    Nobody here will get anything constructive out of watching him. He's the current main entrypoint to the cultural pipeline into some sort of left politics. He holds well short at "yeah, don't freak tf out about Russia and China all them time, let's think about this for a minute", which, no matter where you end up from that point, is a fairly good place to be for a USian viewer. Plenty have been inspired to jump in and run for local office or even just show up to Palestine protests that they otherwise would have know knowledge of without him. A lot of his fanbase is not Twitter-brained and extremely online (just very much online).

    I've been impressed as to his development since being the ultimate Bernia Bro^TM. He's followed right along with most of this site, although with a clean shift from our level of meta-twitter irony to his spot which is more being a "cable/mainstream news politics and some twitter politics" junkie. If those people watch some Hakim or even Bad Empanada (problematic, sure), they're just a hop and a skip from browsing Hexbear.

      I don't think anyone on this site will develop more as a result of watching Hasan but he is very good at communicating the information he has to the average person which is an incredibly important organizing or radicalizing skill.

      Communicating theory was something I really struggled with and watching him helped a lot with that, overall his content is mainly entertainment and it should really be approached as that with the occasional education section where he will watch someone like Hakim on stream
