Read the article before commenting pls, you're going to look like a fool if you just react to the headline.

This isn't even running defense for Hasan, I just know someone is gonna text to the headline that definitely wasn't written with Hexbear in mind. That's the whole point of me posting the article anyway, it's interesting to see how American (popular culture) media is shifting in it's depiction of prominent left wing figures.

I normally just add some text from the article to the post so people read a little and have a more complete view of it

Its interesting how some of the media is slowly talking about him in a non negative way, probably because he is too popular to ignore now

I think it also helps that he's been on "fuck Israel" for his whole career while also denouncing antisemitism, and the political commentariat has been struggling to adjust to the popular opinion shifting even in America to "fuck Israel," made worse by how Neo-Nazis have been abusing this institutional "blindspot" (refusal to stop backing an apartheid state) to have a massive platform.
