    I can’t say I’ve watched anything more than clips of him really. And some pretty poor logic in many instances. Some of his biggest shit takes tend to center around china etc. Largely because he’s trying to court the leninist/tank space. A bad idea.

    Though ironically your comments almost exactly mirror those of another political youtuber. Vaush. I don’t watch all that much of him either. Just again Clips every once in awhile. He has his own issues. But doesn’t change his views to be popular like Hasan. Whether that’s good or bad.

      I don’t watch Vaush often but I like what I have seen from him.

      Yeah, I also seem to remember being a fan and then continually being surprised by his shit takes. That tracks with what I experienced.

        Yeah the one that really stuck with me was the one where he was watching a bunch of Chinese huddling under a bridge in order to access heavily censored and controlled internet through an organizations nearby Wi-Fi. Because their communist Utopia didn’t provide them access at home. Saying that the West needs this sort of thing. I mean if I were to try to assume the best of him I can only imagine he thought it must have been some social club or something?

        Not to mention some of the really strange stance changes groups like even The Young Turks have taken of late. One would have to be extremely naive to think that Tim pool or even just right wing commentators were the only ones contacted and contracted by Pro authoritarianism groups.
