I've never heard him say anything of the sort, pretty sure I've actually heard him say the opposite, but I may be thinking of someone else. Principled doesn't mean the correct take every time. I've felt that he tempers/avoids a lot of the Maoist 3rd worldist takes and discussion intentionally to not scare away his mostly western audience who isn't going to understand until they've studied and learned more.

You see, the brain pan of the average angloid burgerlander has space to grow around areas that are associated with empathy and critical thought. But this void does not fill in until they are taught martialist analysis. For that, Hasan is a good intro.

All jokes aside, I have a lot of faith in martialist analysis eventually leading to better understanding.
