Thanks for the that brilliant and cogent response. I love that that's the best you got. "you CanT SpelL goOd"... Fuck. At least I know what the Western Wall is or how to find Israel on a map lol

If you and your favorite internet personality can't "do the research" to spell a name correctly, you should expect the effort directed toward understanding the actual issues to be equally as low. Your replies thus far have proven your lack of comprehension.

Maybe this sort of thing just isn't for you.

Get back to me when Hasan accomplishes something. Anything.

As much of a vile person Kirk was, at least he knew how to mobilize people and be politically effective.

Don't act like Hasan is some supreme bastion of intellectual acumen. He spends 99% of his stream reading Twitter headlines. Don't take my word for it. Go watch it for yourself

He has one of the largest platforms of any left wing creator, and uses it to parse through misinformation in traditional media, and also regularly hosts fundraisers that raise millions of dollars for charity.

OMG, such a bad dude.

The guy is a source of constant misinformation. He said "Russia has a right to invade Ukraine because they speak the same language". What?? Why does anyone pay attention to him?

You think a racist white suppermacist is better than Hassan . Did hassan say something like child should watch execusions?

Thanks for proving you are a scum

Oh man. You guys are so weird. You understand the difference between admiring someone and recognizing that they are effective at achieving their goals. You understand the difference, right? Are you capable of having two thoughts simultaneously in your brain?

What next you are going to talk about some effective strstegy hitler has? You shouldn't recognize nothing about scummy people like Kirk

[–] TheFonz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yea, you should try to understand why some political figures are more effective over others. Do you not care about achieving anything? What are we doing all this for, man? I don't understand this point of criticism
