No I'm saying maybe offer people something other than tax spread sheet bullshit, which is generally all the democratic party can ever do. They fucking can't stop talking about the EITC.

It's a combination of books, news sources, and some formal education. I was lucky that my highschool still heavily invested in humanities before I went off to a stupid ass tech collage. Beyond that I am constantly researching things because I'm weird. So when people pull up reasons that are fairly well documented quite literally easily sourced on wikipedia of all places it's incredibly easy for me to remember and reference them.

You seem to believe that I think I can convince others.

I think I cannot because the love and defense of Hasan doesn't come from an objective place at all. I'm merely shitposting. There are people deifying him in this thread and all over the internet.

Congrats you have mental illness now.

Hasan's follower gain for November - December alone is roughly the size of the entire Lemmy fediverse MAU, ~60k.

He’s using his influence to organize the working class and advocate for collective action, which is the one tool workers have in the fight against their own exploitation.

Posting and streaming (which is just video posting) is not "organizing the working class and advocating for collective action". The closest he gets to this is fundraisers, but the buck pretty much stops there.

Money is important sure, but that's not what organizing is. If fundraising is organizing than the Democratic Party should be Bolsheviks.

Going on stream to tell the people who decompress from their shitty McDonalds shifts that they should organize as they say hell yeah man and go back to the work the next day without doing anything isn't organizing, it's not advocacy, it's entertainment.

Depends on what you define left, but if it's left of the DNC and corporate media than he's one of the biggest no doubt about it.

I realized he is very knowledgeable

Citation needed.

Hasan has the same knowledge as an average poster on this website. The average poster doesn't know the differences between Mao and Lenin or China and USSR. Half the posters on this site don't even understand the disagreements between the movements they claim to like.

Hasan literally would tell you this is nerd shit as a deflection when asked (same thing that Felix from Chapo does cuz it's cool not to know basic history about the thing you claim to be). Hasan literally doesn't know how to employ the basics of journalism. When pinned against the wall Hasan will admit that he's entertainment. What you're mistaking for knowledge is the fact that he reads leftist news aggregators all day and his chat is literally one. That's not knowledge that's chattering.

Hasan's strength is that he can understand what vaguely center-to-center-leftish normies vibe with and find convincing, he's a filter, but there's no real depth there.

Half the responses in here are like "he's organizing the working class" which is the lulziest shit ever because for some reason y'all think organizing is posting memes and streaming.

Because he's cool to a certain type of person and those people are vaguely leftist (just like Hasan is vaguely leftist).

That cool factor and the parasocial relationships protect him a lot in places like this where some of the more knowledgeable users will actually dunk on his sources like Ettingermentum when they do/say stupid shit. It's incredibly funny to see.

Honestly that's pretty much it.
