Please do not approach Hasan IRL and criticize him for breaking the boycotts he promotes, leftist thought leaders are allowed to be hypocrites and consume whatever treats they want. (hexbear.net)

Im being serious. The left needs to embrace a “do as I say not as I do” attitude towards our leaders, with great power comes a large amount of treats and who are we to judge Hasan for not living up to the ideals that he sets out for us. In fact I think its good that he doesnt do what he says, it means you are willing to follow him, when he does not care about you, it shows one true ideological devotion to the cause. Please give your eyes and your capital to Hasan, he needs it more than you, and do not have original ideas or question him at all. Free thinkers will get banned in the twitch chat. And please, do not drink the Coca Cola even if dear leader is doing it. Inshallah Hasan is divine in nature!

i think it's even more online, which is that this person emphatically does NOT like Hasan, but sees their 'identity' as an online leftist being linked to him cos of other leftists watching him, and now has the need to run to the internet to rub it in everyone's face that 'their' person did something wrong, and therefore you are being a 'bad' leftists by liking Hasan, meaning I can discount you as being a part of the thing I identify with and leaving me as the true leftist

it's extremely online, especially with trying to turn it around into this smug, sarcastic rhetorical thing where they're preemptively on the attack against their 'Hasan stan' boogeyman

Oh yeah it might be. I was hoping it was a bit or something. Damn. I'm a terminally online communist and I barely know who this guy is, if I didn't hear people complaining about him I probably wouldn't know anything about him at all. This is very much a "touch grass" moment then, but more importantly, a "talk to people" moment. Hasan is a nobody, no one cares about him other than his very small fanbase and a group of people who are online too much caring way, way too much about him. He's not like a Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson type, who does actively hold some influence in the real world with "normies."

Absolutely a bit. This is a couple layers, too. Ultimately, when you look at their other posting, and probable past accounts, they're making fun of this site and kind of satirizing it. They're often fishing for the line of what kind of unhinged take people here will believe could be coming from a member of the community sincerely or be accepted.
