Or rather, he’s bringing attention to the protests using his star power that they wouldn’t otherwise get from mainstream media.
Also, didn’t most or all of the socialist-leaning anti-Zionist candidates he campaigned with win their primaries?
If you have a platform, use it. Dude’s meeting people where they are, not sure how that’s for “clout” now that real change is being made. Why do you think Fox News is constantly up his ass now?
Yeah I fully agree, and I don’t agree with the critics. I’m just giving voice to concerns I’ve heard levied from people who make organizing protests and streaming protests what they do. Hasan shows up and suddenly it’s about them not what they were protesting. And Hasan has acknowledged this and been explicit about not wanting to do that, but it’s an unfortunate artifact that comes from their star power. So they don’t do it very often.
suddenly it’s about them not what they were protesting.
That’s only how it is being framed by his critics and their fans, who still think there’s something in trying to scrutinize the dog collar.
Every case that I have seen of Hasan, be it showing up at rallies, supporting a candidate, or joining the convoy: his presence is welcomed, seen as valuable and benedicial to the protest, politician, or cause.
Only time I can think where his presence was treated as a liability was the 2024 DNC.

I mean 99/100 times yes. The one exception I can note was when they went down to the street at the LA protests. And like, there were already plenty of protest streamers there, which is like, thats what they do. And yeah, like, all of a sudden all the protesters were like “Oh holy shit its Hasan!” And wanted autographs etc… which like, is legitimately distracting from a protest. And so some other live streamers did make comment on their streams (like Merc, a few others who do that kind of streaming. THey make a point to not make it about themselves.
Called out Israeli spying and interfering with American politics through AIPAC and dark money. Israel was also found to be spying on the president and his administration - why would such a close ally spy on their friends? Because they aren’t friends. Israel is invading America.
Israel is not invading America lol. The president isn’t the boss of America, the oligarchs are, and they’re perfectly fine with their friends spying on the government for them.
He may or may not have used a shock collar on his dog while livestreaming. I didn’t care about him enough to follow the story to its conclusion, but some people identified the collar as a shock collar while he claimed he removed the metal probes.
He did not shock his dog, but there is a clip where he reaches off screen and then the dog, who was moving at the time, yelps.
Circumstantial evidence at best, but of course the haters RAN with it. No one wants the anti-gambling, anti-zionist, anti-capitalist streamer to be popular. It’s incredible the bullshit they spread about this guy.
The dog also does exactly what a punished dog does, droopy ears and moving slowly to the spot they think you want them at, and the dog sitting in 1 spot for 10 hours a day. Granted I haven’t had or seen every dog breed in existance, but I have never seen a dog do any of the things in the video without being shocked yelled at hit or scolded.
I said “may or may not” and yall clarified the outcome of the allegations. Most people here said it was right-wing pundits being inflammatory shitheads, so good‐-the dog wasn’t hurt.
What’s he done?
He’s a bit of a tankie-lite talking piece, but iirc he went on a boat to deliver aid to Cuba so he’s done some good.
The UK is only banning him because he’s anti-Zionist tho.
What a monster.
He’s also a bit of a show boater, showing up to protests and getting all the attention because of his star power.
I’d also say he tends to soften his critiques in person, where he might get something right, he’ll not stick to his guns when confronted.
None of if that makes him wrong per se. But the people who have eaten the anti-hasan hasbara… well they are indeed a special breed of hog

This has always been baseless conjecture and was promoted by Israeli media.
The only people who believe it are hogs.
He extremely obviously didn’t
