppls minds!!!” “ackshually I think they r just as brainwashed as ervry1 else!!!” There’s a reason why MAGA and socialists avoid debate at all costs, and it’s because they know it hurts their ideology. TPUSA and the early popularity of the Daily Wire all road heavily off the back of their popular debater “kings”, etcetc

I've been permanently banned from Twitch for about 3 years because I said a particular group of militant trans-activists online were "inbred" and that they don't represent the average trans person. The CEO, Daniel Clancy, is personal friends with hasanabi though, and the two of them are pretty motivated to keep me banned from the site. The last time I applied for an unban, the Trust and Safety actually granted it and unbanned my account, but Hasan saw I was unbanned, started nervously texting/messaging Clancy, and then Clancy manually rebanned me from the website lol. Authoritarian types can only exist in echo chambers because they cannot stand to be critically confronted, ever. It's why hasanabi avoids any challenging interviews, and why the types like Mehdi Hasan will avoid answering actually critical questions from people with the knowledge to question them.

More dodging. Stop responding to me, these deflections are as predictable as they are pathetic. You cannot engage at this level because you have reduced yourself to a simpleminded activist without the capacity for critical thought, accept it and just move on. And stop pretending that this was your excuse to cower from a challenging conversation, you've been dodging me from far before I've raised these specific criticisms towards you (attached video 1). 1. It beggars belief that you think it unfair for me to accuse you of being a "mask-on radical Islamist" when you are giving a free pass to a man who mask-off defends radical Islamists. You have accused people of Islamophobia for far, far less than what people have accused Hasan of anti-Semitism. Not every accusation of you supporting terrorism has to come from a place of bigotry, especially when you refuse to call out people who you are promoting on your own programs who openly support terrorist attacks against the West. You have remained silent on this claim, you refuse to engage with it. People see that, and it's fair for them to draw assumptions about you when you allow these types of narratives to pass by you without criticism or mention. 2. It's funny that you claim I had my ass "handed to me" by Norman Finkelstein, then back that up by linking to a video of him...calling me silly names. You realize he later admitted to Briahna Joy Gray (attached video 2) and Marc Lamont Hill (attached video 3) that he had no intention of ever approaching that debate in good faith, yes? His whole idea was to just go in and act like a baffoon the entire time because he thought it would be funny. It speaks highly to your intellectual honesty that you consider it to be an impressive performance when he himself admits to acting like a clown; I suppose it's emblematic of how much of a joke you are when it comes to taking the Israel/Palestine conflict seriously, though. Funnily enough, there's actually only a few major factual disagreements we had, since Finkelstein spent the majority of the time screaming at me and calling me names. One of them had to do with the "plausibility standard" that the ICJ uses to initially hear a case brought before the court. (attached video 4)
