He recently tried out streaming on YT when Twitch banned him for a few days and he donated all of the YT money to The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA). It was a total of $18,000.

The multi-million dollar home thing that his opponents like to throw around is a bit exaggerated. The man lives in LA. Homes there are astronomically more expensive than most places.

Being a leftist means you need to live on the street, but if you do, it means you're a jealous and lazy person.

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

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

The average cost for a 4k sq ft home in LA is around that much actually. He also lives with family, he's not taking up all that space on his own.

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.
