    Fuckin redditors, why are they like this

    I’m not even a fan of this Hasan guy, but the like ~30 minutes in total I’ve seen of the content he makes clearly demonstrated that he’s sooo much better than any of these absolute freaks.

      Nobody here will get anything constructive out of watching him. He’s the current main entrypoint to the cultural pipeline into some sort of left politics. He holds well short at “yeah, don’t freak tf out about Russia and China all them time, let’s think about this for a minute”, which, no matter where you end up from that point, is a fairly good place to be for a USian viewer. Plenty have been inspired to jump in and run for local office or even just show up to Palestine protests that they otherwise would have know knowledge of without him. A lot of his fanbase is not Twitter-brained and extremely online (just very much online).

      I’ve been impressed as to his development since being the ultimate Bernia Bro^TM. He’s followed right along with most of this site, although with a clean shift from our level of meta-twitter irony to his spot which is more being a “cable/mainstream news politics and some twitter politics” junkie. If those people watch some Hakim or even Bad Empanada (problematic, sure), they’re just a hop and a skip from browsing Hexbear.

      • I don’t think anyone on this site will develop more as a result of watching Hasan but he is very good at communicating the information he has to the average person which is an incredibly important organizing or radicalizing skill.

        Communicating theory was something I really struggled with and watching him helped a lot with that, overall his content is mainly entertainment and it should really be approached as that with the occasional education section where he will watch someone like Hakim on stream

    Hasan is a textbook example of someone who […] believes […] he is somehow entitled to mitigate the suffering of other peoples.

    Does this redditor not know what mitigate means but thought it sounded like an epic bacon reddit word and used it anyway, or are they actually saying having empathy and helping others is something you are not allowed to do if they are “other peoples”? Am I the one being confused here?

    Those guys got really mad when I said TikTok and Douyin aren’t pushing anti-USA content even though they should. Libs think China is a lot more aggressive than it actually is.

      It’s so funny that even some of the least pro-China on this board :side-eye-monkey: could blow out the Chinese government themselves in producing propaganda. They don’t even try.

    views the Baltic and Polish people as meat shields for Western Europe

    To be fair, this is a point of view shared and very often consciously, by every Polish government since 1989

      Yeah, it’s either enemies to the east with the libs, or enemies on both sides with the fash. Either way, Poland is an eternal martyr that has to prepare itself to fight at any moment.

      Amazingly brainwormed country, I love nationalism.

        I remember PM Cyrankiewicz having a Cassandra-Stalin moment and saying that for once we are in alliance with the people of both Russia and Germany but if socialism would be gone we would immediately be dependant on Germany and enemies with Russia. And lo and behold. No wonder current historical revisionists hate him so much they stole his heroic stance during WW2 and put it on a fash like Pilecki.

    hasan is legitimately and prejudiced and racist and towards eastern europeans (and particlarly poles), and views the baltic and polish people and as meat sheilds and for wester europe, and calls for “and nazi nato” and to and be and dismantled and
