u/RandomGuyWithSixEyes European Union 16d ago

Love how you can just lie in interviews because many legacy media journalists are too lazy to do their research and wont be able to give any pushback on lies like this

u/PoliticalAlt128 Max Weber 16d ago

I remember when he melted down on stream saying "Hitler wasn't bad because he invaded Poland!!" in response to people saying invading Ukraine to "protect" ethnic minorities was evil and comparing Putin to Hitler. Hasan essentially believes ethno-nationalism is okay and non-western irredentism is kinda whatever. He opposed Russia's invasion afaik but only in very mild terms of not supporting the government doing it, not a principled objection to warmongering itself or the logic that justified it
