Granted I know next to nothing about our handsome husbando since I don't watch him but the interview he did acknowledge how he's kind of the Joe Rogan of the left. Not sure if that's good or not.

Too bad Hasan is a big fan of Mr. Beast. I never watched streamers or anything before but saw a clip of him very recently praising Mr Beast unironically

He views China as imperialist to my knowledge. He's a socialist but he isn't very well read so he has weaknesses in viewing AES other than Cuba, and really in general ideologically

i don't think that's an accurate framing of his views on china. he pretty regularly defends xigma-male deng-smile and mao-clap unironically. there's small amounts of criticism in his coverage, but overall i'd say he's one of the few people i've seen actively combat sinophobia, such as shouting at people who are serious about social credit score shit or talking about how the most famous talk show host is a trans woman or defending chinese investments in Africa

Fair enough, thanks for correcting me

Id be interested in seeing the clip you're referring to - i would be surprised if he's a 'fan' of Mr beast but I could see him commenting on how well he's gamed the YouTube algo.

I still like the take liz-society had on Mr Beast, he's the most optimized man in the world and that makes him inherently uncanny
