Why does he need to be defended? Does he actually contribute to the issues he is concerned with in any way that doesn't also benefit his brand? How would any streamer, regardless of their professed politics, be worth anything to a revolutionary process? Why is he not a mere spectacle?

I personally don't think people should defend his poor behaviour and that the "online left" collectively deciding to hitch their bandwagon to Hasan years ago was a bad decision, but that's just my opinion. Most people on the online left disagree with me on that one.

I'll never watch a twitch politics steamer, sorry. Pretty much all of them always seem to double down when proven wrong or caught up in any controversy, when apologising would go a long way. Since when has apologising become a bad thing/negative/weak? Admitting fault and moving on is an important part of maturing. All these streamers seem like 30+ year old people acting like kids.

Idk anything about twitch stuff really but i have heard of the guy. Im curious. What bad behavior are you referring to? I thought all he did was sit in his room and talk over CNN videos and stuff.

Unfortunately, most of this "bad behavior" comes second-third hand from clipped out of context videos from the Destiny hate brigades

All the major anti-Hasan talking points can traced back to nonsense started by Vaush or Destiny as revenge for Hasan eclipsing them five years ago

For example one fake scandal involved Hasan supposedly visiting a German brothel in 2011 that was raided by feds for sex-trafficking, it was make believe, the brothel was the victim of police harassment and successfully sued, the raid took place years after Hasan visited, and he expressed mild embarrassment for going when he was 19

But destiny bots and vasuh cultists blew it up beyond proportions and lied, so Hasan is still persona non grata in some liberal radfem circles, because "he's a sex trafficker"

Leftists and liberals alike construct their own version of Hasan through hostile second hand sources and years later refuse to adjust their view, even while Hasan becomes one of the most prominent leftists in America

Oh ok so reactionary nonsense. That is what i expected of something involving western influencers. Thanks for letting me know.
