This guy "used to be" alt-right (i.e. a Hungarian Fascist), then it turns out he's still shit. :surprised-pika:

Original video instead of Hasan clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94_5mXsQTpA

Editing to say I really do hope that all the dunking he's getting on his YouTube posts convinces this guy to read a bit and finally understand why his fascist beliefs were bad in the first place, and why he's wrong.

    Yesterday, I had one of those conversations you hope you'll never have to have in your life. One of my friends asked me what I think about Vaush.

    I had to explain all the reasons why this guy sucks. I even linked him to the hexbear masterpost. But before he mentioned Vaush, he mentioned this guy named Adam. I didn't spend any time on Adam, but I know he also listens to Hasan so I basically told him, both of these guys are just twitch stream pretend revolutionaries who don't do a god damn thing, but at least Hasan isn't known for getting into shouting matches with well known teachers of Marxism and explaining to them why the US was justified in invading their countries. I don't listen to Hasan much at all personally, but I am glad he did this.

      on the rhetoric and theory side, Hasan's alright. the guy is a millionaire LARPer play revolutionary who will never get his hands dirty, because he never has to. but he does do al alright job explaining the news, both IRL and online shit, and is generally an ok source to get into leftism from

        He at least donates money and is outwardly not delusional about "non authoritarian communism" (ie he understands that at least to begin with the state must be strong). I just wish he'd tell his viewers to go and do something useful instead of parasocially watching him for hours a day.
