"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

Proud of him, now if he'd just read a little more he could arrive at these conclusions sooner
On a more serious note, I haven't watched the video and probably won't but I'm curious to hear if some of our more learned community members would say that Hasan is guilty of adjusting his stances simply because his audience unconsciously calls for it.
It would seem that Hasan has softened towards China (and perhaps by extension: the DPRK) only because his audience (and perhaps he himself) have become increasingly disillusioned with the chances of success for the "left" in the U.S through electoralism.
I have not watched Hasan in some years, and am not sure if this shift if in opinion of his should even be criticized, but thought I'd share my observation and seek some feedback.
The little input I can give on this subject is that Hasan's anti-fandom seems entirely sure that Hasan flips according to his audience, whereas Hasan's fandom is certain his audience is constantly being educated and enlightened by Hasan's takes. As with most things, overly positive and overly negative feelings towards Hasan are parasocial and we should only be analyzing his individual actions and their impact.
