This the dog zapper guy, right?
Congrats, you fell for the smear campaign.
Haha the "smear campaign". This guy can do no wrong. It's a cult. Explain the difference between Hassan fans and Maga? They're the same. It's the same.
Remember: this the guy that said "Crimea, more like cry me a river" and that "Ukraine deserved to be invaded because they speak the same language". What a sociopathic dumbass. He really is the "Joe Rogan of the left"
You don't care though, you've been fed the most controversial clips, usually out of context, shown to get you worked up against a leftist perspective.
The dog has been picked apart to death. I don't care about it. There is mountains of evidence he shocked Kaya.
He may not be pro Russia, but his takes are so superficial and ignorant. The way he demeans the struggle of Ukrainians is also sociopathic and callous. But again, he's just a rage bait farmer. He and Joe Rogan are part of the same club. You don't like that someone is calling him out. Some day you'll grow out of Hassans dropout frat boy college takes. He's an imbecile
This sounds like one of those "filtered through an alternate reality" type accusations and I'd love to see the origin
It's not. You can watch the whole vod. There is no "missing context"
lol really cuz I’ve watched a lot of him saying straight up he doesn’t support Russian invasion of Ukraine he just also has further political analysis that’s not just “Putin is an evil commie that wants to kill every Ukrainian”. I’m not gonna link anything cuz I’m lazy today but you can’t lie to me about that shit dawg.
sidebar: I used to work in the dog grooming business, the amount of people who keep shockingly (pun intended) poor levels of care of their dogs & think it’s normal aren’t even half the standard Hasan has for that dog. That dog is pampered like old money. I can tell. You can see the health in a dog like that just by looking at it. Ppl keep doodles and huskies un-brushed in their 2nd floor / tiny ass apartments, literal dog shit all over the floor, & then say this rich dude abuses his dog 😂😂
Yes, he pivoted on Russia. His takes are still superficial. That's my point. I don't care who he supports. He's just an imbecile and speaks callously about entire people.
So if I pamper my dog, I can shock him too? What even is this logic?? Yea, rich man can pamper dog. Wow.
I don't see what people see in him tbh. He's kinda meh as a political commentator for the celebrity status he has. It's interesting how the left will circle the wagons around him like no other. But collargate did seem signal boosted.
He's accessible, I'm not into his content but I see the appeal. As for the parasociality many people have with him, it's possible he was the beginning of their radicalization. I don't know enough about Hasan to engage one way or another.
The bar is really low. I mean, Joe Rogan is also an imbecile but he has the biggest podcast in the world
No you have that mixed up. He is the anti-zionist leftist in a MAGA body that gets smeared by elite libs and fash (also libs) for his ML political views. Really good propagandist imo
He's a poser and a grifter
You're just coping that hes done more praxis and has better politics than you
I don't need to cope because I don't make my living rage baiting and pumping for Jeff Bezos.
do you mind me asking how u do make a living?
I work as an independent contractor. But I don't relish in extreme opulence, frivolous designer brand products, while espousing to speak about socialism for the common man. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Yes, we all participate in capitalism. No one compelled Hassan to buy a Porsche, or designer brand clothes. There's the necessity of participating in capitalism... Then there's Hassan and extreme opulence and decadence. The fact that you can't understand this distinction is all I need to know about Hassan followers
Oof someone's triggered. But it's definitely not a cult. Nope.
Lol try harder halfwit
Why don't you go dono 500 subs to Hassan. I hear Bezos needs a new yacht. Also, the oil changes on Hassan Porsche aren't cheap. Lmao
Bezos? You seem confused
Their (stupid) argument is that helping Hasan through twitch makes bezos wealthier. We're not allowed to make money or engage in anything owned by big capitalists even if there's no alternative or we're just helping the enemy. We should just will an independent economy into existence.
You're more than welcome to get your bread as a Marxist leninist. Hassan is on a whole other level of exploitation. But again, you guys are in a cult. Now go cry to your little Twitch streamer boy. He might have some hot superficial rage bait today, is he on yet?
Who exactly is he exploiting?
Hassan is on a whole level of opulence and capitalism spending. From jewelry to designer brands to his Porsche to million dollar Beverly hills home... I mean... Who ISN'T he exploiting haha
"Owning things is exploitative" lol cope
I don't watch him, I just think avoiding platforms owned by billionaires is impossible for everyone and it makes no sense to judge him for that
That's fair. But Hassan relishes in extreme opulence and luxury. The whole persona is a grift
