    He also constantly accused Kamala and other democrats of supporting genocide and never told anyone to vote for her.

    Hasan is both a DSA shill, and also part of the reason the Democrats lost the election, owing to his criticisms of Kamala.

    I’m too old for streamers, I really don’t have a horse in this race, but it’s not lost on me that Hasan has actual, monied interests propagandizing against him. That’s the only way you get silly narratives that appeal to ‘both sides’ like this.


  • The little input I can give on this subject is that Hasan’s anti-fandom seems entirely sure that Hasan flips according to his audience, whereas Hasan’s fandom is certain his audience is constantly being educated and enlightened by Hasan’s takes. As with most things, overly positive and overly negative feelings towards Hasan are parasocial and we should only be analyzing his individual actions and their impact.










  • I don’t think it’s possible to rewild the internet. Part of what made the early internet as it was, was the novelty of the technology. It was new to everyone as well as being largely unregulated, no one knew what it could do and everything was an experiment.

    Now people have much different expectations, the internet is infrastructure and the services it can potentially offer are unrivaled. There is merit to a wild west free-for-all and we’ve seen the good and bad that produces. What many would argue today (imo) is that there’s infinitely more merit to having governmental services accessible from anywhere, from having moderated & reasoned discussion areas, and to have any and all bad actors suppressed in the ‘digital town hall’ we all love hanging out in.
