not pressuring AOC
He slammed AOC hard during her recent fuck up
he barely covers anything that the PSL does
I mean WE barely cover anything the PSL does, Hasan is not qualified to lead the third party charge, and frankly I don't hold that expectation for him
he has absolutely atrocious takes on Ukraine. in the same interview with Duss he agrees that USA is "on the right side" of the war. this past week he was also pushing the "trump and putin are gay" meme which is gross.
There we go, some actual critique with substance, I feel like I've seen a unicorn
he has weird "china is doing cultural genocide" takes. he rarely brings it up, so its not as a big deal to me like the other two points, but it also signals to me that hasan doesn't really have a coherent analysis.
He more than makes up for it with his regular China glazing videos where he showcases Chinese infrastructure to the normies he babysits
My position on Hasan is simple: He's a pipeline, he introduces baby-level leftism to lotus eating Americans who will never in a million years listen to anything people like us have to say, leftists who ignore the usefulness of Hasan or the nature of his political work strike me as whiners with unrealistic expectations for what should be considered a tool, the man is a tool, a resource, don't worship him but also don't sit there yelling at a basic utility because it didn't help you build a rocket ship to FULL COMMUNISM
Leftists look at a pipeline, smash a spigot into it and then complain about the taste, it's not for you and the constant hunt for reasons (most of them wrong) to dismiss that resource is counter-productive
