Cannot wait to see all the dorks talk about how this is somehow "performative".
He's going to get performatively blown up by Marco Rudio.
Real activism is showing up to vote blue no matter who every other year in a deep blue district in a deep blue state
I'm so ready to vote! I'd vote twice right now if I could!
Fraudulently voting twice in a state than already goes 70% Dem every election.
All the "problematic" leftist internet figures keep putting their money where their mouth is. Maybe there was something to this Dirtbag Left thing.
Hasan's "problematic" aspect was never really the same as a lot of others. Sometimes he does get a bit libbed up, and into the electoral spectacle of it all, but he is a news commentator. He's a got a bit of that electoral horse race special interest in him, and a bit of good natured nativity. I think some of that has stripped away over time, as he's more and more hit with the grim reality of how static the system is.
But he's always been pushing an internationalist message towards the audience, about AES and US imperialism. Drip-feeding theory and challenging some of the popular misconceptions of revolutionary figures. It's not always to the same degree as what you'd see here, but he is a propagandist. The message isn't oriented directly at people who are already communists.
So to seem him do such a big action in support of Cuba isn't surprising at all to me in the ideological sense. Though it is of course a big move in real practical terms, and I'm surprised (and happy) in that regard.

I always have to remind myself that he got started as the TYT nepo nephew, and that let's me be a bit more generous to him. He was probably the last person on that show that I imagined I would have any respect for in 10 years, but he's generally proved to be a real one (despite issues).
I've always felt he tries to push people to the left of his public position
He's been quoting Lenin too much to be a social democrat
Well not all of them, where tf is Nick Mullen?
Nick did endorse Zohran for what that's worth.
Also I think he's been pretty consistently pro-Palestine.
i was listening to TAFS maybe 2 years ago and it was just nick and somebody like soder, just having this like mentally checked out conversation about how fucked up what israel was doing to gazans.
and soder was like, "so like, Hamas, aren't they the good guys?"
and nick says, "I don't know. probably. i don't pay much attention to all that stuff. I'm more of a Hezbollah guy anyway."
i laughed so hard i almost crashed the car.
"I don't know. probably. i don't pay much attention to all that stuff. I'm more of a Hezbollah guy anyway."
Gonna make this my response whenever people ask me to condemn Hamas
"They're no PFLP but you can't argue with their love for the game."
I don't think Mullen would self-identify as dirtbag left, he'd probably dislike it. So, let's keep calling him one
Hopefully cutting wood in a cabin in the mountains like he deserves.
I knew there would be tweets like these.
Ultras 🤝 Wreckers 🤝 Liberals 🤝 Fascists
Bulwarks of the Status Quo
haha bruh is so scared of going on the flotilla that he's actually going on the flotilla lmao bruh :skull:
all the flotilla
Zionist, opinion discarded.
I hope someone explained to them that the situation has changed a bit from when Hasan said that before.
Muy bien 
Uncritical support
Turkish man good 
hey, that's my funny newsman 
what the hell we have fuwamoco emotes??
I might have some criticisms of Hasan but this is based as hell. Dirtbag left stays winning.
More of a legal question than anything but if he and any other US citizens take part in this would it constitute a violation of the US embargo of Cuba and put them at risk of imprisonment?
These flotillas are by definition illegal. They are attempts to run the blockade with civilians
The US doesn't have functional rule of law anymore, but yes, this does constitute a violation of the embargo. That's the point, actually. Most non-violent resistance that deserves to be called resistance is, in fact, completely centered around breaking unjust laws and publicly enduring the consequences of that to expose the injustice.
Isn't humanitarian aid exempt from such an embargo? This is why the Sumud Flotilla was legal, under international law (obviously won't stop the ICEraeli regime will seize the vessels anyway every time)
That is a fair question, one that I am not equiped to answer.
Well fair fucks to him
Hell yeah that's sick
Didn't they watch the nuke?
