    He has too much faith in the democrats and has bad takes on Ukraine, but for the most part he’s alright. He is important for the pipeline but he is not the end destination

    He’s really good at throwing libs into the leftist radicalisation pipeline. He also shows a healthy image of masculinity that can be a model for young men, instead of letting them fall for the toxic ones like Andrew Tate.

    Also I think he’s hiding his true power level and he’s actually way more radical than he’s willing to show on Twitch dot television.

    Edit: This sums up my entire point in 13 seconds. From a few hours ago, when he covered the LA anti-ICE protest on the ground: “I used to hate-watch you, but you’re all good and now I fuck with you”.

    It’s crazy to me that a decade into this, and here of all places, and leftists would still have anything but positive things to say about Hasan.

    He’s arguably (and it’s an easy argument to make) the most influential progressive media personality in the western world. As a media analyst alone his input is invaluable. The man streams every single day for 8-10 hours, breaking down the news and explaining the underlying material reality behind the current events to a stadium full of people.

    There is a very clear reason why each time he goes to rallies and events both attendants and organizers line up to say “thanks for getting me into this”. He is a role model that we so desperately need more of if we were to have a coordinated mass movement.

    As he likes to say: “Judge me by my enemies”. When your enemies are the entire online right, fox news, republican politicians, the ADL, and just generally all the worst people, but you only ever come out stronger - you’re doing the right thing.

      There are plenty of negative things to say about him, as others have said. Poor takes on China, Hamas, and Ukraine. Not that these are things he should resolutely condemned for, but one has to keep in mind no one is perfect.

        I will give you $100 if you comprehensively explain any out of these “plenty negative things to say about him”, negative enough to warrant this comment, and back it up with exhaustive in-context video proof aligning with that explanation. Especially on Hamas, surely that should be so easy, he spent thousands of hours covering it in the past year alone.

        Or you can save yourself some time and just think why your knee jerk reaction directly aligns with all the right wing grifters posting “content nukes”.
