    In the video, Hasan already became the dad who stepped up. Also this is the second babymama that he interviewed; the first was Grimes in 2022. Hasan also interviewed Vivian Wilson last year, who is Elon’s daughter.

    The interview was pretty good. She leaked Elon Musks text messages. She leaked info on Congress member Anna Paulina Luna and Laura Loomer. She said that she was responsible for Elon wearing the black “Dark Maga” hat.

    In January of this year, Ashley St Clair issued a public apology to transgender people, for the past harm that she caused to the transgender community. Does this mean she is a good person now? No. Do transgender people have to accept the apology? No. I think it does show that she is trying to change. I don’t see any possible ulterior motive why she would have issued this apology.

    Ashley St Clair has also been bullying Elon Musk for not being accepting towards his transgender daughter. In January, Elon threatened to seek full custody of their child because Ashley said she supports transgender people.

        I specified that in the last sentence of the comment. I heard Vivian Wilson say in interviews that she doesn’t like being introduced as only Elon’s estranged transgender daughter, like as if she is a side character in Elon’s story. She’s like a theater kid who likes runaway modeling and vogue dancing. She posts on tiktok and bluesky. She considers herself to be leftist but also said she “hates tankies”; hopefully she’ll mature beyond that. She also talks about a bunch of nerdy shit like learning to speak in some fictional language.

        I feel like it would be redundant to specify that Vivian is transgender in every sentence. Transgender women are women. A transgender daughter is a daughter. I wouldn’t always refer to a cis woman as “cis woman”.

        Sorry if my comment was written in a confusing way. Since January, Ashley St Clair has criticized Elon Musk for being transphobic to Vivian Wilson. Ashley St Clair tweeted “I feel immense guilt for my role. And even more guilt that things I have said in the past may have caused my son’s sister more pain. Idrk how to make amends for many of these things but I have been trying incredibly hard privately to learn + advocate for those within the trans community that I’ve hurt.” I can’t prove that Ashley is being sincere. I don’t know whether Ashley and Vivian have communicated.

    She came prepared. As soon as he started digging too far into her exes, she pulled out the “Father’s Day” gift bag to instantly give chat a tidal wave of speculation.

    She might be able to play “dumb and impressionable” but it’s clear she knows what she’s doing, and has a very well-developed skill of controlling a narrative.

              I’ve gathered that Hasan is either somewhat lib-leaning or is somehow else not a very good example of leftist ideology but I’ve never listened to any of his stuff so can’t judge for myself. I’d consider the recommendation of someone within the hexbear community to be more reliable than my disorganized and uncategorized impressions, do you consider Hasan a valuable voice?

                  he’s trying to do schrodinger’s entryism, and speaks electoralism when he’s talking about elections. That’s how you get support for the blackwater mercenary and nazi tattoo guy, which is among his biggest Ls.

                Echoing what TheFinalCapitalist said, Hasan is for left liberals and progressives begining their journey towards becoming communists. He is acutely aware of his role in this capacity and therefore his message is tailored as such. He isn’t perfect and has his share of bad takes, but he is ultimately a very valuable piece of the pipeline pushing people leftward and encouraging them to organize IRL via unionizing and getting involved with orgs like the DSA and PSL. If you’re already on Lemmygrad/Hexbear, you probably don’t have anything to learn from him. You may or may not like his content as commentary or entertainment, it’s certainly not for everyone.

                  this is overstating it a bit, it’s kind of unfalsifiable because it’s not like we can accurately poll organizers, and it would be even more impossible to know if hasan is a driving factor behind someone becoming and remaining a radlib instead of going further left. A big emerging thing though is he’s starting to use his stream to try and help move elections so that is something to keep an eye on. I think it’s fair to say he’s a relatively harmless source of entertainment and it’s unlikely he’s doing any significant harm to the movement, but I hesitate to say with certainty that he is a very valuable piece of a pipeline im not actually sure is meaningful.

                hes ok for what he is, a twitch streamer that has amassed a rather large audience. his good takes outnumber his bad takes, and does work with other leftist creators. considering youre here in the gradbear universe you probably have very little to gain from interacting with his content

                No one has ever shown me a bad take of his. I am sure he has some. He is in my mind a perfectly fine communist. He is also a gamer. The way I see it the gamer identity is more core to him than the comunist one. So all of us find him having the opposite polarity of autism infuriating. Especially cause he is hot rich and popular. It galls the sensibilities to have him looks maxx successfully
