It’s better if a person who for the past year has been covering Palestine for 8 hours every day to his majority western audience, with 30k listening in all the time, has raised millions for charities in Palestine like Red Crescent and UNRWA, has Palestinian journalists on his show and gives space and voice and humanizes victims of genocide is kicked off the platform and silenced so that there is no space for a similar voice at a similar scale left for those people to express those views. It’s just entertainment bro. If you disagree you’re a lib.
I can’t with these people.
@glimmer_twin@hexbear.net Media has a material impact on the world.. There is a reason Zionists want him off. Even if you disagree with him, having even one platform of anywhere near his size for Palestinian voices among a sea of zionist ones should be enough for you to realize that this is bigger than your personal feelings about him.

Leftists have historically underestimated the importance of propaganda and it's centrality to culture, we cannot afford to leave any avenue, any platform to the fascists, we need all the help we can get no matter how irrelevant, nerdy, or pedestrian we personally find it
"Parasocial" is one of those words people like to use alot, rarely in a correct way
I'm talking about the affect Hasan has on his audience and the larger political landscape and you make it sound like I'm talking about his biceps or some shit
I never watch Hasan except clips shown to me and he is without a doubt a positive impact in terms of radicalizing people on the left. Yes he's an influencer, yes he's rich, yes some of his fans can be cringe, but at the end of the day he is doing more than any of us in terms of agit prop and messaging.
Like what is the point of hating on the the most popular leftist streamer? There's so many other fake leftists and reactionaries out there.
It's not ideal but this is what mass messaging looks like in the 21st century. Should he be handing out newspapers instead?
You’ve been on here for too long for this to be a troll. You should know better by now. What don’t you get? You should have a solid grasp of theory by now, but also understand the points that @CyborgMarx@hexbear.net and I am making.
Your reply is just…distasteful. It’s disrespectful to the people who are trying to engage with you. It’s distasteful given the gravity of what we’re talking about. This isn’t a fucking joke.
No bro, don’t you get it?
