Good, he shouldn't have a platform.
The talks he's been doing pre russias invasion of Ukraine, were echoing russia's propaganda. Everyone oposing him was a "moron". NATO was the perp. His mods were actively perma-banning any pro-NATO sentiment.
He's a neutered tankie.
I think one of the topics that gets not much attention in American politics is the closeness of Israeli and Russian politicians and political goals.
To be fair, he has admitted that he was wrong about that.
I mean, what else could he have done? Ignore it?
He admited it in the most petty way, and only because the fact that russia actually invaded Ukraine was impossible to weasle out of, or paint it in a different light.
He's done more than you're doing right now in admitting he was wrong. You're doubling down.
What? What was I factually wrong about?
I don't like the guy because he's a campist, but I don't think he should've been banned for this mild shit
I agree.
Yea people who downvote this comment must not know Hasan. Occasionally like in this case, he does say the right thing. But much more often he does not. His whole shtick is trying to say the right thing that will get him the most attention for any given situation without having any actual moral or ethical consistency. He will say anything if he thinks it will get him a follow..
The people who downvote my comment are the same who donate him money, instead of donating it to the people who actually need it.
As he presents himself as "left", there's not many personalities that the left can actually cling to.
