    The left is full of this kind of purity testing.

    Social media has accelerated the forming of lots of small cults and polarization.

    Hasan is a sad narcissist with a cult following, just like many other social media personalities. The parasocial relationship keeps viewers loyal.

    The telling thing about Hasan is that he has done all kinds of questionable stuff like advocating for terrorist groups, send his followers on harassment and doxing campaigns, tankie talking points, sexism, etc. Animal abuse is where people draw the line.

      You can hate on Hasan, but at least provide someone other than Ethan Klein doing the analysis… the guy obviously has a long history of beef with Hasan and honestly it boils down to a lot of he said she said kind of argument which is not only tiresome but rife with so much bias its impossible to separate fact from fiction when it comes to either of their accounts of each other.
