“How dare they use the kind of rhetoric against Britain that Britain has been using against other countries for hundreds of years!”

I have some fear about it, but then, I also have fears about a lot of things. In general, it feels hard to muster much headspace for it with everything else going on in the world. Plus like, I don’t even really understand it and I don’t want to do a bothsidesism unfairly, so there’s not much for me to do with the information coming out about it.

He also did a podcast together with the now very vocally Zionist Ethan Klein who is married to an IDF war criminal.

This is kind of an unfair “bad by association” thing. I’m not sure why Hasan would carry water for AOC or Bernie at this point, but from things I have heard, he is very clear on it being a genocide and had a very public falling out with Ethan Klein as a result of them differing so strongly on that issue after the October 7th stuff happened. Actually, falling out is an understatement, as it has become this whole thing where Ethan is spiraling in a victim complex, lashing out at anyone and everyone, and behaving like a pathological liar, as zionists tend to do.

At a distance, it probably looks like internet spat nonsense (and to a large extent, I think it is, in the sense that it doesn’t materially matter much other than hearts and minds of some impressionable podcast and streamer viewership). But Ethan and Hasan are two pretty different people. Ethan has turned into a raging black hole of zionism and dishonesty. And my impression of Hasan is that he’s at worst an anti-imperialist whose left tendencies can sometimes sound a bit hazy in that realm of anti-state / anarchist / ultra-left something or other. But I’m not sure it’d be possible for him to be a principled marxist-leninist, for example, and have the streaming size that he does in the west. So these things go hand in hand to an extent. I could also be misunderstanding how he navigates it and underestimating the extent to which he supports AES states. I mainly learned more recently due to the drama spiral going on, I am not a “fan” of any of these people.

He should have known that English has been around in the exact same form for 6,000 years, back when Noah wrote the Bible while riding the Ark of the Covenant.

He was this guy who got extremely good grades in school, so one day, somebody called him Carl Marks and it stuck. Then he went on to write Capital, an in-depth guide on uppercase, lowercase, and all things grammatical, and anti-comma-use English professors have hated him ever since.
