Plenty of people can see behind the curtain. At least 50% of people don't vote at all, and a good majority don't because they don't think it matters in the slightest.

The issue at hand is organizing these disaffected people in a way that can make them affective. Hasan is so busy in his goal to move people left, but all these arguments are only good for pulling people who are already politically active, who are not a majority of the country.

Hasan isn't usually detrimental to the movements, but he is only radical in context that we are extremely fucked here in the West. It is an extremely bad sign when our most popular leading figure is a media critic.
