in what context? I don't watch him so I honestly don't k ow. The only thing I've seen him put his money toward was a multi million dollar home and some sorta bougie clothes.
I'm not being facetious I really don't know.
He was the largest single donor to the Amazon Labor Union. He gave money to the anti-Israel student encampments. He did at least 2 fundraisers for Gaza aid, which raised $1 million each.
He allows strangers to monetize clips of his stream on youtube and gave youtube specific instructions to allow it.
He bought his house on a 30-year mortage and it was like $2 million in West Hollywood, which is low for that location, most of the cost of his house is the location, not the size of the house.
Something you should know about celebrities and even politicians is that they often don't buy their own clothes. Clothing companies mail free (expensive) clothing to famous people for advertising purposes. A lot of people mail Hasan a lot of free shit because they like him. He used to do a segment on stream where he would open stuff that people mailed to him.
Also he doesn't do investing, capital gains, usury, etc. He doesn't hire employees. He doesn't do wage labor value extraction.
Also all his production team is a coop of which he's part, and all his merch is made by a coop
His production is a coop right? Why would they also form a union?
Sorry, wrong word, English ain't my first language. Thanks for the correction
Is that the merch sold on Shopify?
By voting for Kamala in a state she was never going to lose, even though the PSL candidates were on the ballot?
But seriously though, I don't really mind the guy, but the breathless defense some people put up for him even here on hexbear does leave me a little puzzled.
It's a 2.71 million dollar home.
3.8k sq foot.
Five bedroom. Five and a half bath.
What is being exaggerated, really? Ill be honest, I don't really care one way or the other but its a bit much.
Multimillion and its 2.7 mil? Thats a normal family home in Cali unfortunately. I know its an accurate description of the price but the home is not big and luxurious
ITT: a lot of excuses
"I dont understand the housing nightmare in california and would prefer people stay homeless or move away rather than house themselves"
People are being kind enough to explain things to you, try to keep up
IDK this really sounds like the "you hate capitalism yet you own an iPhone? Curious" types.
Why are you spending all this effort defending daddy instead of just admitting he's a Commandist who sucks off profit from the system through his celeb status, that allows him to put himself in a moral position as well as donating to moral causes, but he doesn't actually direct anything himself and he obviously doesn't have any chance of communicating with the masses.
Like do you even think at all? What are you doing? What's the impact of someone donating 18.000 dollars to charity? what did it accomplish? Give me data of how adding an extra 0 to charity helps exactly and how much 0's need to be added for communism to be implemented. If all of us give money to charity is communism finally here?
I'm fucking done with you guys. Your government is slaughtering school girls and you're engaging in keyboard wars to defend daddy wtf is wrong with you that this is how you spend you life on. Fuck all of this. You destroyed any meaning left in the word Socialism, it mean's fucking nothing now. Fuck you.
the big house thing is really a non sequitur. socialism isn't a poverty cult, its about the relationship to the means of the production. Hasan may be rich but he isn't extracting surplus labor like a bourgeois parasite. It's the same with the lucky actors and athletes who become famous and make millions. As far as I am concerned he can do whatever he wants with his money that he earned as long as it isn't investing in exploitation
Tbf it's not just for him but also however many family members
Being a leftist means you need to live on the street, but if you do, it means you're a jealous and lazy person.
