    Fuck hasan. I’m convinced he’s some bs to steer the left away from the class war. Fuck him and fuck anyone that has anything to do with him. Rich spoiled nepo fuck.

      I mean there are many valid criticisms of Hasan, and a good handful of things I don’t like personally.

      That said, it should be understood that a blanket “fuck Hasan” statement with no elaboration does more to amplify the massive right-wing/Zionist hate mob against him than anything else.

      I have concerns and criticisms of the PRC as well, but I know better than to go around saying “fuck China they’re state capitalist!” Or something like that (not really what I believe anyway) because no matter how correct my criticisms may be, they will be appropriated by liberals and conservatives due to the rhetorical environment around me.

      If you are concerned about Hasan watchers being pulled away to electoralism, then a blanket “fuck hasan” is counterproductive in that sense too. What would be effective is to get involved with discussions and present your criticisms in proper context, otherwise you’re sort of pushing his audience away and they’ll follow him right down the pro-america electoralism train.
