Hasan's popularity is one of the most depressing things to me. There is no way to slice it beyond "women find him attractive, so he gets a pass on absolutely everything."I am to lazy to find the clips, but one I saw a little bit of some other leftist covering Hasan's debate with Ethan Klein. Hasan's views are so incoherent.
It's obvious he doesn't think about he believes and only believes what is the cool thing to believe to his target audience. He likes narratives and talking points.
So he was extoling the virtues of central planning, but then a few minutes later went on about the moral need for work place democracy. My question is this. How are these things compatible ? Let's say the government say wants to build a new rail system to improve the transport of raw materials and improve the economy. Obviously they want this done by a certain time to maximize utility, but then the worker co op that lays train tracks doesn't want to lay as much track in a day as the government wants. How do you rectify this ?
I know we all love to bully Vaush and that is for good reason I have partook in my fair share of Vaush bullying, but I have to give the credit where it's do, Vaush is a million times smarter then Hasan and it's not even close (not saying Vaush is exceptionally intelligent just that Hasan is so dumb anyone looks smart compared to him). Vaush for all his asinine beliefs clearly puts some thought into what he believes and why he believes what he believes.
As you said, he follows what's popular. If you dig really deep into his history online, he initially hosted some dudebro portions of TYT where he talked about "banging chicks" and stuff like that. He eventually got backlash for this because he was labeled sexist, his uncle told him to dial it down, and he went on to get backlash for a number of things over the years.
He gets those backlash episodes precisely BECAUSE he doesn't actually have deep understanding for anything he's talking about, so lo and behold he periodically "misfires" and says something unpopular. And the only thing that changes is he refines his system to better hone in on what's popular. Hasan is ultimately like the police officer that signs up so they have a "legal" way to shoot someone: he only signs on with the beliefs he has in order to find a way for society to support him lobbing smooth-brained dudebro insults at people.
The only constants throughout his internet career are:
1) He hones in on what's popular.
2) First thing he does when he disagrees with or is upset by someone is insult their appearance. You would think this would be a huge red flag that screams "horrendous empathy" if the same guy blessed with being called attractive loves to go around making others feel bad about their looks, but no, people love his shows where he watches political clips and then calls people that disagree with him ugly. He insulted women's appearances in his early days of TYT and got flack for it, he does the same now but only does it to Republican woman and lo and behold people cheer him on.
I pop into his stream once in a blue moon out of fascination with the guy's popularity because to me he seems like a horrendous human being, and it's always the same: silently chewing his food while watching other people's content, shilling about how you can avoid the ad break by subbing, banning people that disagree with them with a dismissive "ur like, stupid bro," and he'll immediately insult the appearance of any political figure he disagrees with.
I find it a painful piece of irony that the dude claims to be woke, but you could find clips of him mocking women, the disabled, overweight people, etc., and to me that says it all: if someone's disabled and shares his political beliefs, he understands "the mob" likes and supports this person, so he can't do anything. If they harbor the "wrong" opinions though, Hasan knows this might be fair game and LOOOOOVES to indulge in the childish insults. For him, politics is slinging childish insults at each other.
My favorite "critique" of Hasan is accidental and actually a small clip from melina I got recommended one day. (could have her name wrong, I don't really follow the big streamers)
Basically, she confessed she enjoys watching his stream and listening to him and finds him attractive and enjoys looking at him, but then goes onto say "maybe it's just me, but when I try to focus on his words and what he's saying, it doesn't really make sense to me."
She laughed at this and dismissed the problem like some belief she's too stupid to understand him or she's too distracted by his appearance to understand, but no girl, you nailed it: dude doesn't make sense, and the real shame is he's unfortunately very popular and probably responsible for teaching a huge group of young dumb impressionable people that "politics is when childishly insult others."
