Although I have not watched a lot of Hasan videos , I think he is not actually leftist ! He is liberal at best , posing to be leftist ?

hasan isnt a gateway, he is a leftist. as long as you ignore the contradictions of him living in a hollywood mansion and engaging in treat culture, the dude is a very important internet personality because hes basically using his immense wealth and privilege to do praxis like every day. hes a bourgeoisie class traitor like fredrich engles. nothing less than complete uncritical support for hasan should be from this website. he is far more influential here than the chapo podcast.

Probably has done more for the left than me. He’s a guy, Chapo dudes are people, im just saying don’t be to attached to the personalities in a positive or negative way. If you like the context listen, if you don’t, don’t hate and froth when people say they do.

no great leftist movement has ever existed without a cult of personality.

Idk to what extent you can call him "bourgeoisie". He's rich, for sure, but he's not profiting off of anyone else's labor and twitch/amazon is directly profiting off of his.

He doesn't own a factory or a business with employees working for him. Unlike most workers, he has more agency over his own work but he still has to run a certain minimum amount of advertisements as dictated by the platform owners, for example.

I don't know enough theory to know where exactly the line is or if a certain amount of wealth just makes you bourgeois anyway, but yeah, I don't think it's that clear cut with our favorite gorillion-dollar-gucci-mansion-socialist.

Yeah he's more like a professional or a petty bourgeoisie. Really not much different from a movie star

"very important internet personality" is a contradiction in terms and streaming isn't "praxis" in any sense, but otherwise i agree with the general thrust of your argument
