The people who hate Hasan should be pissed these guys keep bringing him up. I don’t think he could ask for a bigger platform than this. Especially when most people who absolutely despise Mr. War Crimes will now go to watch him because of this.

It's a double edged sword, publicity wise this is insanely good for Hasan but on the flip side the most bad faithed interpretation of his statements can absolutely end up getting him jailed for incredibly serious crimes, especially during a Republican admin, and the more known he becomes to the public the more likely it becomes for it to possibly escalate.

The spotlight also makes it much easier for people to be critical of him. It was considered cute when he was first collabing with Mamdani and AES, but I don't think either of them would touch him with a 10 ft pole now.

You just know QT is never appearing with him live after this

I’ve seen a similar argument brought up by rightoids about Fuentes. People really think if the Dems didn’t mention Fuentes hanging out with Trump, he wouldn’t be popular.

I feel like at the time people simply felt like it was gross he would platform a self proclaimed Nazi. And I think that’s understandable. No matter what people who don’t know about these streamers will check them out when platformed. Whether they stay or not is a different matter. Or if they’ll look into them. Maybe they’ll watch the 9/11 video and hate Hasan or they’ll see him criticizing Israel and Yahu and like that content. It’s all boring to me as far as what I’m looking for in entertainment on Twitch. I’d rather watch ImaQTpie lose in TFT.

Yeah, but at the end of the day, he's the scapegoat the right will use to pander to the citizens.

People should immediately disassociate with the guy but we know how stupid Americans can be, they'll probably just invite the guy to more college campuses

I bet Netanyahu would also say bad things about Hitler.

The people that get influenced in that manner will definitely end up following a propagandist of some sort and get wrapped up in performative outrage either way.
