Oh so if Hasan was repeatedly warned and was annoyed by those who were correct, that actually makes it better? Maybe Hasan needs to stop downplaying and ignoring and mocking the concerns from his left flank, and instead just listen to them and change his position. Then he would no longer have to keep addressing it all the time.

It's like the Israel-Cool thing, it kept coming up for years until it was resolved because left-flank criticism kept coming and springing up. Then once they fixed the issue, it went away and never came up again. Hasan could have made Platner go away and never come up again on his stream as a tense subject by just condemning Democratic Party electoralism and wipe his hands of it entirely, but he cannot do that because he is fundamentally a clinger-on to the Democrats and Bernie-Stay-Behind-Apparatus which is a multi-million dollar political machine.

    Nah, it seems you've misunderstood what I'm trying to communicate here.

    I'm just pointing out the context actually makes it worse. That this didn't just come out of nowhere to surprise Hasan who wasn't really paying attention to it. It was a hill he already planted his flag on and wanted to die on. He had already heard the correct positions, and rejected them as ultra.

    TBF there have been other liberal Zionism struggle sessions but, to my knowledge, no others over isntrael

    Most of the people who made being for/against that emoji their entire personality ended up getting banned during that struggle session, I think most of us don't really care too much about it now.

    I'm just glad I was wrong about it potentially inviting anti-Semites in, that doesn't seem to have happened. Though that could also be because being anti-Israel is much more acceptable now, so they don't need to infiltrate a niche leftist forum to spread their bullshit.
