Rare Hasan L. Why the fuck is he doubling down on this? Does Bernie really mean that much to you Hasan?

Rare Hasan L. Why the fuck is he doubling down on this? Does Bernie really mean that much to you Hasan?
He slammed AOC hard during her recent fuck up
I mean WE barely cover anything the PSL does, Hasan is not qualified to lead the third party charge, and frankly I don’t hold that expectation for him
There we go, some actual critique with substance, I feel like I’ve seen a unicorn
He more than makes up for it with his regular China glazing videos where he showcases Chinese infrastructure to the normies he babysits
My position on Hasan is simple: He’s a pipeline, he introduces baby-level leftism to lotus eating Americans who will never in a million years listen to anything people like us have to say, leftists who ignore the usefulness of Hasan or the nature of his political work strike me as whiners with unrealistic expectations for what should be considered a tool, the man is a tool, a resource, don’t worship him but also don’t sit there yelling at a basic utility because it didn’t help you build a rocket ship to FULL COMMUNISM
Leftists look at a pipeline, smash a spigot into it and then complain about the taste, it’s not for you and the constant hunt for reasons (most of them wrong) to dismiss that resource is counter-productive
i was not aware of this. i was more referring to his interviews with her that never push back on her shitty positions. from what i see he does critisise the dems a lot on stream, but still never breaks from them completely. which is what i think makes his stance aligned with DSA-right (and now the DSA is also broadly against AOC, so it makes sense why he would critique her)
that is fair. i would like him to use his platform to do it, but i also think it is unlikely
unicorn is my second name
also fair. i just personally dont like the trend of showing good infrastructure as a proxy of good politics. its not super principled. cool infrastructure is not why we support china.
on your last point, i disagree with the “hasan is a pipeline for baby leftists”. i know im in the minority on this one, but ive only really heard anecdotal evidence which seems more like survivors bias (ergo, evidence only from people who “went through the pipeline”). i know way way way more people who became principled leftist organisers for other reasons than political streamers or youtubers. which is why “he is a pipeline” argument seems to me as an excuse for bad politics really. my logic to criticising hasan is the same as for any public figure who positions themself as left / socialist.
While it may seem strange to you or me, the dude really does have a hilariously radicalizing effect on certain people, his TikToks are further proof of this, and while I disagree with him on his “grading on a curve” idea concerning politicians, I ironically enough do hold to the idea of grading on a curve when it comes to pipelines and entertainers, otherwise we leftists would never have any fun
