‘Young Turks’ has a more generalized use. It’s even got a disambiguation page on wikipedia.

It’s still weird everyone ignores Cenk named his organization after the perpetrators of the Armenian genocide…
Armenian Genocide, campaign of deportation and mass killing conducted against the Armenian subjects of the Ottoman Empire by the Young Turk government during World War I (1914–18). Armenians charge that the campaign was a deliberate attempt to destroy the Armenian people and, thus, an act of genocide. The Turkish government has resisted calls to recognize it as such, contending that, although atrocities took place, there was no official policy of extermination implemented against the Armenian people as a group.

Or that the only reason Hasan has a platform is he’s a nepo nephew…

The Young Turks committed multiple genocides, claiming you named it after a different organization named after the originals isn’t the slam dunk you think it is, especially considering how recent the fucking Armenian genocide is

Hasan’s platform is Twitch and he’s largely built up his following by doing the same influencer circuit as everyone else.
If he’s got any aces up his sleeze, they’re that he’s gorgeous, he’s quick witted, and he got in on the ground floor when DSA was blowing up

I don’t think this is correct, both Hasan and Asmongold are a part of Night Media and I’ve seen no attempt by Hasan to leave. Hasan is also weirdly kiddy-gloved when talking about Asmongold, at least it was like this in the past.

Is this some AI hallucination bullshit?

Which part? Me claiming that him winning the influencer lottery doesn’t seem random, or him working for Night Media?
