    Hasan is the embodiment of left infighting. His extremist views divide instead of uniting.

        Do run of the mill progressives simp for Cuba and China, platform Houti terrorists, and praise Hamas at every opportunity? Hasan is a tankie extremist, that hides his powerlevels badly. His sexist attitudes I won’t even mention. His behavior towards other streams is pretty vile as well.

            What aid did he bring?

            He partied hard and used lots of electricity for his amusement while Cuba is lacking oil.

              What did he bring?

              He was part of this convoy. Read the FAQ.

              He partied hard and used lots of electricity for his amusement

              The free concert that was put on for Cubans and also included Cuban musicians? Yeah, what a travesty that he and other entertainers provided some joy for people ravaged by Trump’s foreign policy.

              while Cuba is lacking oil.

              Your passive framing here icing on the cake. Cuba is “lacking oil” because of the USA’s blockade. Cuba is suffering because of decades of economic warfare waged by the USA. If you actually cared about the Cuban people, you would support Hasan raising awareness about it. But you’re so caught up in streamer/podcaster drama that you’ve lost the plot.

                The blockade is bad and it‘s great they brought some goods to Cuba. Your link doesn’t show what they actually brought though.

                  The FAQ in my link says what the organization expects participants to bring. Here in Hasan’s video you can see him talk about the supplies that they are bringing with (1:23 in the video).

                    Thank you for the link. It looks like around 20 cardboard boxes of aid are shown for a few seconds in the video.

                    Better than nothing I guess.

                    Of course a campist isn’t able to understand that. People I don’t like or disagree with do good things sometimes.

                    The blockade of Cuba is bad for Cuba and the USA. Most other countries trade freely with Cuba.

                    Cuba poses zero threat to the US. The times when Cuba tried to export the revolution are over. Venezuela was their last attempt and it had pretty bad outcomes. The blockade has proven ineffective in fostering regime change in Cuba as well.

                    Commerce between the USA and Cuba is the best chance to improve the lives of Cubans. I think the blockade is one of the main ideological reasons the communists have that keep them in power.

                    The only reason the USA still has the blockade is the exile Cubans in the swing state Florida.

          My guy, linking H3 as a proof of anything is losing you any credibility on the matter.

          And that Mike guy video is basically a “nuh-huh” of 4h about Hasan.

          Edit: and the comment section of both videos are a cesspool.

            Yes, Chinese propaganda has lots of success recently. China is a rising power and the USA are in crisis.

            China has industrialized extremely well and is now even competitive in research and cutting edge technology. Millions of Chinese living in the rich coastal cities have gained an almost western standard of living. The situation is very different in rural areas. There are also lots of issues with worker’s rights, safe working conditions, environment, etc.

            What Hasan Piker likes about China are superficial things like the communist aesthetics, high speed rail, executions of corrupt billionaires, and anti western sentiment.

              I’m pretty sure Hasan Piker also likes how Chinese life expectancy has surpassed the US, how Chinese literacy rates have surpassed the US, how Chinese homelessness is lower than the US, etc etc. Those are hardly superficial things.

              Like I said, life in China is getting better and better (even in rural areas, though it’s slower) and life in the US is getting worse.

                The same is true for most other developed countries. You could talk about health care in Sweden, education in Finland, homelessness in Switzerland, life expectancy in Japan, and high speed rail in France. All of them are liberal democracies.

                Communist aesthetics are the main reason for Hasan. He’s is all about aesthetics in everything he does.

                  Developed countries staying developed isn’t really remarkable.

                  Developing countries becoming developed is actually remarkable, because countries usually end up stuck in underdevelopment as they’re ruthlessly exploited by the global economy. China is finally escaping a trap that has ensnared the rest of the Global South.

                  Compare that to a developed country like the US seemingly falling into underdevelopment. The contrast is remarkable, too.

                    China became developed by embracing market capitalism. China had decades of braindead economic policies with gigantic failures resulting in millions of deaths.

                    Lots of other countries have done this as well all over Asia and elsewhere.

                    Countries stuck in development hell usually suffer from weak Institutions, mismanagement, corruption, lack of diversification, ideological insanity, and such.

                    The best comparison to China is Taiwan.

          Given that the two biggest national sponsors of terrorism in the world are Israel and America, any comparison with Cuba, China, the Houthis, and Hamas might come out sounding like praise. Right now the fate of the middle east and the world at large depends on Iran defeating Israel and the US. The worst possible future would be for Israel to get to continue attacking it’s neighbors forever to build “greater Israel” as they dream. Does that make Iran the “good guys”? Not even close.

            Lonerbox critices the IDF and Israeli government regularly. He supports Palestinian self determination and a two state solution. Actual Palestinians and other people from the region are on his stream regularly.

            If Lonerbox is your evil Zionist enemy, you will forever fail to build a coalition that’s able to make an actual impact for Palestinians.
