    I think that's fair and I watched Hasan every now and then, but I couldn't stand his election coverage because his analysis of how the left should operate following the election is so strange. I understand that he can't promote violence (although I am unsure of whether or not that would include theory or at least name dropping marxists.org), but saying things like "it would be fair to compare [Hitler] to Stalin" and arguing for socialism and social services on the basis of patriotism in a settler colonialist nation is just misinformation. I still prefer him to someone on his right, but I just hope that his audience will be able to properly complete the pipeline, especially given the nature of twitch and the content they consume.

    I thought the same as well, but watching some of his election content I came to the conclusion that he promotes opportunism. While I am glad that he is a leftist voice in a community that tends to seep with conservatism, the way he presents information to his audience is often counter-revolutionary, idealistic, or just slanderous. I remember him stating that a goal of his stream was to serve as a conduit for radicalization that mirrors reactionaries on the platform, but I worry that he either concedes too much to this cause or he is just another radlib voice on the internet.
