I'll defend Hasan as a generally positive influence on yankee politics but I would not defend his fans nor trust them to build the vanguard

One person with influence can't build the vanguard right? You need multiple dedicated and disciplined hands. You can only buy so much discipline

Yeah word I'm following you now, still tho. Hasans net worth isn't exactly a banksworth. Assuming his position in good faith wouldn't it be fair to say taking on the American government with $8 mill (total networth) is a little ill advised? Funding revolutionaries with stated goals of changing the government is going to entail a bunch of legal and operational costs on top of paying the revolutionaries to live.

I guess I can see that he's probably the person closest to being able to do that at all, and its disappointing that he thinks so little of the process.
