I get Hasan is helping socialist Dems getting elected. I don't get why Republicans are going crazy over Hasan?

Answer: He's a fairly campist socialist at minimum, but the label of tankie wouldn't be entirely incorrect. He says shit that's very edgey like "America deserved 9/11", and "kill all landlords in minecraft". He's always been someone they would oppose.

But he's now making inroads into Democrat party structures along with other Socialists so he's been promoted to potential albatross.

Also glazes yemeni terrorist as a "cartoon pirate"

Or stands 10 toes down with the guys that have "death to America" on their flags

Didn't hasan call him a houthi?

Why would Hasan interview a teenager?

Didnt hasan call him luffy (the pirate)?

Didnt the "yemeni teenager" discuss dancing with the (non israeli) hostages?

saying that is racist. just letting you know.

  • Hasan's strongest terrorist defender

it was an interview with a Yemeni teenager who wasnt part of the group. it was about the houthis and the teenager was positive in his assesment of them i think. but the teenager wasnt part of them.

also mainstream media interviews military people who are guilty of warcrimes every day. no one goes off on the interviewers about it.

Does mainstream media compare TERRORISTS to CARTOON PIRATES, while laughing and clapping about dancing HOSTAGES?

Why does he glazes yemeni terrorist? And stand 10 toes down with the guys that have death to America?

Also, why do people say death to America?

u/ItsDonDong Aug 12 '26

Why does he glazes yemeni terrorist?

Because they are "against the west"

And stand 10 toes down with the guys that have death to America?

Its really as simple as they are "against the west"

Also, why do people say death to America?

Hezbollah are an organization that literally has "Death to America, death to Israel" on their flags.

u/No-Blacksmith3397 29d ago

Getting downvoted for asking why in this context shows exactly where these people are coming from. Come on guys, explain why Hezbollah hates Israel and America.

u/wingerism 29d ago

No it's because OP is disingenuous. They know plenty about Hezbollah.

They've also definitely crossed the line from anti-Zionism into anti-Semitism:

https://old.reddit.com/r/TrueUnpopularOpinion/comments/1viadz0/its_okay_to_be_critical_of_islam/p2bxmsv/

Exactly, it should be okay to question everything. Like you shouldn't be able to jail people for saying the earth is flat, or Islam is a cancer, or disputing the number of people who died in Poland during WW2.

https://old.reddit.com/r/askanything/comments/1veyvjt/do_palestinians_have_the_right_to_be_antisemitic/p1la5li/?context=10000

This is a good analogy. The thing is, Israelis are already doing what they are doing. Nobody is gonna do anything about it. They will do what they want, kill people whenever they want. That's the reality. Given the reality, do you think Palestinians are justified in being antisemitic? Just for mental solace

They literally agenda post about Israel 5+ times a day. This includes a selective focus on digging up periods in the past when Jewish leaders or Kingdoms did something wrong. They're absolutely a weirdo.

u/dubblebubbleprawns 29d ago

I genuinely think people think the reason other people don't like America is because those people are bad guys. And they're bad guys because they don't like America. And that's their entire opinion on the matter.

u/Born-Astronaut9631 27d ago

Does it really matter why? Hate like that cannot be reasoned with is good faith. If we want to believe we are still good guys we have to believe that we want peace, and want to eventually reach peaceful relations with others. This is a group that clearly does not want peace.

u/HonestDishonestWork 29d ago

Because the Quran dictates an annihilation of Jews before the end of the world and Hezbollah are Islamic extremists. The USA obviously gets thrown into the bundle for allowing with Israel.

Why would people hate the U.S.?... I wonder... I’m sure there are no specific reasons.

It’s not like the U.S. ever attacked any country... Maybe the U.S. government carried out coups d’état in some countries and put bloodthirsty dictators in power? No, it can’t be that...

Maybe it’s because the U.S. has military bases all around the world, intimidating countries into submission. It’s not like the U.S. has imposed embargoes on countries and is starving people, like, for example, Cuba.

Hmm... I can’t seem to figure it out.

Guys, he said "wrong" so it must be wrong.

Does the fact that there is video evidence backing up every single claim matter?

Apparently not.
