For anyone curious, he'll be streaming on YouTube today at 11am PST
Fuck Hassan, he's so incredibly undifferentiated in his stances and opinions. And he's stanning china waaay to much....
China is flexing on the US with cheap electric cars, high speed rail, and literal cyberpunk looking cities they built in a decade. I want that shit here. I'll Stan China until the SS troops stop door knocking and we get some public transit and healthcare.
What does this even mean
that he's just another reactionary nepo baby, producing low brow bait content in a narcissistic effort to feed his own ego, presumably?
i haven't watched any of his streams, just piecing together what bits and bobs i'v been exposed to.
his entire persona is both fake and uninteresting, if your gonna be a streamer instead of getting an actual job you could atleast do something unique instead of just pretending to be relatable
So you saw out of context clips and base your opinion on that?
...
eh, i know a staged room when i see one. he's nepo baby playing a character and a lame one at that, and the dog was obviously distressed.
looks like a duck and quacks like a fuck etc.
Well, sorry to tell you this, but you are so god damn wrong for everything you said here. I too used to think like you year and a half ago, when everything I heard about Hasan was through people who hated him, including Penguinz0 whom I watch a lot. But then I tuned in, I watched him, and realized that people like you lied to me so bad. In some way, I thank you for that, because you pushed me to discover him and also see a lot of evil and ignorance around me. I probably would have never done that if I wasn't constantly bombed with negative clips and comments about him, sparking my curiosity once and for all, you know?
The only difference between you and I is that I don't speak about people I haven't at least watched and heard myself for at least a few hours. Asmongold, Ethan Klein, Andrew Tate, Trump, JD Vance, Nick Fuentes, I have watched all of them and "met" them myself to see if what people say it's true before I open my mouth and share something completely biased or wrong.
shrug
big world, lotta "influencers" most arent all that complicated and i don't see much of a reason to waste the time/effort "getting to know them". not worth it to try and keep track of everything
least we got some good memes out of the situation though
Big world, lotta influencers, yet you keep spending hours of your time doing nothing productive anyway. You can't spend even 15 minutes for each, let alone read a book.
Your life will always be the funniest meme, brother. You don't even have a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age, like 7+ children, a big home and economic stability. Instead, you cry about AAA videogames raising their price by 10 or 20 mere bucks, about RAM prices, housing and healthcare costs, you treat Steam Sales like ponds of water in a dry desert because you are broke as fuck. The fertility rate in your country is 1.5, below the recommended 2.1+; during the baby boomer era, the rate was 6.0+ in the USA, 7.0+ in Mexico. Today, both of them, along China and Japan, are below 2.1, your population is shrinking, your people are having less sex than ever, there are more and more incels suffering in silence and then putting on a mask online to make it seem like they are okay and laughing at memes attacking the people that are trying to fix these issues for your undeserving ass.
This is why everything you are going through is well-deserved. You don't try hard enough for humanity or people. So, why should people do that for you? Stay childless, stay broke, stay miserable. You deserve it for attacking the people that tried to help you. Have fun getting your first home at the young age of 54 years old, which is the average age people are getting their first home today. After you turn 30, remember that complications during pregnancies arise significantly, children come out with disabilities more often. Saying that "I don't want children" is a coping mechanism that was forced upon you through cliches in media, like showing parents getting awakened during the night, looking like zombies, all that shit we saw in cartoons and movies, they convinced you that having children is bad, and now you can't have any because the rich have all your money and are giving you the least amount possible to keep you "comfortable" and obedient.
I am glad you could at least find solace on a stupid retarded unfunny meme like a Yu Gi Oh card. I wish I was as retarded as I was when I was 12 and laughed at shit like that too again. It must be so cool to be that stupid. Stupidity and ignorance keep people happy. In the other hand, knowledge hurts, because you start seeing how broken and evil the world is, like me having to see this stupid ass comment of yours; it's like watching a chimpanzee hit itself with a hammer while laughing about it like an idiot. Nice. I am glad America is going to die, I will never understand why Hasan cares that much about saving morons like you, he should give up.
tldr
Ok, virgin. You will never have even a quarter of what the average baby boomer religious nutjob had at your age. Silent readers are more important than you too, you are just a stepping stone for me to display how stupid you are. Thank you for that, and for proving my point with this reply. We already know Americans cannot read.
