I was the last one to incite a debate about Hasan on this site, and this was the comment that reframed my thinking positively.

The ultimate irony is that if you buy into the idea of hiding your power level^TM^ or the pipeline^TM^, then you pretty much need people shitting on Hasan for being a lib. Otherwise, people are going to wonder why every single vaguely communisty person and org seem to support this dude who is totally not a commie. Imagine if every single vaguely socialisty org from CPUSA to PSL to ACP all pat Hasan on the back going "he's our guy." Normal people are going to start asking reasonable questions like "is Hasan a communist?" And just like how some dude going, "I'm not a fascist. I have never said anything remotely fascist" is completely unconvincing if every single fascist loser likes the dude, no one is going to buy Hasan going "I just want free healthcare, bruh" if every single person who wants more than free healthcare gives him the thumbs up.
This is assuming you believe in the pipeline^TM^. If you don't, you can shit on Hasan for having garbage politics lol
