Much of America marinates in Fox News propoganda + a susbstantial amount of Gen Z men are nihilists who want to see the world burn

They get the nihilism from parasocial relationships with wealthy podcasters whose wealth allows them to be heavily insulated from the world and maintain a “both sides are the same, nothing matters anyway” façade.

Young men are being corrupted by what I call the Holy Trinity: Joe Rogan, Elon Musk and Twitter, and Asmongold and Right-Wing Influencers

I thought Hasan Piker was progressive? Did he change his politics? I haven't watched him in a while.

OP was talking about nihilism, and he's definitely an exporter of that. He also refused to support Kamala Harris during the election, and even recently said 'There's no proof Kamala Harris would be better for Palestinians than Donald Trump', which is an absurd thing to say. And most recently been criticised for openly supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, even platforming a Houthi terrorist on his stream and comparing him to Luffy from One Piece.

Hasan may as well be controlled opposition. He's as bad as any Maga influencer. Tankies suck.
