Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur 3h Can everyone please stop the dumb "from the river to the sea" chant? It is incredibly hurtful to our Jewish brothers and sisters. It's also incredibly counterproductive to protecting Palestinians. Do not chant something that majority thinks is call for genocide. Not complicated. Dec 11, 2023 · 11:09 PM UTC

Not too long ago I was at a pro-Palestine protest where members of Jewish Voice For Peace were gladly joining along with "From the river to the sea" chants

So shut the fuck up Cenk

majority

Nattering media class yet again mistakes the few hundred of their peers who pretend to believe from the river to the sea is antisemitic represent a majority

the same logic that earned him a whopping 5% of the vote in 2020 when he ran for congress

It's genuinely hilarious he's running for president. Like people either have no idea who he is or are so terminally lib brained they're definitely voting for Biden anyways.

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 44 points 9 months ago

He's running for president? Lol lmao

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 39 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Hasan said on the latest Patreon episode of Fear& that no one (Cenk and the family) thinks he is going to win and that the point of him running is that, if he gains any traction at all, Democrats are going to have to admit they need to replace Biden with someone else.

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 43 points 9 months ago

if he gains any traction at all

Lol ok sure

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 38 points 9 months ago

Hasan did call his family crazy for thinking Cenk has a shot at all lol

Can he even run? I thought he was born in Turkey.

[-] riseuppikmin@hexbear.net 43 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

He was and is not eligible under current laws (as he has been told repeatedly by state election officials). The only good thing to possibly come out of this campaign is getting that law changed, but don't hold your breath because burgerland is way too fucking racist on aggregate to possibly tackle that.

I think it's one of those things where he could run but legally he can't be president. I have no idea honestly. It was a blip in conversation about how Gruesome Gavin should run because he's hot and who the hottest president was.

Isn't that basically why Marianne Williamson is running? She's polling way higher than Cenk ever would and the media are happy to pretend she's not running.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

if he gains any traction at all, Democrats are going to have to admit they need to replace Biden with someone else.

Imagine being such a bootlicking loser that the only reason you spend tons of money running for president is so that 'your' party maybe concedes that their candidate sucks.

And replace Biden with what, exactly? Some other hollowed out husk of a human that has 97% of the same views Biden does?

Joe Biden is a liberal, maybe THE liberal; he IS 'your team'.

Imagine getting dominated that badly and thinking "yeah I definitely have a deep understanding of politics and my fellow americans" instead of just stepping back from bloviating and retiring

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 19 points 9 months ago

I guess that's what happens when you don't get the Armenian vote because you don't think their genocide was real either.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 17 points 9 months ago

That shit was pathetic. It would have been smarter for him to go more local and run for a spot on a school board or the LA city council. Probably would have had more success too if his enormous ego didn't get in the way.

Still amazing that after all those years he still hasn't renamed his channel.

I mean, there's a clothing store in the US called "Banana Republic". Is that a bad look? Sure, to people like us, who know. But at a certain point your brand surpasses the original atrocity it's associated with in the cultural memory and no one cares.

You see the reactionary brain pan is inherently violent and will commit atrocities at the slightest provocation.

How does he still not get that there will never be a form of resistance that will be considered acceptable?

[-] huf@hexbear.net 29 points 9 months ago

yeah, if the chant had been "peaceful and reasonable accommodation with the state of israel", they would've called that a genocidal chant. there's no point.

Gonna go ahead and say the guy with the media empire called the young turks is being disingenuous when he's complaining how bad seeming to support genocide can be for your messaging.

Know what's not complicated? Speaking out against genocide. It's really easy actually. Shame Cenk can't even do that

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 33 points 9 months ago

Why does no one seem to say this to the other side when they say 'no ceasefire', that it sounds like support of genocide (I asked rhetorically)

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 30 points 9 months ago

look, it's very simple. palestinians are stupid children who are incapable of properly advocating for themselves, so we must refrain from using their absurd political slogans

When will left libs learn that it doesn't matter what they say or do the right. Will never care or respect them. No matter how much they roll over and piddle on themselves the center and the right will always see "progressives," or whatever term they are using this decade, as children to be ignored.

Ending occupation isn't the equivalent of what isntrael is doing to the Palestinians.

From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.

[-] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago

Didn't he just go on a rant against zionists that turned a bunch of heads on the left? Was he cynically trying to win over some left cred just so he could sell this to some people?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