I don't watch him but my wife does and I'll certainly listen in while I do other things if I'm in the same room. There's definitely people who want nothing but to tear him down and will invent scandals, but also he definitely leans into the controversy, just like how he seems to enjoy highlighting some of the worst takes by his chatters.
He's been doing this for over a decade now, and provides valuable commentary to the news coverage he's covering, and also he'll do debates & interviews with folks, encourages viewers to check out the works of certain journalists, etc.
He's addressed this before, basically stating that yes he did get his start thanks to his uncle's success with The Young Turks. He doesn't pretend that he succeeded in a vacuum based entirely on his charm/smarts/etc. and he runs his company as a coop with employee pay directly related to the company's income rather than whatever is the "industry standard"
Honestly he tends to do a better job reporting on current events and providing relevant context than [insert national cable news network here] does
Yeah probably
So you don't have anything to base your opinions on. Want something to base opinions off of? Here's him interviewing the attorney general of Minnesota after attending one of the anti-ice rallies immediately following Alex Pretti's execution or here he is interviewing prisoner firefighters in LA during the fires in early 2025
My wife happened to be watching that stream and she's dropped streamers she's watched religiously for far less than animal abuse. Literally nothing happened. You're seeing edited/manipulated clips trying to make a scandal out of nothing.
Look, Hasanabi ain't my cup of tea exactly, (I appreciate his content but I'm not going to seek it out) and I intentionally avoid getting attached to any public personality or person because all too often they end up being a piece of shit, but he's out there doing good work covering real news and educating real people on how the real world works. Until he actually does something worth dropping him, I'll keep paying attention whenever my wife watches him (and she'll probably know before me if he does something terrible or some revelations come out)
TL;DR stop spreading misinformation!
Fellow Lemming, you're wearing your stupidity on your sleeve.
Sit down. Shut up. And actually watch his streams for more than a day. Maybe you'll learn something
It's funny that the haters show up unwanted to give uneducated remarks that no one asked for.
The jealousy is on display.
Show us maos little red book again, that got us hard.
Let me show you these numbers instead. They always get me hard:
During Covid:
Which seems more responsible there? And by A LOT.
Every year, to general conflict:
Which are safer? China and Saudi Arabia.
Now, according to World Population Review, Our World Data, the UN and more regarding wealth inequality, the higher the number, the worse (Gini coefficient, 0 would mean everyone has the exact same amount of cash, so, expect it to be a minimum of 20~):
Now look at these 12 war crimes the USA has done:
Am I still supposed to believe America is good? If your goal is to make me despise it, I guess you are doing a good job then, lol. The USA is just Mexico 2.0, White Mexico as some us call it here. I am still heavily ashamed of admiring the USA for almost 20 years of my young life. I used to think it was our greatest chance, as humanity, to build a country that was diverse in culture, accepting and rich. I even cried for Bradley Cooper's character in American Sniper. I swallowed all the propaganda movies and TV shows like Marvel fed us, games like Fallout or CoD that constantly portray the Chinese and Russians as evil in a white and black way. All that, I am glad I grew out of. The American Dream never existed, it was always a nightmare. All those Mexicans' deaths are on Americans' hands, for giving the cartels the weapons and the money. Americans are their biggest consumers. They forced us to join this pointless war on drugs and so on. To be honest, everything that is happening and is going to happen to America is well-deserved. Everything they enjoy is covered in blood.
You seem pretty mixed up.
Glorify china. Glorify america. I wouldn't chose to do either.
I certainly wouldn't chose to glorify Mao.
