I was the last one to incite a debate about Hasan on this site, and this was the comment that reframed my thinking positively.

hexbear-posadist We know it's the right approach because it's animated.

I also think, to maybe be more charitable to Hasan than he deserves, there's something to "some arguments should be had in left-only spaces." I love the struggle sessions here (I'm a sicko-crowd ), but part of why they're good is they happen in our space with (minimal) interaction from outsiders. He's mentioned the thing about how PSL is superior to DSA because they don't air their grievances publicly before, and in some ways there's a similar vibe. He's in a public space, so airing some esoteric left critique is counter-productive.

BTW - if Hasan ever crosses red lines on genocide, M4A, war, etc. then I think it's open season. There's some things we shouldn't ever compromise on. However, to my knowledge, he's been remarkably consistent in his anti-imperialist bona fides.
