Jubilee is a uniquely, monstrously cynical and hollow media org. It's literally just trying to capture the appeal of Roman gladiatorial combat in media form except it's boring/depressing as fuck.

Agreed. And Jublilee clearly seeks out far right people that already have a significant presence online. Strictly profiting off of obvious rage bait and normalizing the lunatics. Fuck them.

Also the rumor is they deceived Medhi Hasan into believing he would just be debating average MAGA people and online Nazi groypers like the fat tub of shit that got himself fired.

...and yet he wiped the floor with all of them

It’s injecting Nazi and fascist discourse into the popular consciousness as something to debate as opposed to something that isn’t worth considering. It shouldn’t be watched and people like Hasan shouldn’t take part.

Yeah. That’s why you’re demonized. It’s totally not because of you wearing the gear of totalitarian genocidal death camp-running jackboots we had to fight a whole fucking war against.

Yes I think this is part of why he was annoyed. I think he was told he was going to be debating more mainstream MAGA types rather than just a straight up bunch of outright, terminally online Nazis.

A couple interesting points in this discussion.  Mehdi implies he was duped, indicated he was expecting more normal MAGA rather than crazies and acknowledged a tension between giving these people a platform vs. showing how dumb they are.  He also indicates that they cut out some extremely racist stuff and he wasn't able to talk about it.

I gotta say here that agreeing to debate 20 MAGA types and then being surprised to find a Nazi among them might be the dumbest statement to come out of this. Especially if you ever watched any of these dogshit videos.

I remember Springer bring cheeky and fun, or the Nazis were at least made fun of. Plus you had more harmless shit.

Most of the time it was, but it was also driven by fabricating conflicts.

beyond that, the biggest thing about gen z is that they think that everything/everyone who came before them is dumb, outdated, and irrelevant. they could choose to learn everything about everything. the amount of information that’s available to them is almost unfathomable, and yet they know less about what came before them than any group of people ever, because to them, if it’s older than they are, it doesn’t matter. they’re so, so arrogant, and oddly proud to be so ignorant of history. these kids are so fucked. 

sure, pre internet i knew jerry lucas, earl weaver, babe didrkison zaharias, ken hall, and anson dorrance, but we’re asking too much for gen z to know who tim lincecum is.

Expecting young people to recognize a guy who was a great pitcher, but only flashed for a relatively small window in a sport that is dying off faster than the Silent Generation, is a bit much.  It's not like he's a legend of the game.  Maybe if they only asked young baseball players in the Bay Area they'd get some more recognition, but I doubt it.

when i was in HS 20+ years ago all of the baseball players played strat-o-matic, and were by far the most knowledgeable athletes in the school when came to the history of the sport they played. without the internet even being in our lives guys knew individual season stats for duke snyder, brooks robinson, and rod carew. i feel like tommy lee jones in NCFOM watching these gen z players have no clue who tim lincecum is.
