In all seriousness though there’s so many valid paths to various forms of leftism and Hasan is one of the more prominent and relatable ones. It’s also simultaneously true that it’s always good to diversify the thought cabinet when possible.
All comrades have their strengths and areas where they fall short. I myself only learned about Hasan relatively recently, but other people have similar philosophies: The Chapo Team, the Blowback team (they were great on the study of Korean history), Ryan Grim and Krystal Ball, even Robert Evans is a decent introduction to Antifascism though I’ve heard rumors he has CIA links. Never gotten around to looking them up myself because I do enjoy his storytelling ability and research on historical assholes, but maybe that’s a place where I fall short.
Interestingly one of the eye opening DPRK moments for me was when my kid made me watch the BoyBoy “getting a hair cut in North Korea” video. It really made me realize how unserious all the propaganda is.
Hasan = #hotguysreadingtheory 😁
