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.

Or maybe you meant Hasan is following in AOC's footsteps in some other way?

As I said, he spends some time critiquing Democratic policies but is also still trying to stay acceptable to the Democratic party overall, since that's who his audience is. Eventually he will get co-opted just like AOC did.

Hasan can't have it both ways where he's an "outsider" that gets kicked out of the Convention for saying some stuff on stream that made the DNC or Donors angry, but then also had spent all that time trying to get into the Convention in the first place so he could stream from the Convention and attract as many Democratic party hogs who wanted to watch the convention via Twitch.

What is wrong with advocating for Palestinian emancipation with other protestors outside the DNC, inside the DNC, and with the Uncommitted movement outside the DNC, and then getting kicked out for it?

The statement is pretty vague, do you have a specific example of something Hasan did or said at or outside of the DNC that you take issue with?

i take issue with him setting up interviews with AOC and hanging out with the Pod Jons and hugging them and doing networking

[-] Walk_On@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

I don’t take issue with him because he’s constantly attacking the dems, raising money for Palestine, was a guest on the Deprogram, and straight up said in a recent stream that “the revolution won’t be voted in”.

[-] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

you don't take issue with him because he's hot and your "friend"

everything else is ad hoc

What? lol

I’m not even a rabid follower of his stuff and like I said in the OP, dude’s not perfect, but he isn’t nearly as bad as people talk about.

[-] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

nobody is perfect, this isn't a morality test. That's not what's being discussed.

He's fundamentally harmful to marxism, just like almost all the other streamers are, because he spreads normalizing ideas about genocidal freaks like Democrats
