I didn't touch on that and there's no reason to ask me it.

I just don't think he's that significant. I understand that people are grabbing into any left side version of the hate machine that the right has been so successful with with their male podcasters. I don't think that they're going to find that that works on the left.

Hasan isn't a hate machine though?

This is what makes me so angry, the casual uninterested willingness to accept the rightwing framing of leftists as just as violent, hateful and dangerous as rightwing extremists by people like you.

Hasan is nothing like Nick Fuentes, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Asmongold etc... he despises ideologies of hate and exclusion.
