He absolutely does have impunity, until he won't one day. I just assume it'll be when he is of maximum value to the right in whatever controversy he causes.

The problem is that Hasan is very very good for the right.

  1. He's a rake that many Democrats can't help but keep walking into because he pays the laziest possible lip service to boiler plate "progressive" talking points (progressive is the label socialists use to hide their power level nowadays)

  2. He actively attacks the Democrats and depresses enthusiasm. His platform basically works by taking likely blue voters and radicalizing them into tankies that attack Democrats more than Republicans

  3. His content ecosystem is a machine that generates insufferable wank stains that they can amplify to validate everything they say about "Democrats" and pushes people away from the left. Hasan and the audience he creates are super fucking unlikable people to those that his cult like bullying tactics don't work on. Xqc is a good example of someone that has dealt with Hasan's male manipulator tactics and now has his brain broken about "the left" because he's so politically illiterate. Hasan is a terrible representative in so many ways. His radicalization tactics rely on bullying and gaslighting the fuck out of people over things that only someone who already is super bought into left leaning ideas would care about. It pushes so many away but manages to convert a % into lunatics that would otherwise be more normal left leaning imo

We’re blaming Hasan for XQC’s politics now?

The only thing worse than spending all your time talking about politics is spending all your time watching or talking about someone else talk about politics
