And I hope Hasan Piker doesn't wind up betraying his espoused values the minute he obtains actual political power. Humanity is still too intent being dominated by Big People, and they're gonna keep falling for it over and over until we grow beyond it. I don't hate Velma, but she spouts some really boneheaded non-arguments instead of actually trying to figure out what the hell I'm saying, and that's kinda disappointing sometimes.
That's the risk of it all right? In order to win somebody has to organize but abusers are super good at infiltration organizing efforts and putting themselves in the center
I hope he doesn't too. I kind of always thought he was an attention seeking punk, but this year he's actually helping change some things and super cynical people I respect are giving him a chance.
That's good though. I find her very intelligent and you very funny. It seems like in any other situation you guys would vibe most excellently.
