    I don’t have time to watch the video. I caught one argument where Hassan said:

    “The Palestinians should be able to use Force to protect their property from Israeli settlers.”

    I feel like this is pretty reasonable. I don’t know what’s outrageous about this.

    I’m beginning to feel like our problem is that I’m progressive or lefty and you’re conservative. In which case all of your concerns about Vaush and Hassan make a lot of sense.

    If you have a specific argument that Vash or Hassan that is counter to progressivism, Marxism, or leftism. I’d be happy to hear it out.

    But otherwise, I know there’s hours and hours of YouTubers criticizing both Vaush and Hassan either disingenuously or from an opposing political perspective like fascism. And I don’t have the time to go through all of that and debunk every single one.

      Let me assure you I am not a conservative and also align with progressive or lefty ideals. Don’t mistake criticism of lefty twitch streamers as a convenient reason to box in reasonable discourse.

      Saying Palestinians have a right to self defense is a fine statement. Farming faux outrage day after day by exploiting the suffering of victims of genocide to farm clicks: not so much.

      Let me assure you, Hassan has no interest in seeing an end to any of the ongoing conflicts in the world. This is evidenced by the way he condones and encourages the visceral rhetoric aimed at any party that is seeking reconciliation of any sort.

      Outrage == clicks
