Gross response.
Here's the Bad Empanada video I finessed this title from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69BlRK9Jql0
Rare Hasan L. Why the fuck is he doubling down on this? Does Bernie really mean that much to you Hasan?

nope the hasan haters were right all along
Destiny, Vaush, Ethan Klein and Andrew Tate were right all along?
You've lost the plot
you do realize that it is possible to critize hasan from the left?
Parasocial whining and dishonest rumor-mill bullshit is not "criticism from the left"
When I see real counter-analysis and critique that doesn't arise from cultural and social media "vibes" then I'll take it seriously
my critique of hasan is very simple:
i dont know if this counts for you as parasocial whining and / or dishonest rumor-mill bullshit. i am happy to expand on my points further if necessary
edit: another minor point that i remembered is that in context of defending relaxed immigration policies, he often calls US a "nation of immigrants", which is a common liberal take (rather than recognising the US as a settler colonial state.)
He slammed AOC hard during her recent fuck up
I mean WE barely cover anything the PSL does, Hasan is not qualified to lead the third party charge, and frankly I don't hold that expectation for him
There we go, some actual critique with substance, I feel like I've seen a unicorn
He more than makes up for it with his regular China glazing videos where he showcases Chinese infrastructure to the normies he babysits
My position on Hasan is simple: He's a pipeline, he introduces baby-level leftism to lotus eating Americans who will never in a million years listen to anything people like us have to say, leftists who ignore the usefulness of Hasan or the nature of his political work strike me as whiners with unrealistic expectations for what should be considered a tool, the man is a tool, a resource, don't worship him but also don't sit there yelling at a basic utility because it didn't help you build a rocket ship to FULL COMMUNISM
Leftists look at a pipeline, smash a spigot into it and then complain about the taste, it's not for you and the constant hunt for reasons (most of them wrong) to dismiss that resource is counter-productive
i was not aware of this. i was more referring to his interviews with her that never push back on her shitty positions. from what i see he does critisise the dems a lot on stream, but still never breaks from them completely. which is what i think makes his stance aligned with DSA-right (and now the DSA is also broadly against AOC, so it makes sense why he would critique her)
that is fair. i would like him to use his platform to do it, but i also think it is unlikely
unicorn is my second name
also fair. i just personally dont like the trend of showing good infrastructure as a proxy of good politics. its not super principled. cool infrastructure is not why we support china.
on your last point, i disagree with the "hasan is a pipeline for baby leftists". i know im in the minority on this one, but ive only really heard anecdotal evidence which seems more like survivors bias (ergo, evidence only from people who "went through the pipeline"). i know way way way more people who became principled leftist organisers for other reasons than political streamers or youtubers. which is why "he is a pipeline" argument seems to me as an excuse for bad politics really. my logic to criticising hasan is the same as for any public figure who positions themself as left / socialist.
While it may seem strange to you or me, the dude really does have a hilariously radicalizing effect on certain people, his TikToks are further proof of this, and while I disagree with him on his "grading on a curve" idea concerning politicians, I ironically enough do hold to the idea of grading on a curve when it comes to pipelines and entertainers, otherwise we leftists would never have any fun

You Hasan lovers are the ones with parasocial attachments that make you defend Soc Dem bullshit and imperialism
I don't even watch him, frankly his style and niceness annoys me, but I know his uses and i know the difference between good faith criticism and bullshit contrarian nonsense
the youtube guy deculturation has principled criticism of hasan from the left.
This website isn’t ready for deculturation yet, especially anyone who still has attachments to Democratic Party politicians
hmm. did anyone post his discussion with FD? that was pretty constructive and i wish other people would sit and take critique like that.
He did, I just feel like he’s pretty critical on his live streams in a way the people bristling at this Hasan critique would not appreciate.
Regardless, if you can handle decolonialism, check out this dudes channel

Hasan is a huge part of the western left now, like it or not nobody would call himself a leftist and a "Hasan hater" at the same time and be taken seriously or without serious questions. Self identifying with the "haters" is an obvious bait flag imo.
If you don't want to be misunderstood why not clarify the criticism? Fuck Hasan he doesn't deserve uncritical support, but people are definitely not realizing how close they are to repeating the same talking points as his enemies imo.
im not sure what you mean. since when is not hating a media figure a pre-requisite for being leftist?
i did do that in another comment
I'm talking about Hasan haters on this website. Who are objectively correct.
You can't even defend Hasan on his own merits, cause you know he's just a succ dem lib. So you drag in AES nations you don't live in to an unrelated discussion. Fucking weirdo, you need to remove the beam from thine own eye before you criticize anybody else, you lived in the most failed countries in existence in terms of the left you are in no place to offer advice to anyone. You need to clean up your own act by purging yourself of all these soc dem proclivities and parasocial entertainment attachments within the western left.
indictable offence
Hmm I wonder why the western left sucks? Couldn't be because it's "thought leaders" are a bunch of wikipedia reading radlibs
Holy shit
Oh, I'm sorry I thought we were talking about haters with actual relevance and not random twitter ex-berniecrat lefties whining about electoralism to an audience of......no one
How foolish of me to assume some level of seriousness when concerning this site's knee-jerk freakouts about Hasan
We are on a website talking about the discourse on this website. Why are you bringing in unrelated things like Twitter or Vaush?
You literally said "Hasan's haters" without any clarification
It's not my fault you forgot ALL his top ten haters are right-wing pedos
Reddit moment
Now that's just projection
Also go check out reddit's opinions on Hasan, you guys would be in fine company
lmao
No I'm talking about the haters on the left.
Just because someone's enemies suck doesn't make them good. Trump and his MAGA people hate AOC. That doesn't make AOC good.