If you want to bring china to america, thats pretty misguided. Good luck to you. It will never be a reality I have to deal with.
If there was something worth fighting for, it wouldn't be that.
Now, if you want to cause human suffering in the states, youre right on track.
I rather live in a country with a homicide rate of 0.5 than one with 5.7. Actually, I will combine USA and Mexico, because their deaths are on USA's hands. That is about a rate of 30.0, which is insane, dude. Absolutely insane that you are fighting for that.
China is coming to Mexico. We have cut so many ties with American suppliers and businesses to instead open new deals with the Chinese. All thanks to the tariffs. We will allow and help them do whatever they want near the border too. We will support them with whatever they need to remove this lousy neighbor we have upstairs, and there will be nothing Americans can do about that without looking like Nazi Germany.
It is thanks to people like you that keep the American Dream alive in the heads of centrists and MAGAs that Mexican Cartels, Russians, Chinese, Arabs, Indians, Africans and some Europeans are sending thousands of their people into America all thanks to Trump's Gold Cards. As that Russian General, Nikita Khrushchev once said: "We do not have to invade the United States, we will make it ours from within" and also "You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until you'll fall like overripe fruit into our hands." They were NOT joking at all. They nailed it so well.
How much money have you donated to promising candidates' campaigns in your life? Less than 10,000$? That will never make an impact. We have an unfathomable amount of money, governments and cartels do, and we will use it to get our own politicians elected in every single State. We will force you to choose between politician A which appeals to empathy, or politician B which appeals to sympathy, and sometimes apathy too because Americans are mentally ill, rabid and violent. You don't even have a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age, like 7+ children (in Mexico, in the USA the Fertility Rate was 6.0+), a big home for them, economics stability... No, instead, you keep crying about AAA videogames raising their price 10 or 20 mere bucks, about housing and healthcare costs, about RAM prices... You treat Steam Sales like ponds of water in a dry desert. You celebrate and feel genuine joy when you buy an indie game at a discount, from 15 dollars down to 10, because you are so fucking broke. People are getting their first home at an average of 54 years old today. The fertility rate in the USA, Mexico, China, Japan and more are below 2.1, which means the population is shrinking, people cannot afford to have a family of at least 3 children as they should, but at least China has 1.4 billion people already, they probably don't need more right now, you in the other hand, you will, especially thanks to ICE. More and more people are lonely, don't have a partner, have never had sex, have never experienced real genuine love, the warmth of a partner around your arms while you slide your hand under their underwear and have fun at the privacy of your own home. After people turn 30, the chances of having problems with pregnancies arise significantly, children come out with disabilities more often. The clock is ticking, and you are still using your time to try and convince people that China is worse or "equally bad" as the USA, so that people never get to see what they could be doing better themselves. You don't need to invite China in, you just have to grab what works for them and apply it yourselves, but you won't do that, because as I said, Americans are mentally ill. You see outsiders as enemies, as irredeemable demons you should never associate yourself with. You don't learn other languages nor read books or a long post like this one because you think you are the center of the world, the smartest, the best, and that everyone should be sucking your dick, while in fact you have always been this monster. I mean, last night I saw that post that said there was a village called Seneca Village, a thriving black community your racist ass politicians demolished and erased from existence to build your famous Central Park out of spite. I investigated a little further and found out that you've done that to so many black communities around the country. Even the White House was built by black slaves. You have always been this disgusting racist evil monster that only cares about itself, money, and power. You did NOT join WWII to save the Jews or because you felt bad for them, you did it because you didn't want Germany to become more powerful than you. You are not a savior, you only cause death and destruction everywhere you go. It was about time you elected Trump and removed the mask completely. Trump has been the best thing that has happened to American Haters and also American Patriots, because there is now no excuses left. You either fix the country, or die with it, and it seems it's going to be the latter looking at how weakened and inactive Americans are. It's over, dude. Just, sit down and enjoy your movies, your videogames, your TV shows until time catches up, because there is absolutely nothing else you can do about this. Soon, it's going to be Trump Jr. the one who will run for the presidency, and he will win. And then his son, and the son of his son and so on...
