presses shock collar button

The controversy over his public presence (both real and contrived) has convinced me that if you want to be any kind of serious public figure you should never-ever-ever put anything off-hand in text or on video. Let alone stream yourself for hours at a time.

Take some time to compile your thoughts and don't just spit out hot takes. It'll get you attention for sure, but it's not worth the scrutiny and drama hunting. For real, look at the people in this thread latched onto a single clip of a dog yelping weeks (months?) ago. Is that such a core and defining feature that I should completely discredit him? Doesn't seem like it, but I also don't want to dig through hours of content to find out.

I have seen newspapers talk about him a lot more in the last year or so.

Personally I just don't like Hasan. Call me a twitchy autist but something about him sets off my dislike button. May just be his personality being basically the opposite of what I like in general but still me don't like.

The neat thing about Hasan is that his hate machine has to resort to manufacturing controversy about him.

This man is so annoying. I don't want to see him or his stupid turtlenecks anymore.

🤮

Most of the time lefties I speak with agree with Hasans analysis whether they know it or not..

I have been watching Hasan for many years and enjoy his content, but am aware that there are lefties that don't like him. But that's fine.. When it comes to spreading stories/issues/topics, what's important to talk about are the stories/issues/topics themselves. Hasan doesn't need to be involved in the conversation at all (I believe Hasan has even said this himself).

Yes I find his analysis usually correct and his personality entertaining (not 100% of the time), but I can still talk about the topics covered with friends and family without mentioning Hasan. He's just one of many ways to receive the news.

Hasan is doing important work.

He is based and a great antagonist to the right-wing dominated streaming landscape.

He's a content grifting nepo baby.
