I was the last one to incite a debate about Hasan on this site, and this was the comment that reframed my thinking positively.
Maybe he is, like me, a sophist (ironic since Plato hated them, per your meme), who doesn't let beliefs get in the way of getting the job done. He's many times noted how with some hogs, certain arguments that might not be the best (e.g. we shouldn't bomb Iran because it is in the service of Israel might be more effective than we shouldn't be doing imperialism full stop). That ability to shapeshift is valuable as long as it's broadly done in the service of left principles without compromising on things like genocide.
The most policing he does is on leftists who are so detached they've lost the ability to communicate/pipeline liberals. Which, in a space like his, is acceptable. Once you're on hexbear, go fucking ham with the esoteric left critiques and struggle sessions, but when trying to pipeline liberals in your org a softer and more contingent touch is required.
