The grift never ends and Hasan will never stop shitting on unions, communists, and anti-imperialists

For who and what purpose? Nobody knows. Wish he would tell us but that involves reading theory, which he refuses to do

    I have critiques of Hasan, like how he spends 90% of his time getting mad about shit in twitch chat when really if twitch chat is anything other than just the n word 20 times in a row it’s above average so it seems pointless to get mad at, and that his political analysis is about ankle deep and even on the bad faith pod he was just completely out of his depth, but that doesn’t really matter. I view his job as being able to introduce gamers to left wing politics using his powers of being terrible at video games and being a big hunk. I don’t think anything I’ve seen from him is anti-union anti-communist or pro-imeperialist.

      I don't expect him to do a deep dive into dialectical materialism. His utility is being on a huge platform and pointing people in the right direction (last stream I watched he had 24k viewers). Even if he's just a Bernie level politics lib that's still so much better than anything most people on that platform are being exposed to. We all didn't arrive at our political ideology by chance, there was something or someone that gave us that push. If that's Hasan for some people, so be it, welcome to the club let's make it better.

        Absolutely. His presidential debate stream had over 120k. He's a force for good.

          That's actually crazy, those are huge numbers. Chapo sitting over here with 5k views, shows you what outreach and understanding your audience can do.
