Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I havent watched him, so cant speak directly for his content, but isn't pointing out problems to a large audience better than not?
If he doesnt know the solutions, why not leave that to someone who does instead of suggesting something that could possibly be harmful?
I think highlighting the real issues to the population is important because right now the blame for everything is wrongly put on immigrants and minorities.
I know Twitch causes echochambers in the channels, but maybe a few right wing people are curious about his stream and it could make them think differently?
I recommend just listening to him yourself and making up your own mind instead of whatever bullshit that dude is saying

He is a news aggregate with a fake leftist filter and is totally audience captured.
His audience are tankies who justify the actions of Hamas and dismiss any wrongdoing. To paraphrase "I don't care if rapes happened (on October 7th), it doesn't change the situation for me at all."
He lives in a multi-million dollar mansion, wears designer clothes, drives a Porsche, and complains about capitalism.
To not paraphrase, the point was that oct 7th was a less egregious act of violence than what Isreal had been doing and is doing currently.
So yea, it's fair to say that it doesn't change much if the oct 7th had behaded babies or if it had Palestinian gifting flower crowns to Israeli snipers martiring themselves while singing Imagine.
Considering that Israel does the equivalent of an October 7 against civilians in Gaza roughly every few weeks, yeah whether or not rapes happened on October 7th doesn't really change the overall situation.
To put it into perspective, the October 7 death toll is roughly 1,200. Since then, the death toll in Gaza has been around 40,000. No amount of rapes on October 7th will absolve Israel or change the dynamic.
Are you saying that rape is an acceptable?
