    Hassan has credibility because he’s so damn analytical and not immediately convinced by what the story is

    I didn’t mean to imply he has no credibility. Actually, I quite like him. He’s good TV at a bare minimum, but yeah he’s got a great analysis of current events and he seems like a good guy. But I do think his usefulness will always be limited by his reformism.

    Really though, I’m more concerned about his personal safety than I am about his politics right now. (Hence the parasocial comment.) I guess I spent too much time complaining in the previous comment, but I seriously think he needs to leave the country for his own safety (well really he should have left when he was stopped at the border, but again he’s stubborn/braver than me).

      I feel you. Things are about to get much worse and the right will use anything to manufacture an opportunity to advance actual fascism. I mean, the line from Charlie to Rittenhouse is basically straight.

      Be safe all my friends comrades and revolutionary rabble rousers.
