Gross response.

Here's the Bad Empanada video I finessed this title from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69BlRK9Jql0

I don't think that streaming is activism.

It isn't irl activism but when you have a platform as large as Hasan's you have a lot of power to spread propaganda and shine a spotlight on certain issues that mainstream media would otherwise ignore.

Its moreso an issue of not platforming a rabid genocidal fascist piece of shit in any way other than to humiliate them in front of a large audience.

If Hasan wasn't tearing duss a new one for being a fascist then he should just delete the video and apologize.

There is no excuse for "interviewing" a fascist who supports a genocide that your country is committing through proxy.

At the end of the conversation, he apologized to Duss in case he was too hostile. Certainly not “tearing him a new one”