Is that what you are fighting for? How are you going to fight like that? Are you going to keep people dreaming about what the "American Dream" should be like? You are the one causing more human suffering than I am. At least I have the balls to say these things that should help you if you know how to use it. You will keep telling people that China is worse than America, China is worse than America, China is worse than America, so they never ever look at what the other side of the world looks like. Keep them in their ignorance. Do not let them learn from others. That's your goal and your mission here, to serve the oligarchs, to serve the interests of capitalists. This is why they made you hate China this bad, so that you keep rooting for that homicidal rate of 30.0+, for that Gini coefficient of 41.8. You are doing a great job at destroying America from within. People who hate America like me love people like you so much. Keep telling people that China is worse, please. I can't wait to see America die, all thanks to people like you and your endless loyalty and support to us.
You could instead convince people that there are countries more powerful than theirs doing better, instead of feeding their ego and keeping them blind. I dislike so many things about the CCP myself, they are not perfect, but compared to America... Oh boy. You should be taking notes from them, not dismiss them like you constantly do. Otherwise, you will never get rid of billionaires or the elite class, and therefor you are fighting for absolutely nothing but keeping the world as it currently is. The fact is that you NEED socialism and communism to make a better world. An unchecked capitalism is destroying us. Stop trying to pretend that you can fix it. You will need communist and socialist policies to do that.
You got the wrong person. Its scary how irrational you are.
No, dude, I am talking to you. You are the one causing more human suffering than I am by keeping people in ignorance. People who hate America love people like you. Keep demonizing China, keep people away from learning what they could be doing better. To me, it won't matter if you win or lose, because I hate America so much for all the innocent deaths and economic instability they have caused in my country, but I also still love it because I love humankind. The world would be so boring and detrimental if it was perfect. So, whether you win or not, it will not make a difference anymore.
Keep calling me irrational, doing that will just keep helping the elite class. The people that are currently hurting you all. After all, everything I said about you not having even a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age, like 7+ children, a big home or economic stability, is a lie, no? Or is it because the reply is so long, and for people with small brains, long text = irrational, long text = schizo, long text = he's mad, long text = me too lazy to read, my two neurons can't keep up. You sound like a MAGA, dude. They all reply just like you do, without dismantling anything, only insulting or trying to make themselves sound calm and normal. You should be angrier if you truly cared about humanity or your country, but it's clear you don't.
I wont work myself over someone who is so emotionally unstable.
Weak. People who hate America love people like you. Thank you for this.
Youre not saying anything. Its cliche
That's not up to you to decide, it's up to the silent readers. Keep replying like MAGA people do, though. Short, empty hollow insults, without ever dismantling anything I said with logic or common sense, because obviously, you can't. It was people like you that led me to Hasan and made me watch him and like him. It's also people like you that made me hate America the most. Keep it up!
You know nothing about maga. Hasan didn't save you. You care nothing about america and you are dead set demonstrating it.
MAGA is destroying America from within. Mexican Cartels paid so much money to get Trump elected along Russians. Now, thanks to Trump's Gold Cards, Mexicans, Russians, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Africans and some Europeans are sending thousands of their people into America and soon we will elect our own politicians in every single State. You don't even have a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age, like 7+ children, a big home and economic stability. There is no way for you to fund the campaign of a promising candidate, but we can. We will force you to elect politician A or politician B, both selected by us, and there will be absolutely nothing you can do about it, because morons like you are helping us relentlessly by attacking the few voices that are trying to help you, like Hasan.
Thank you for that. Keep it up, I mean it.
... omg you finally got through to me! I cant have 7+ children! Omg this is devastating. To think my house, I cant even own it. America has fallen and it was the work of mexican cartels.

Edit: The sad part is, I know you do win people over with this shit and its so pathetic.
