I might have some criticisms of Hasan but this is based as hell. Dirtbag left stays winning.

I hope someone explained to them that the situation has changed a bit from when Hasan said that before.

All the "problematic" leftist internet figures keep putting their money where their mouth is. Maybe there was something to this Dirtbag Left thing.

Hasan's "problematic" aspect was never really the same as a lot of others. Sometimes he does get a bit libbed up, and into the electoral spectacle of it all, but he is a news commentator. He's a got a bit of that electoral horse race special interest in him, and a bit of good natured nativity. I think some of that has stripped away over time, as he's more and more hit with the grim reality of how static the system is.

But he's always been pushing an internationalist message towards the audience, about AES and US imperialism. Drip-feeding theory and challenging some of the popular misconceptions of revolutionary figures. It's not always to the same degree as what you'd see here, but he is a propagandist. The message isn't oriented directly at people who are already communists.

So to seem him do such a big action in support of Cuba isn't surprising at all to me in the ideological sense. Though it is of course a big move in real practical terms, and I'm surprised (and happy) in that regard.

I've always felt he tries to push people to the left of his public position

He's been quoting Lenin too much to be a social democrat

He has been explicit about this several times. He openly said in The Deprogram that his goal is to be the funnel of the socialist/communist pipeline.

I always have to remind myself that he got started as the TYT nepo nephew, and that let's me be a bit more generous to him. He was probably the last person on that show that I imagined I would have any respect for in 10 years, but he's generally proved to be a real one (despite issues).

Cannot wait to see all the dorks talk about how this is somehow "performative".

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 9 points 12 hours ago

I wonder if the person who told me that the recent DSA delegation to Cuba, where they brought material aid, was "Just a field trip" feels the same way about this.

Breaking an Imperialist blockade is more important than libdunking online, folks.

He's going to get performatively blown up by Marco Rudio.
