Pretty sure dude is a leftist. Capitalist media has never encountered this before.
Borderline tankie. Remember him being best buds with putin before russia attacked Ukraine? Dude probably still blames NATO for that.
I can't find any evidence for this? I only found a source of him saying Putin wouldn't invade Ukraine.
I don't care enough to sift through millions of hasan clips from 3 years ago to provide one person source.
I used to watch him before the invasion. But when he started banning pro-NATO people from his chat, and saying that putin is just being defensive, because of NATO's imperialistic nature.
Dude's an american idiot.
Saying Russia's rationale is supported by evidence like the NATO chief saying that and lots of other "non pro Russia" leaders. Just because it's a "banned" opinion in mainstream (not political correct) doesn't make it false, or make one a tankie, or pro-Russia.
The problem is if you do not accept different viewpoints there is no space for negotiations or peace agreements, only questionable and bloody victory. And that little trick is the real 1984 for me, not the shit MAGA is pulling off. The entire mainstream and "left" have swallowed this narrative and attack anyone with different opinions with personal attacks, even if they have clear evidence supporting their opinions.
Ah yes, the good ol' "stop resisting". A true classic among you folk.

Here's a summary in a meme format.
Oh I knew about Hasan saying Russia wouldn't attack Ukraine. I mean I don't know where the being best buds with Putin came from.
The saying "wouldn't attack" isn't my main gripe. It's the constant blaming of NATO for the conflict. Which is word-for-word out of putin's playbook.
Also, there were plenty of terms of endearment from hasan. It was never "putin bad" before the invasion. It was "putin smart, NATO bad".
I don't have any more sources for you, you can believe what you please. I don't give a rat's ass about the dickhead, and I'd like to stop talking about him right now.
Even if he is a dickhead, this kind of thought policing by border security is bad for all of us.
100% agree.
But I have changed my mind after reading further about the things he has said. He deserves extra scrutiny.
Am not going to delete my comment because Lemmy is all about civil disagreement, even if it is with myself 😁
Elsewhere in these comments, the mod just disagreed with me. On Reddit WorldNews I was banned for less.
This is the reason I am extremely cautious with anyone of this ilk. There seems to be too many people who happen to be leftist. Socialist. Whatever. And then out of nowhere.. whitewashing of putin/russia/soviets. .. because america / nato / West bad.
Which I won't abide for. Ever
"this ilk" go back to reading the silmarillion like the nerd you are
Wow. Vocabulary shaming. This is pure Anti-intellectualism. Shame.
Authoritarians love anti-intellectualism
what the fuck
