I don’t really know anything about him, I don’t watch twitch streamers or keep up with their drama. I only thought about looking into him after the cracker thing and I can’t tell if he’s a genuine leftist or not. (Also sorry if this is the wrong comm for this question)
I’m a fan. His show is entertaining and accessible. I think trying to squint and determine if a YouTube personality is an “actual leftist” or not is kind of pointless.
He makes good left wing content. It’s nice to listen to in the background if you have a desk job. Enjoy it for what it is!
Hasan is better than 95% of DSA libs and is a valuable asset in the gamer-to-socialist pipeline.
A few years ago I had a friend that tried to argue with me “[clown man]is important for the left.” I pushed back on it then, and I would push back on that even moreso these days.
That said, unlike funny clown man, I think Hasan actually IS good for the left, even if he isn’t always as principled as we would like.
Who cares dude is a non-unionized streamer who posts cringe every other day.
I like Hasan, his content is easy to watch and easy to get into. Very good entry point for many people. He also has a unique position in the internet space where he interacts with normal mainstream streamers which gives him the ability to pipeline people from those demographics which other breadtube people dont as they kinda sit in their own bubble.
I like his integrity. He stands for his personal convictions even if it means getting fired from tyt or banned from twitch and doesnt bend to pressure. He also does apologise if called out for something bad.
I think he’s a much better pipeline to the left than other more theory based purple light breadtubers as he collabs with people outside the leftist circle often rather than sticking to their own internet bubble.
