As much as I think Infrared Haz is a raging autist, he made some similar points to those you're making now, and ultimately he's right. Hasan has the power to affect political change single handedly, he can start a super-pac, fund IRL political activism, back unionization efforts, basically the only thing he can't really do is run for office himself because how toxic his brand is to normal people, who only know him as the Turkroach that celebrated 9/11. Hasan doesn't actually care about these things because they're not to his own benefit, or personal gain. Hes a wealthy overprivileged narcassist thats never had to work a real job or fight for anything in his entire life, and its because of this self centeredness that he's able to ignore the people he's built his career talking about in the most abstract of terms.Hasan is, in my view, the ur-example of someone who legitimately does not have either the imagination or the critical thinking to know what to do with success. He's an actually successful political streamer on multiple platforms and has a colossal audience relative to his field of streaming. A lot of content creators would probably kill for even half of his success.
But it's very plain that he has little idea what to do with the money he makes or the popularity he has beyond drooling consumerism. He paid for a mansion in California. He's got a Porsche in the driveway. The backdrop of his streams is littered with expensive crap. Even with all this, he gives no indication of plans of expansion or that he has any direction besides wallowing in the shallows of content creation. The collection of nice crap grows bigger, and he gets beefier PC hardware every so often, but that's it. No plans for IRL expansion like political activism or charity work, or even mainstream media appearances. He gives no indication of what he plans to do with his channel or the content he makes. His streams are just hours of him sitting in a chair, sometimes not even that, and whining over contemporary politics or attempting to start beefs with other creators. I'm convinced a large chunk of his audience are there for the same reason people went to freak shows.
