    Hasan is only decent on foreign policy but frequently gives ground to absolutely baseless claims about any historical enemy of the US; constantly shitting on china/russia for no reason to try to give himself legitimacy with the chuds. I dunno why he does this.

      Probably because he has children screaming at him every day about it. I respect him for having a better perspective than 'CHINA BAD' or 'USSR BAD' or 'CUBA BAD'. He's probably the first person to ever inform most of his audience about their achievements. I think his beliefs are genuine

      I think he is sometimes forced to dial back his opinions because of how often he gets into stupid controversies

      but there's no way I'm watching this video lmao

      You know how we say free speech is an illusion or is only freedom for the powerful? Like we're allowed to talk shit all day about the CIA or openly identify as leftist, because it provides no threat to anyone. Having a large audience and going against the grain of mainstream propaganda about the current American enemies is different.

      Hasan likes money and not being involved in huge controversies, or having feds show up at his house.

        yeah the feds showed up at second thought's house, if hasan expressed opinions as radical as second thought does regularly he'd be fucking hounded by them

        disappointing but understandable

      It's common among the US left. If all the english speaking news sources are on the same page, it must be true, right?

      I wouldn't say he shits on the historical USSR / China today. His take is usually china >> USA, stfu about whataboutism.
