Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

I knew this was coming. I was just thinking yesterday how it's amazing how he hasn't been deplatformed already but given Trump, the circling of wagons ever tighten for the zionist occupation with propaganda like about the soccer hooligans. The hammer was inevitably going to fall on Hasan and the fact he makes Twitch money is not going to be enough to save him.
He needs to be prepared to move his audience to a sovereign platform not under control or influence of imperialist outrage machine and he needs the plan for that ready yesterday.
Not easy to do but at least some way he can keep in touch if the hammer falls and drag some portion of his audience which would end up being much smaller admittedly with him.
Because I am positive that the new trifecta of Republicans are going to go for the old red meat and plenty of it, fearmongering about "radical left" and all that and Hasan is perfect for that. So while this outrage may or may not get him deplatformed from Twitch once it rises to the notice of Mr. Bezos that one of his machines is elevating an anti-imperialist anti-capitalist, I think we can be pretty sure the pressure will be dialed up to 11 sometime between January and summer of next year. The Democrats and liberals are all in on it and attacking the left after their loss to Trump, they'll merrily join and call for more information control, more censorship in other words painted in rosier terms.
When they pass laws to even further strip the 1st amendment of protections for anyone against empire it will be with the strong urging, support, and design of Democrats. And yet their blueanon voters will howl how Trump is the one who wants to censor and control things while their party urgently works to build a better machinery of control for him or anyone else instead of doing the obvious thing which is to push back on all attempts at censorship, to rebuke in times like these government power and meddling. Hopefully a few liberals notice this.
I agree with you, and I'll go one step further. Hasan needs to be prepared for unhinged Zionists attempting to murder him and his family. This ranges from hiring security to being prepared for self-defense to moving out of the US. The cold harsh reality is that Hasan is no longer safe in any Western country. These Zionist freaks are no joke when they feel like the legal system will protect them, and they will be protected. And I'm saying this as someone who doesn't particularly like his content or particularly respect streamers as an occupation. But I know a call to "rid this troublesome priest" when I see one.
People in this thread shouldn't be in some celebratory mood. Things are going to escalate really fast from here. Kicking him off Twitch is a given and an inevitability, but the Zionists will not stop there. They will first start to do light property damage like slashing his tires. Then they'll escalate to something like firebombing his house. Then they'll escalate even further by trying to harm but not kill him and his family.
Remember, we saw a bunch of Zionist football hooligans attempt to conduct a pogrom on Dutch Moroccans and the entire Western media go, "uh atkually, the pogrom was conducted against the hooligans not by the hooligans." This is no joke, and I hope Hasan doesn't treat this as one.
The problem with that is western Europe, Canada, Australia and the like are just as likely to be dangerous in this regard and if one thinks he's in danger of intelligence action then moving to some third world/global south country with less developed security and police forces makes it even easier to do something like an assassination or assault without much premeditation or risk it goes wrong and your operation gets blown like you have to work around in much of the west.
Basically the only safe places that comes to mind would be Russia, China, Iran, Cuba but moving to any of those would immediately allow them to paint him as a foreign agent and apply even harsher propaganda and deplatforming techniques as well as probably more dangerous things like arrest warrants, sanctions, being on no-fly-list type of things.
I don't think they want to do anything but silence him at this point.
I can't claim I've watched any amount of his content. I find his history on women's rights problematic to say the least (incredibly liberal-brained) but he's unambiguously doing good work in the anti-imperialist sphere and as with Russia our bedfellows may not always be people we find beacons of morality and uprightness.
Well the thing is with the zionists there is no dividing line between their intelligence and their casual thugs, they literally bring their "ex"-IDF and Mossad goons to college protests and use chemical weapons on people, they send them with soccer hooligans to Amsterdam to cause trouble and inflict more damage, etc. So in their case there is little distinction where some zionist freaks end and the reach of their state begins.
"I love this article, I'm not gonna lie to you. I read it this morning and I thought it was sick"
Where would he go though? Most of his options are probably in NATO or MNNA countries with Zionists having an iron grip on their governments. He could go to China or somewhere else outside that sphere but I doubt it.
Japan is a possibility, its pretty generous towards these permanent tourists and he seems to love it.
