I mean, you can call him a grifter if you want, but Hasan is not a patsoc. Words have meaning. There aren't 'many' patsocs; they are a weird niche group that exists mostly online. I can't think of anyone I would call a patsoc outside of Infrared/Haz and Caleb Maupin. I get the feeling that you might label someone as a patsoc for having bad politics or for bad behavior, but that doesn't necessarily make them a patsoc. It seems like you're using the term patsoc in a similar way to how liberals use 'tankie' or how chuds use 'woke'.
Aren't Rainer Shea, Jackson Hinkle, and Peter Coffin mostly online personalities, though? I do know Jackson Hinkle is a patsoc (I don't know much about the other people, so I can't talk about them).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't patsocs a completely American thing? I'm not talking about communists/socialists with regressive or somewhat reactionary views – they have existed for a long time – but the modern type that identifies with things like Maga Communism.
I'm not American, so I can't say anything about your claim that PCUSA and KFAUSA have been taken over by Patsocs, which sounds worrisome but – and don't take this personally – also a bit unlikely. I would be happy if other comrades could confirm or deny this."
