When you don’t want your audience to think about any real issues, you pick one or two focus on them so hard that anyone watching that is the single biggest problem in the world ever.

British media: hold my ale.

Will start sending my nudes to fox journalists, got it

I’ll do my best, but as I don’t have a dog is it acceptable for me to wear the shock collar myself?

He’s a hard-left twitch streamer who does reactions on YouTube videos and current events. I find it boring as rain but he’s one of the most popular streamers on twitch.

he is the guy conservatives online will bring up whenever I try to tell them that tankies are a small minority and that most of the real left is actually just very reasonable democratic socialists

I am not a fan, really, but he does reach demographics that other leftist have trouble reaching, so I guess he belongs in the tent

He’s got a YT channel, maybe check it out & make up your own mind

Reminds me of Obama’s Reverend back in the day. They really went after him.

Champagne socialist occasional dog abuser no idea why he’s the poster boy for so many left leaning people

Fox has talked about Hasan so much that my mom tried to watch some of his videos bc she’s anti-trump so she figured if fox hated him that much maybe she should see what he has to say

She said his content is difficult to watch bc he jumps from topic to topic too quickly but she agreed with some of what he said

You’re totally right about the Streisand effect being in full force here

He’s left wing, outspoken, much better at articulating complex issues than they are, and extremely popular with young people.

Any one of those things are enough for their vilification, but the combo of all of them has them ABSOLUTELY apoplectic 😄

Viking Hippie got you but I wanted to add that Hasan rightly calls out Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

He has a large support base, particularly reaching young men that would likely have otherwise gone down the alt right/redpill pipeline. He also appeals to some of the older republican voters who watch his actual content and not just clips because the majority of the content is responding to arguments on the merit of the argument and evidence, even if his takes are sometimes questionable and there are some outrageous clippable moments. Republicans view this as someone coming in and eating their lunch.

Democrats view it as someone easily achieving the success in converting nonvoters and republicans that they wished to achieve without actually changing their policy and hate him the same, attacking anyone left of them harder than they attack republicans. In doing so they also provide more ammunition to the republicans and republican media to try and paint him negatively, sometimes leaning into outright slander and libel (e.g. purposefully taking a clip of him reading someones comment then arguing against it, but clipping just the reading part to make it seem like he thinks that)

Why were you at the cpac 🤨

That’s pretty damn reductive.

Sure, he has some tankie takes , that one being an example, but he has a lot of good ones too, about Palestine, cops, healthcare, Luigi, general anti-authoritarianism, and much more.

He’s a relatively young dude giving his opinion for FSM knows how many hours a week, so he’s bound to have a shitty take here and there.

That doesn’t mean he’s on the payroll of China, much less owes his wealth exclusively or primarily to such corrupt dealings 🙄

YOooo new schizo conspiracy theory dropped les gooooo

fun twist with the ccp mansion. A commie castle if you will. A tier schizoposting, you get a gold star from me 🎖️

it should be in the hands of the taiwanese people though; it’s not for imperialists to decide.
