Hasan is a saint trying his best to make a capitalist understand why capitalism = bad.

He’s not gonna get it, bro. It’s not in his materialist interest.

TBH, Hasan is also not the best debater but every other “socialist” debatebro is a PatSoc chud so I don’t think they’ll do a better job.

He used to be better, but I think because Twitch as a platform allows you to ramble on and on, and you only have to respond to a chat which of course has a much harder time communicating, it worsens your debate skills over time.

    This is not a debate. This is a podcast between friends.

    This episode focused on this topic specifically because they went off the rails last week discussing China and Taiwan. I feel Ethan is actually trying to learn, or could be being adversarial to further the conversation, filling time, or most likely, a combination of these possibilities.

    What is the Socratic Method?

      Yea I do think he’s trying to learn, but he obviously has some hangups that he just couldn’t see beyond. It was frustrating listening to the “equity” sharing portion, I don’t think Hasan did a good job explaining that at all (or maybe his view differs more from mine than I thought, idk)
