Donkey Kong was basically an odyssey sequel, fwiw

I think removal is fine for non-malicous posting of slop without a tag. Either tag it (and yes, agreed that reposting for mockery is fine) or having it removed or, if the attempt was malicious (“look at what I made”), ban of some amount.

I think this is where any claim to authorship/creation is what should actually be a bannable offense. Anything else (getting snookered by someone else’s slop) should be given grace, but if a hexbear poster creates slop and is unwilling to claim it as AI generated, that’s a bannable offense imo.

Transparency is what matters. If a poster is conned as well though, they need to edit as soon as it’s made known.

Trying to pass off slop as original content you created should be bannable imo.

I don’t buy this at all. Not going to say he’s a true ally, but his work for the NYC DSA slate and also AES and Cuba suggest he’s more than just a grifter to me.

If his goal is to make Mamdani unremarkable, our goal should be to make Hasan unremarkable, but I don’t think dumping him is actually the way to do so. Just my .02 but it feels like there’s way more obvious targets out there (Grim after this platner shit, liberals and right wingers) than someone who is already far to the left of the Overton window in America and generally avoids the worst kinds of slopulism. The fact he’s never backed down on trans rights, Palestine,etc. even though it would have been the easiest pivot suggests he’s in good faith even if he’s still an electoralist.

Just my .02 and obviously you’re welcome to disagree but I think there’s way more important targets than someone who pushes for the most left candidates our current system offers. Our job, in union organizing (what I do) and other forms of power is to produce the real material leverage that can change the system beyond electoralism.

Hasan is an electoralist at the end of the day though. For those of us who see it as one strategy (and I should say, my personal position is electoralism is a means to an end, it can open up space for organizing wins ( i.e. if right wing administrations produce organizing energy, left wing organizations make it slightly easier to do the actions to get real wins for my members. This isn’t to say you can’t strike under a right wing admin, but there’s definitely more contingencies in that case. Just my .02)).

I’d rather have someone like DAC in office when my union strikes since they might actually show up at the picket like and push the administrative state to pressure my bosses. That’s just my perspective though, and obviously I understand that anti electoralist comrades think that’s not worth it in the grand scheme. Still, if Hasan got someone like that elected in my state/district, I think it would be worth it.

Honestly Ryan grim needs to be purged. I know Hasan and others get a lot of (deserved) hate but Grim’s dead ender shit was really disgusting

I mean, it’s hard to say that Hasan ever “defended” platner. Perhaps skeptical of the previous NYT article, but the only real accusation there was from a right wing operative, so skepticism was warranted

Could he have condemned him harder, sure, but he never suggested this is the new model for Dems (Mamdani and DSA NY clearly have that endorsement from him). If anything from what I’ve seen he used platner to illustrate the hollow nature of the Dems and also the desire for socialism (and platner of course doesn’t identify as such and was basically a grifter drafting behind left momentum).

Could he have been more full throated/anti-troop? Sure. But he’s doing electoralism in america where the civic religion around troops is wild. But it’s hard to say “you’re wrong” about someone being aremoved when, again, the only other accusations were from a right wing hatchet woman who helped get Brett kavanaugh on the supreme court.

If anyone is still defending platner though, they need to get purged asap. He’s a very good cautionary tale for why we need better organization to find people who aren’t just grifters reading the room or half baked radicals.

National and NY DSA did well here but Maine DSA needs to report for reeducation

No sweat, the poster in the screenshot clearly wants readers to think just that, that zohran and Platner are the same.

This is correct. Tbh most of his commentary was similar to ettingermnentum where Platner is a symptom of the Dems being unable to run credible candidates so any person who is anti establishment, anti-zionist, left-coded destroys establishment candidates.

Most of the time he’s also pointed to Abdul in Michigan as a far better example of a left candidate. And furthermore, before the accusations there was an argument that if the options are mills, Platner, and collins, well, that’s pretty easy math. Obviously DSA/PSL dropped the ball not running someone, but I don’t know how organized the orgs are in Maine.

Of course even AES isn’t a DSA member like DAC, so obviously more work can be done, but I think Hasan, AOC, etc. Actually get the W here, they never endorsed and treated this shit with the skepticism it deserved.

I’m pretty sure that’s not a direct defense of Platner but the poster borrowing the Mamdani quote to justify their continued support. I may be wrong but that’s how I read it.

Edit source : https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/18/politics/mamdani-sanders-democrats-rally

It was spoken at a DSA slate rally. Know who’s not DSA? Platner.

Edit 2: say what you will about Mamdani and AOCIA, neither one was taken in by this merc, so while we should still critique them, I think maybe a bit of respect for the game if nothing else. Keeping your powder dry is a virtue. If you have receipts either endorsed I’m all ears

What’s sad is that USA is terrible but Belgium is too. America coulda been the scrappy underdog who kills the evil colonialists (never mind they were also colonialists, Belgium was pretty fucking evil). However trump intervening killed any shine they might have had

The 5-4 theory of conservative jurisprudence is useful: right wingers simply operate on good boy bad boy theory. The law is to punish bad boys (who are naturally so) and all leniency to good boys (and again, good as inborn based on race etc.)

Everything else is backfilled from that political end.

To be fair, the post does say NSFW in the title (though maybe putting nudity in the text would help too).

However clicking it gave me a experience

That’s too bad, the original -> A’s -> StrikerS series was pretty great if I remember (been a minute since I watched).

Nanoha-mama and Fate-mama was pretty peak though.

I only ever played her path. Felt like I didn’t need anything more after her.

The fact that the White Devil is not there is pretty blasphemous.

Edit: is it just that new generations don’t know about Nanoha? Did it die after StrikerS?

I believe all the claims except for the right wing operative, there’s likely embellishments and fabrications there. Everyone else tho, I believe straight up.

Feel the thrill of being alive.

Totally fair, and obviously the old HK cinema has plenty of great stuff with Maggie Chueng as well.
