I understand and respect this reasoning and becoming an ML definitely made me be less quiet about my already existing opinion that prostitution is a tragedy and refuse to let liberals wokescold me for being a “swerf” or whatever.
However…when this headline read “rapist,” it conjured a very, very different image in my head than “one who has hired prostitutes.” The two are seldom morally comparable. Similar to how while work under capitalism may be reasoned to be slavery, we don’t compare mom 'n pop store petite bourgeoisie to Jeff Bezos or to slave traders.
I don’t watch Hasan and have never been particularly interested to, he seems like a dunce in many ways to me, but additionally I will also say the guy is a great entrance into the ML radicalization funnel. He has always been further to the left than other mainstream “leftist” personalities and doesn’t push the same insane, damaging anticommunist “tankie” or otherwise anti-AES brainrot (at least as far as I’ve seen). I’ve had several IRL times where I was selling China or truth of the Ukraine war to “leftists,” and a solid 3 times that it actually worked (out of, like, 4 or 5), the person in question was a big Hasan fan. I would much rather him be the #1 political streamer on Twitch than any of these other ghouls, I think he softens up people who might be destined for anticommunism to our tendency.
No disrespect intended comrade, just disagreement.
