Good, he shouldn't have a platform.
The talks he's been doing pre russias invasion of Ukraine, were echoing russia's propaganda. Everyone oposing him was a "moron". NATO was the perp. His mods were actively perma-banning any pro-NATO sentiment.
He's a neutered tankie.
He is not a tankie. He constantly belittles and criticizes Russia. He simply got a prediction wrong, a lot of people like you were saying the exact same shit too: "Russia will never attack Ukraine. Russia is all talk. Russia is like Kim Jong Un, always inflating their chest about dropping nukes but never doing it. Russia is all bark, no bite. Russia will never do this or that because it's actually very weak, all their weaponry is old and broken, blah blah"
If we were to judge people like you do, that'd make you a "neutered tankie" too.
I think one of the topics that gets not much attention in American politics is the closeness of Israeli and Russian politicians and political goals.
To be fair, he has admitted that he was wrong about that.
I mean, what else could he have done? Ignore it?
He admited it in the most petty way, and only because the fact that russia actually invaded Ukraine was impossible to weasle out of, or paint it in a different light.
He's done more than you're doing right now in admitting he was wrong. You're doubling down.
What? What was I factually wrong about?
Are you an American? Because Americans have always laughed at Russia for being "all bark, no bite".
You are worse than Hasan for that, because at least Hasan is rallying people against these corrupt leaders, the elite, the rich, displaying their evil and so on, while the only thing you are doing is trying to make his job harder, which means you are protecting and helping the elite class.
I don't like the guy because he's a campist, but I don't think he should've been banned for this mild shit
I agree.
Yea people who downvote this comment must not know Hasan. Occasionally like in this case, he does say the right thing. But much more often he does not. His whole shtick is trying to say the right thing that will get him the most attention for any given situation without having any actual moral or ethical consistency. He will say anything if he thinks it will get him a follow..
The people who downvote my comment are the same who donate him money, instead of donating it to the people who actually need it.
As he presents himself as "left", there's not many personalities that the left can actually cling to.
No, we just think your goal here is to protect the elite class. I have enjoyed countless hours of his content without giving a dime. And I'd rather give my dime to someone who can actually hurt the elite class, like Hasan, rather than some hungry hobo who will be hungry again tomorrow, because I know that defeating the elite class will erase that hunger those hobos are going through everyday.
This is how the elite class wins, they convince people they have to be poor to call themselves socialist/communist. And once you're poor because you're too humble and nice, they crush and silence you way easier. Fuck off with that. It's not working anymore.
You are a simp and an asshole. Kind of aligns with what a hasan enjoyer is.
