Hasan does good shit within the confines of the parameters he can exist within, and is a net positive for us, even if he doesn't share our views one-to-one.

yeah someone who watches hasan and learns about the world and takes what he says seriously is a lot more likely to then be receptive to going further, learning more and coming to understand hasan's limitations and bad/mid takes. But on the whole he's a positive, even if he's got a ton of fans who are oblivious or don't fully take his points/logic to heart, let alone go further, they are at least not instinctively anticommunist and generally vibe with us.

He makes calls and has takes that i don't agree with, often in the interest of "optics",, but just covering the shit that he does is a huge boost to the level of discourse happening in a lot of corners of the internet. Just getting people talking about ansarallah and their blockade in a positive light and with context is a huge boost against the "they're just terrorists attacking civilian shipping vessels" people
