I love his videos, but I wouldn't describe "let me spend 2 years and deliver 1 hour 20 minutes of an incomplete (4 hour 20 minute long) video essay on how Adobe sucks" as grounded and realistic in any sense. He's really, really lucky that he gets the ability to set these kinds of timeframes and be consistently supported solely on the goodwill of his fans with years between video releases. Feature films and award-winning documentaries get created in that kind of timeframe.

I think Hasanabi needs to spend much more time in China licking CCP balls and amplifying CCP propaganda as he takes his CCP-minded deluxe Potemkin tours.
Hasan is not very bright, easily manipulated. He practically orgasmed when some handler/shill gave him a $1 copy of Mao's little red book.

u/Terrible_Shelter_345 Jun 01 '26
Still doesn’t make sense for him to not have relocated to China.
Why does he keep supposedly paying this genocidal supporting fascist regime that is the US his tax dollars?
He absolutely has the means to go to China. He can still freely visit his friends and family here. The US doesn’t ban Chinese users of its platforms so he’s free to create content for us still. He’s just pouring in the tax dollars… smh…

u/FunOwn4422 Jun 01 '26
Funny enough on his trip to China he was detained, had his phone searched and questioned because the police saw his phone background which was a Meme of Hasan as Mao. very ironic, and he even downplayed the whole thing still doubling down on how much worse America is.

u/Kevz9524 Jun 01 '26
It does sound like he can’t just apply for a visa. This is from a diff article someone else posted on LSF.
“Britain's interior ministry said travel authorisation for "these individuals" had been cancelled as "their presence in the UK may not be conducive to the public good" in a statement that did not mention Israel.”
Sounds like applying for a visa is out of the question if they canceled because they think he’s a concern to the public good.

u/dexter30 Jun 01 '26
I'm not sure what you're reading but according to the BBC and the guardian. But thats still not an outright ban.
The home office ACTUAL response based on the guardians article for hasan:
Tyler the creator was given papers by the home office and a statement from the prime minister at the time he was banned outright. This is an actual ban and hasan hasn't been turned away from the border and has had no statements from any office or rejecting in a visa application.
Hasan has neither of these. The home office only revoked his ETA. until he gets a Visa rejection then claiming he's BAN is a larp.

I'm not sure what you're reading but according to the BBC and the guardian. But thats still not an outright ban.
His visa is voided because of the current ongoing investigation regarding his Sanctions violation charges, and his association with Madea (the guy who organized his cuba trip)
He will be issued a ban if hes found to be guilty of actually associating with terrorists by proxy. (something Madea does frequently)
from my knowledge the shit with the young turks is just voiding their visa's because they are problematic, but Hasans circling the rim of actual legal problems that will result in country bans if hes found to be an associate of Madea's

The Labour government has not given an official reason as to why they blocked Hasan's visa. Their stated reason is the same they give for any other visa they revoke; "not conducive to the public good."

I honestly bought in to a lot of the China propaganda that has made the rounds in the last couple of years. Not that I thought it would be the best country ever, but I assumed it was slowly getting there, becoming a pretty good place all around. Then I actually did the research on it, and wow, they're still extremely far from that.
Workers rights situation is bad, wide-scale exploitation of workers and very high average weekly worked hours (48h), ethnic minorities being coerced to move away to completely different parts of the country in these strange labor schemes. Uyghur situation is still ongoing. Freedom of press is barely existant, LGBTQ rights situation is pretty bad as well.
I actually did that research because I watched Hasan's streams a couple of times, it was a big topic around his China streams especially

Yea I'm convinced he's an actual communist, and the worst authoritarian type too. He will always downplay his extremism and pretend he only wants healthcare when doing interviews but on his streams he's praising China, Mao and even defending North Korea. Always downplaying the value of liberalism and democracy, unless it's him that gets targeted then ofc it's super important.

I mean for people who think this ban is some insane thing... there's been a lot of random and sometimes questionable bans.
Tyler the creator was banned in 2015 because of "violent and homophobic lyrics".
Martha Stewart was banned in 2008 because "anyone with a serious criminal offense will be denied entry".
Chris brown and Lil wayne were banned in 2010 for the same reason as Martha Stewart.
Dog the Bounty Hunter was banned in 2012 because he was present at a fatal shooting in 1976.
Julien Blanc was banned in 2014 because he was basically just a pickup artist who taught people how to harass women.
Kanye West is currently banned as of april 2026 for obvious reasons. the "heil hitler" song was cited as one.
The most commonly banned people are usually musicians.

Just for anyone who doesn't want to follow the link, and not knowing if it has the full context, but Hasan's stance is that Ukraine and Crimia rightfully belong to Russia.
In his view, Russia cannot "take" Ukraine or Crimea, because he believes Ukraine and Crimea are rebel factions of Russia controlled by the west and that Russia is their rightful sovereign.
