Individual rights and freedoms, the things that supposedly separate the “democratic” west from its “authoritarian” adversaries, are being shredded on behalf of Zionism.

  • The thing that I find wild is all the so called “leftists” who simply vote for Democratic progressives or their equivalent will not take the hint and maybe, just once, listen to a fucking communist. Like, on the spectrum of ideology Hasan’s presentation would hardly qualify as anything more then Social Democratic, and this is how the state meets his energy. They’ll make a spectacle out of him, and then hope a groyper does the dirty work for them. Your outward communist member of the community? They’ll get black bagged. Plenty of that was going around during the BLM era. I’m sure its going to make a comeback.

    Like, I get what you’re saying, but I don’t know that the people who call him a liberal in that way want him dead. Some of those people though are ultras or crypto-fascists. But we both know we need to move beyond his politics. That’s at least what I see here in these spaces. If all Hasan ever did was talk shit online the feds wouldn’t care. The difference between him and these ultras is he shows himself touching grass. That’s the danger he presents. If even 1% of his viewers are inspired to also touch grass instead of debating online, then that’s a breach of containment.

    But liberals will see this happening and not want to hear from those to Hasan’s left. The question I have is, how does this shape his perspective going forward? He said on stream that “liberal democracy is dead”, but I’ve heard him say that before. So who knows. I have a feeling things are not going to change all that much. He’ll keep doing this progressive Dem push and then be disappointed when nothing ultimately gets better.

    Then what?

      I think you’ve kinda got it right in so much as that there is not free speech that can actually explicitly threaten the existing power structure. Anyone who knows their history here knows that as the truth. The “then what” is likely that Hasan goes no further because the alternative is him getting got.
