"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

At the end of the day we're all influenced by our material reality surrounding us. Me complaining about Hasan on the internet won't change his positions. I don't know why he has them, could be opportunism, could be lack of education, could be some chess move where he's intentionally putting himself in the most radical position possible, while still appealing to the masses.
His biggest issue and the issue with the pipeline of socialism in the west in general, is that they don't have any material power.
Put yourself in my shoes. I'm a disabled queer person, because of those positions in life I struggle to find employment or even a community to belong to, no matter how much theory I read does anyone honestly expect me to sacrifice my life for them, when fighting for the cause? Like what are people like me supposed to do? I'm not alone there's thousands of us, where am I supposed to direct them? I don't know.
Who approached my mother when she had enough of the beatings? No leftist, a human trafficker and I ended up living a few years in a brothel house, which nobody sincerely gives a shit about, they just talk about these problems because the news said so and it's the new spicy commodity.
I think there's like a black void that sucks up treats inside every westerner.
