normalized by palestinian journalists. existence of hasan is known by 16% of seppos, yet entity is opposed by 46%, riddle me this.

anti-iraq war protests had more coherent anti-war positions (due to being republicans-led war)

gen-z will fall where they fall pending on labor market.

i like or ambivalent that he is handsome, i just doubt he spreads socialist action theory fitting the moment or does anything differently from previous failures.

To defend Hasan, he played a large role in getting Zohran elected. Is Zohran a revolutionary Marxist-Leninist? No. But did Zohran personally get Trump to release multiple pro-Palestinian activists from prison? Yes. Those comrades would be in prison right now if it were not for Zohran and probably Hasan's endorsement of him. You you can't say he has has not done anything different than other similar fugures, that statement is materially false.

fitting the moment

I really am curious to know what your example of "fitting the moment" is. In our techno-feudal modern age, all information streams are controlled by billionaires - your message will never reach the masses unless your words remain within the limits set by those billionaires. And considering the low level of class consciousness the average American has, do you believe "revolution now" is a good message that "fits the moment?" If America has a revolution now, it will inevitably turn into a fascist revolution.

Nobody in America is even protesting the Iran war now, despite the high gas prices and lack of propaganda effort from the Trump administration. Are these the people who would support, or possibly join, a socialist revolution? I think the best we can hope for in the USA, in the short-term, is an FDR like figure ushering in a New "New Deal" era, which historically did not make America a socialist state but did lead to many other countries in the global periphery launching left-wing projects - Mexico under Cardenas nationalizing Pemex for example. Would it not be a good idea to take the Eye of Sauron off of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, etc. by electing a social democrat / democratic socialist who could enact a "Good Neighbor" 2.0 policy?
