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.
