Hasan is blowing up on TikTok over the detainment

It's when I see people here say shit like "he's a fed" and thinking he may be "making this up" that I'm reminded a lot of people here need to touch grass and do a bit of a reality check lmao.
Hasan is good. This is not surprising. He's doing well to talk about it and make noise about it.
- Yeah, too many on Hexbear got that "Too cool for school" ass energy that needs to be dispensed with asap
  
  Offshoot of the Western leftist mantra of nothing ever being holy enough.
  Hasan does good shit within the confines of the parameters he can exist within, and is a net positive for us, even if he doesn't share our views one-to-one.
  
  They don't like it that a guy can be both 'on the right side of history' and handsome, probably, lol.
- Hasan is a slightly-left-of-AOC streamer doing the "we can push them left" thing, where the "them" is imperialist social democrats/left liberals. The place at which his followers arrive is, "I will only reluctantly vote for Kamala Harris" and, "I wish I could vote for AOC 2028". He occasionally arrives aa socialist positions and language like a toddler finding a new toy. He learns the toy, plays with it for a while, talks about it on stream, and then discards it. He wants to be on the edge of mainstream. Can't let the toy get in the way of that.
  This is only good and useful in the same fashion that Bernie could be thought of as useful: some will be inspired by the toy, the appeal of possibility and pointing to (mostly) correct culprits of oppression, and then their disappointment at nothing changing may help radicalize. But many, probably the vast majority, will be led back to the Democratic party and liberalism, as Hasan neither offers them an onramp himself nor points anyone to next steps. He just returns to stream about electoral politics, Trump, the next elections, etc. And his audience follows him there.
  Hasan should be considered situationally useful. We should be there to pick up the disaffected, as he is not pointing them to us. And doing it through our organizations. If we are not, then he is not part of any pipeline to developing more socialists, but just creating more Bernie-adjascent electoralists that sit at home and will be susceptible to most propaganda.
  
  I think Hasan deserves more credit than that, I dont know anything about his content from 6+ months ago but these days he has the unique ability to mention that sometimes China good without a 4 hour but-at-what-cost qualifier, infact he openly mocks the trope that most liberals can't mention China at all without also stating the official NATO party line (Uyghur genocide, mao bad, tiny man square, etc.).
  
  I don't know how you arrive at this assessment on him but alright, that's fine by me. I don't agree at all with this analysis, it seems kinda fashioned out of nothing. It doesn't align with the few positions i've seen him take, at least recently. I never really watched before a couple months ago and most of that has been about the palestinian genocide, his anti-zionism and coverage of israeli crimes, so idk.
- Hasan is criticized for advocating for leading baby leftists back into the fold of the Democratic Party. And its not just “hexbear” who says this. We already had a similar situation where an obvious British agent was victimized due the genocidal policies of the empire.
  Hopefully hasan can grow from that injustice, but that suddenly doesn’t make him lenin 2.0.
  
  I don't think he's lenin at all. I think he does a good job agitating and educating, that's it. That's much more than most people can claim to do. I disagree that he leads leftists back into the democratic party, then again i'm not american, but that sounds nonsensical to me.
- They literally pulled me aside at TSA to inspect the blunt stakes in my tent bag that I was taking as carry on because it was way smaller than my big duffel bag. Funnily enough they only did this on my way BACK from going to Pine Ridge to meet with a bunch of former AIM elders.
- The only really dumb take I've seen is him saying that owning a credit card would make him bourgeois
- the people who need to touch grass are those who are on a first-name basis in their parasocial relationship with a streamer
  
  What? That's his name, i don't know what else to call him, mister piker? I barely watch a part of a stream once in a blue moon, sheesh.
  Maybe this is being said in a joking way but i'm gonna be real I really don't appreciate this kind of comment, weird thing to say and a weird way to say it, not the vibes i'm used to on hexbear.

Hasan is blowing up—
Not beating the terrorism allegations, Mr. Piker!
- now you say that but i saw
  Hasan is blowing
  and stopped there
  
  Volcelisopsec.

