    Hasan is lackluster on Ukraine because he's surrounded by people who are absolutely fuckin deranged on the subject, I'm not even including the chat

    The dude was driven to tears after getting canceled for the shirts he wears lol, you think he's gonna have a bold take about American-NATO imperialism in Eastern Europe

    Lets be real, with the psychotic social pressure libs have exerted the last few months over Ukraine, he probably would get kicked off Twitch if he platformed even half of the takes we have here

    Edit: lmao of course the video above is about how Hasan isn't pro-american/Ukraine enough, why did I assume otherwise, you see you can't even play the nuance game with these shitlibs without them canceling people for not being pro Neo-Nazis

      I got temp-banned on Reddit because I was arguing with a guy who was simultaneously claiming that everything I was saying was Russian propaganda because it happened to align with Putin's claim about the USSR defeating Nazi Germany and also that Russia killing children in Ukraine is uniquely evil.

      I told him that the Americans shouldn't be taking credit for the Lend Lease program because they were ALREADY materially supporting Nazi Germany through dozens of capitalist businesses while they were busy slaughtering our European allies well before Lend Lease kicked in. He was saying that there's was no way they could have known about the Holocaust (despite Ford using slave labor from rounded up undesirables) and it was private individuals separate from the state and they weren't acting on government orders so it doesn't matter anyway.

      And I also told him about all the kids America kills with drone strikes and sanctions since he seems to care so much as to invoke them for Ukraine. Even though he used multiple death threats and told me to kill myself in 4 different creative ways while strawmanning me to death and obviously arguing in bad faith, I was the one who was banned lol.

        No.

        I dont recall him ever crying over anything recently.

        Though he was justifiably frustrated over people creating hate controversies towards him for clout. Like they would make up shit about him and then tag on their patreon at the end. While saying things such as he would be as liked as Markiplier if he was a good person. These are people with the sickle and hammer signs in their bio. Also, this is a way he has always reacted to controversy caused by breadtubers.

          Yeah I thought it was a bit silly. Plus if I was a big hunk of a man who wears gucci shirts and gets paid millions in tiny donations to slam my desk when reading bad news like some corny news anchor in cable TV, I wouldn't care about people saying my shirt was ugly or whatever.

        He wore an expensive shirt to Coachella so the radlib extended universe decided that meant he betrayed....socialism?....progressivism?.....or somethin, no one is quite sure what the point or controversy really was, aside from using the uproar as an excuse to bring up old grudges or beefs radlibs have with Hasan

        Especially over anti-socialist takes the radlibs in question made in the past that Hasan grilled them or their peer group over, it was all real transparent and pathetic, but Hasan still got emotional cause some people he thought were cool turned out to be quite opportunistic about the whole thing

    "If the Azov battalion does turn on Zelensky and try to take over, who do you think the United States will back in that situation?"

      Same, this shit is actually getting me to support Hasan now lol.

      Liberals so deranged they make near hour long videos about how Hasan is too anti imperialist, just because Hasan is stating basic facts about NATO and the USA lol.

        Libs have wanted to keep their distance from him since the "America deserved 9/11" line. With the boost in nationalism from the current war, they can cancel him for being right about things years ago

    another insufferable breadtuber. I've never been a fan of Breadtube even in its early days. Something always felt off about the community they cultivated and that was proven right with how quickly they circled around Joe Biden and the Democrats.

    Hasan is only decent on foreign policy but frequently gives ground to absolutely baseless claims about any historical enemy of the US; constantly shitting on china/russia for no reason to try to give himself legitimacy with the chuds. I dunno why he does this.

      Probably because he has children screaming at him every day about it. I respect him for having a better perspective than 'CHINA BAD' or 'USSR BAD' or 'CUBA BAD'. He's probably the first person to ever inform most of his audience about their achievements. I think his beliefs are genuine

      I think he is sometimes forced to dial back his opinions because of how often he gets into stupid controversies

      but there's no way I'm watching this video lmao

      You know how we say free speech is an illusion or is only freedom for the powerful? Like we're allowed to talk shit all day about the CIA or openly identify as leftist, because it provides no threat to anyone. Having a large audience and going against the grain of mainstream propaganda about the current American enemies is different.

      Hasan likes money and not being involved in huge controversies, or having feds show up at his house.

        yeah the feds showed up at second thought's house, if hasan expressed opinions as radical as second thought does regularly he'd be fucking hounded by them

        disappointing but understandable

      It's common among the US left. If all the english speaking news sources are on the same page, it must be true, right?

      I wouldn't say he shits on the historical USSR / China today. His take is usually china >> USA, stfu about whataboutism.

    It's such a pointless video because it's all gotcha's about a political streamer and I mean fair sure wow you really proved a twitch streamer doesn't do a good job with due diligence and is not an accurate source of information. But the closest he got to discussing what ought to be done is where he basically took it as a given that the US should be sending Ukraine weapons. If you are thinking about watching this don't, it's a waste of time. As a side I would be very curious if he is as charitable towards AES countries as he was towards Ukraine in this video.
