Who the fuck is Sean Hannity!? They HAVE GOT TO STOP MAKING THESE 80S TV TALKSHOW GUYS!!!
c/slop will be well fed
I am once again declaring a fatwa on criticism of Hasan.
Regardless of some valid criticisms of him that do exist, he is taking Hexbear talking points to the literal mainstream:
- “Hamas is 1000x better than the IDF, as a lesser evil voter, yes I would vote for them every time”
- “obviously Iran should have built a nuke for their own protection, this is the clear message to every country hostile to the United States based on the last several decades’ events”
- “the Chinese century is upon us, we have much to learn from them”
… And the slop troughs are going to overflow for the next several years because of it, especially because of his engagement with Democratic electoralism. In online spaces we ought to offer uncritical support so we can farm the reactionary and liberal rage.
In offline spaces, offer some support and soon enough your friends will be a bunch of hasanabi heads that you can recruit to your union/DSA/PSL/whatever chapter that you are organizing with outside of electoralism (because we are all active in our local orgs, right? Or are we just going to a book club and getting mad online?)
The Zionist/Imperial narrative is “Hasan bad” and thou shalt not lend that narrative an once of credence lest one be declared a LIB!
and then says vote blue despite his endorsees never accepting his views, thus functionally it’s nothing. all that money and attention ends up in same coffers.
do you think chomsky never said such things?*
*money fishing from epstein aside, he is at least had much clearer and educated rhetoric, and a wealth of knowledge, which we substitute for a guy yelling at tv.
Hasan Horseshoe Theory:
The right hates Hasan because he supports the Democrats. The centrists hate Hasan because he does not support the Democrats enough. The Left hates Hasan because he supports the Democrats.
He could solve this and have the left like him by not supporting the democrats whatsoever
they are institutionalizing this dem influencer at a rapid pace, seems like looming chomsky disappearance might have scared someone
There is only a single rule Chomsky had to follow to get his platform, just like all the other imperialist socialists of his ilk: decry the USSR and China as evil authoritarians no better or even worse than the US. Gabriel Rockhill laid out very clearly that this is the line. They don’t care who you vote for. They need you to think an alternative is impossible because socialism in practice is worse than capitalism. Chomsky has never wavered.
Hasan says China has an outright superior economic and democratic system. He says the collapse of the USSR was the worst tragedy of the 20th century. He is breaking the fundamental rule. He would never get institutional support unless the deep state has abandoned its most important single principle.