Ethan is so incompetent, he can't even sic the US government on a middle eastern guy named Hasan with leftist tendencies lol

Wonder if my radlib boss will notice or if she will just stick to theo von
- I wonder what your boss thinks about
  Theo Von's episode with Hasan a couple months ago
  Theo Von's episode with Candace Owens the week before that
  
  She doesn't think. She is a chameleon for any of the lib shit that comes along. She went to the women's march in DC. She has Notorious RBG "I dissent" stickers on her water bottle. She loves the daily slams in the news.
  She moves on so fast that if I brought up something she talked about last week, she would look at me like a dog noticing an ant on the floor

okay but he was obviously only taken aside because he kept triggering the metal detector with all his goofy ass thumb rings and pukashells and other assorted accessory bullshit.
- Feels like an Eric Andre bit. Going though TSA looking as Arab as you can and then having just a shitload if really white people stuff under a turban and robe. Setting of the metal detector cause of your roller blade wheels and tattoo equipment while looking super brown

Man with middle eastern/turkish origins detained in America over his politics. And they are left leaning. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner tbh. If you wanna be a turkish man in the spotlight you need to sniff American war criminal butt like that enes freedom nerd.

He's so handsome 🤩
- You can say he's "Glowing up" to

  not sure about the security of it though 🤷‍♀️
- Appreciate it
  
  No problem. In the future copy and open the link in a browser (I use Firefox on Android), then copy that link and delete everything after the question mark. You doxxed your tiktok account to anyone who opened the original tracking link fyi

Wait. Hold on. Do we know this actually happened? Were there other witnesses? He is, first and foremost, a celebrity and entertainer. He is a man in show business. And a left wing commentator being detained? That's an obvious ratings booster. How do we know this isn't just the stunt of an entertainer?
Just doing due diligence. How do we know this actually happened?
- is it really implausible that a dude named hasan is getting detained by tsa lol
  
  Implausible, no. But I'm also inherently skeptical of any unverified event that someone has the ability and strong financial incentive to invent from whole cloth. I don't care how perfect you think his politics are. Never trust anyone who tells you everything you want to hear.
- Not believing that a Middle Eastern man would be detained by American pigs is some mayo ass behavior
- He doesn't need to pull shit like this to get attention lol, have you seen him?
- He did call other people to let them know what was happening while he was being lead away, so unless you think they're all in on the conspiracy. He's already rich and extremely well known. He just interviewed Jean-Luc Mélenchon of the French parliament. There's no incentive.
  
  How would they know he's not just calling them and lying to them? He could have easily called or messaged people and said he was being lead away.
  Celebrities of his stature have performed stunts before. The incentive would be the very ratings explosion that he's getting now. A ratings explosions means a revenue explosion. More ad revenue. More interview opportunities. More sponsors and donations. He's making money off of this. And I would not try to argue that he's already so well-off he's above wanting more money. When has that ever actually worked?
- He did show the pamphlet DHS provided mentioning dhs.gov/dhs-trip on the stream.
  Edit :
  DHS themselves admitted there was an "inspection" but not much beyond that.
  When asked for comment about Piker, a Department of Homeland Security official called his account “nothing but lying for likes.”
  “Claims that his political beliefs triggered the inspection are baseless,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “Our officers are following the law, not agendas. Upon entering the country, this individual was referred for further inspection — a routine, lawful process that occurs daily, and can apply for any traveler. Once his inspection was complete, he was promptly released.”

  "Our officers are following the law, not agendas."
  Laws are written by politicians, who have political agendas; therefore, following the law is following a political agenda.
  
  Yeah come on! This has nothing to do with political beliefs! Nothing but a good old fashioned racial profiling going on over here!!
- Nah he wouldn't lie about this and does not need the boost. They would absolutely do this, and if he made it up it's actually very likely that some groyper in the administration would reveal that it never happened
  
  Right, hypothetically, could someone lie brazenly to the public about being questioned by TSA? Wouldn't there be a significant risk of being revealed to be a liar? And for what?
- He missed a day or two of streaming, which harmed his income.
- I find it believable because:
  Other journalists have already been arrested for their views on Palestine like Richard Medhurst and Ali Abunimah. Abunimah got pretty close to being disappeared into a black site in Switzerland.
  Some Muslim dude named Hasan being "randomly" selected for further inspection by TSA is a sadly mundane event that isn't even news.
  Hasan has appeared in various mainstream Zionist publications like Haaretz in a very "will no one rid me of this turbulent priest" way. I personally think Hasan needs to worry about security and have an escape plan to leave the US.
- If that’s the way you think, I’ll just say have fun living your miserable life. Boogeyman around every corner, don’t believe your eyes and ears, no real actions are ever taken, every word spoken to you criticized, everything a lie.
  lol
  As they say “nothing ever happens”.
- Even if he did, good for him. That's funny as hell and, dare I say... le good!
