Dude just loves riling himself up into a frenzy, doesn’t he? I guess he was mad that Hasan was going to interview Obama, which never even happened, and now he thinks Hasan is a “genocide supporter” because a random YouTube clip he came across that said “Hasan supports Kamala’s policies”, which he never even watched and was most likely just clipped. Hasan isn’t perfect, but fuck, you think at least him going to the DNC as a journalist would be considered fair from BE. Wild.
we’re never going to have an online radicalization pipeline
all I will say regarding this is that my brother started watching Hasan a year ago and he’s gone from a biden supporter to a kamala-despising communist, so if Hasan’s role is funnelling disaffected people back into liberalism, anecdotally, he’s very much failing at that
This is the reason I am in general fine with whatever Hasan’s shenanigans are. Honestly my biggest reason that I do not hate his nepo-baby existence is because he is the anti-Vaush, whereas Vaush’s pipeline is anarchist to natoist, Hasan’s is clearly democrat to communist.
It’s all still very fucking stupid and I wish the kids would get their politics elsewhere, from like actual lived experiences, but I will settle.
I just wish people could sit down and read, for their own sake. I’m guilty of doing very little reading myself (only read a couple modern theory books and 2 Marx and Lenin books lol) but the fact that everything complex has to get simplified into videos and clips just makes it incredibly hard to transmit a whole different worldview.

Could you expand on this?

Hasan repeatedly shutting down anti-“tankie” rhetoric is the source of this.
Everyone that either silently allows that shit or vocally supports it funnels people back into the dems.
Everyone that does not allow that shit funnels people into further radicalisation.
It’s that simple.
Hasan has lib moments but he’s good on >90% of issues. He has a massive audience to which he spreads leftist ideas, like it’s honestly so lucky that one of the biggest streamers on twitch is pro-China and singlehandedly normalizing Xi chad memes on the platform. He also reaches a lot of non-political people thanks to being friends with people like Ludwig, Valkyrae or pokimane, introducing them and their audiences to expressly political figures like Felix Biedermann and Brace Belden.
Good luck starting the revolution by hissing at everyone who doesn’t already agree with you.
Has Hasan ever been on The Deprogram or interacted with that group? That would be a great collab for pulling him and his audience further left.
Yes! It’s actually their most watched YouTube upload.

I once visited a bank, I’m now a capitalist.
Influencer mad at another Influencer. Very expected
Dialectical materialism is me wanting to shit on Hasan for being a sheepdog millionaire living in a mansion vs me wanting to shit on BadEmpanada for being a deranged sexpat gringo holed up in Argentina
