Hasan has definitely acknowledged wrongdoing before, even things as trivial as that during Shocktober 7th he should have checked on Kaya when she yelped, or apologizing for the 9/11 or Rick Scott phrasings (while still defending the sentiment, and also even the phrasing in the second case was fine and he knows it but he chose to apologizing anyway).
Hasan repeatedly and explicitly said that it's good that Platner had support even after the swastika thing because of his platform of economic populism. Literally just Strasserism.
I think that the reason that Hasan ever supported Platner was because he's desperate for there to be any US politician that is anti-Israel. I think there are a lot of people that have that same desperation. The main opponent to Graham Platner is Janet Mills, who is a Zionist that openly supports Israel doing genocide. Some people made the idea that Graham Platner was less bad than the Zionist candidate. I'm not going to engage in lesser-evilism.
I don't think that Hasan is a secret Stasserist. Nobody knows what Strasserism is. Many people don't even know what Fascism means or even what Nazis believed.
Also he tried to ignore the shock collar stuff for as long as possible, but reddit keep spreading new lies about it. Same with the other things.
I'm not saying he has a copy of German Socialism by Gregor Strasser by his nightstand, I'm saying that the logical implication of whatever his brain-broken desperate excuses are is supporting horrible reactionaries who will support economic populism because that's literally what he's doing.
His acknowledgement about Kaya was literally the day after, I'm pretty sure, though of course he spent much more time rejecting the lies around it. He didn't ignore it at all, he just didn't address it in the same stream because basically no one in the stream interpreted what happened that way because it's all based on an out-of-context clip. He's bullheaded to an obvious fault, but usually he doesn't pivot in a completely silent manner.
