Disgusting demon. I started watching Hasan because I wanted to understand why were my family in Gaza and Lebannon being invaded by Israel. I had my doubts about Israel, I didn't think they were that evil, but I spiraled after seeing what they'd do to my people. Hasan has been the only influencer who kept me from rotting worse, I know how to separate Jews from Zionists. I don't blame all Jews like A LOT of people are doing so online. I only dislike the Zionists and Netanyahu's government.

You are only sorry that you have been exposed as someone who still defends America's imperialism. You live under an authoritarian regime too, you dounce. You never had real democracy or freedom in your life. You are NOT A MEGA DONOR, you have not donated even a million dollars to a candidate's campaign you wanted to see win. You were always forced to elect between politician A who appeals to sympathy, or politician B who appeals to empathy, both with a touch of apathy for the other. Both ready to answer the interests of the rich, but not yours. The fact you keep attacking me and not these ideals, says a lot about your true intentions here. Grow the fuck up if I am wrong. Be better.

I am also a Mexican (one of Hasan's 35 in total that watch him), who has constantly dealt with racism online, not only from Americans, but also Europeans and Asians. We have a lot of stereotypes you love to abuse. You always ignore us, belittle us, insult us. And when we try to be heard, you say exactly shit like this. Always. You are an asshole, dude. I have seen nothing but death in my life. People hanged in my city, beheaded, getting shot in the head while eating outside, children being targetted, lost my Spanish teacher and his son who was my classmate once. All thanks to America.

And still you say I don't care about Hasan or his community, when I am literally defending them from your banal statements? You make no sense, dude. What are you? An Asmongold fan? Ethan Klein? Ethan Klein fans moved from calling Hasan and everyone who supports him a pedophile to the dog shock collar thing ever since he lost that defamation lawsuit against that billionaire he called a pedophile too. Sexpestiny, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate, Sneako, Nux, Tectone, or even Fox News, David Path Beckam or whatever his name is, which of all his wacko ass haters are you a fan of? Stop wasting people's times, show your real colors already. The dog shock collar thing is almost a year old now, it's akin to the people who sent death threats to PirateSoftware just because of a fucking World of Warcraft dungeon, which he wasn't even at fault. You behave exactly like those hivemind drones.
