I've watched some of his and Hassan's recent debate... Dude has so much boomer internet brain worms he just gets distracted like a Labrador Retriever over completely irrelevant shit. And his political strategy just seems to be to court a moving target of voters for "for our side" as though Dems are leftist adjacent. Using 'no true leftist', 'the wokes have gone too far', crime panic, and other bullshit arguments.
Just log off dude.
Lol, yeah Cenk is a pretty gross reactionary lib. Hasan is principled and I'd say fairly middle of the road actual leftist.
If Hasan is principled why does he perpetuate the Uighur genocide myth and other anti AES positions?
Well, I wouldn’t say he perpetuates the Uighur genocide myth. He does say he thinks it’s a bit of a somewhat oppressive crackdown, but more for like security corridor stuff rather than evil Chinese machinations or whatever. So something of a middling response. On the other hand he does openly advocate about their intervention in Tibet being good, so idk. Differences in specific position on that idk.
He’s generally pretty China positive in terms of tone though when covering topics. The overall push is towards deworming the brainworms of the audience imo.
I watched his stream recently, he word for word called it a "cultural genocide"
I've never heard him say anything of the sort, pretty sure I've actually heard him say the opposite, but I may be thinking of someone else. Principled doesn't mean the correct take every time. I've felt that he tempers/avoids a lot of the Maoist 3rd worldist takes and discussion intentionally to not scare away his mostly western audience who isn't going to understand until they've studied and learned more.
You see, the brain pan of the average angloid burgerlander has space to grow around areas that are associated with empathy and critical thought. But this void does not fill in until they are taught martialist analysis. For that, Hasan is a good intro.
All jokes aside, I have a lot of faith in martialist analysis eventually leading to better understanding.
It’s not a Maoist third worldist take to dispel western warmongering propaganda about China. He has called it, word for word, “cultural genocide” which is repeating imperialist bullshit. That’s not principled it’s weak and ignorant
