Opportunist can also mean those who sacrifice long-term gains or principles to gain short-term gains, an example would be Bernstein.

Well that makes more sense to me. Again, wasn't sure what definition you were using.

I apologize if I seem mad, it’s just crazy to think there is still an argument when he himself will admit revisionist tendencies- and openly too.

The problem is, and this is something I thought about mentioning in response to Red_Scare saying "I shouldn’t have said anything, I know nothing about internet personalities" as a way of being understanding about it: people like Hasan stream for hours on a regular basis. It's genuinely hard to keep up with what exactly they are doing and profile them accurately unless they say or do super obvious problematic stuff that's easy to point to and is impossible to argue as meaning anything else in context.

Like part of why I've been careful in how I chime in here is because even though I've watched some recordings of him at various times, it's a drop in the bucket next to the entire picture of it. So maybe I'm being way too forgiving on account of not having seen enough, or not watching the right moments to pick up on what you're picking up on. I may have seen other facets of him and got a picture that would cause me to have a higher opinion of him.

For example, I know from things I have seen that he does have people who will take what he says out of context and there are times he's gone to great lengths to address misrepresentations (like literally hours of going over stuff, which is kind of absurd to me). This does not mean you're wrong about him, but it's one of the reasons I am perhaps more wary of painting him in a way that I would consider means we should be outright recommending people avoid him.

The content form of it also makes it hard to break down what these kind of people are saying in detail and do responses to it from a more ML perspective. We can link a NYT article here and do a response in the process that goes over its reactionary, colonizer nonsense. It's hard to do that with somebody who's going on for hours.

I honestly don't know what to do about this from a logistical perspective other than telling people "be wary of streamers".
