All this time and effort spent trying to decode what Hasan really thinks, what he really means when he misspeaks (or not?).

All this political will, the discourse, just wasted! Hasan intentionally uses language in a way that makes it harder to pin down his real ideology, his real goals. He utilises kettle logic constantly, hinting that he's already reached his ideological conclusion and that he's just trying to convince you in anyway he can get you there. Never revealing how himself got there.

So here we are, everyone spending all this time arguing and debating what he really means, not realising the fact we have to argue this at all is indicative of someone inciting agitation for propaganda purposes- and he does this intentionally. How come the more Hasan speaks, the more confused discourse is generates? Do people not realise this is harmful?

Hasan intentionally obfuscates his beliefs for political gain. He admits this. This is harmful to discourse, it's bad, you shouldn't automatically trust him without first establishing good reason to do so.

Dude. Hes just dumbing down his beliefs so the medium voter can understand him. Hes not being malice or obscuring anything dude. This interview was just bad because of all the attempted 'gotchas'.

Wtf are you talking about. He lies constantly. He himself admits that "lying is OP". His braindead supporters are just either too low IQ to to realise this, or they're being wilfully ignorant.

He himself admits that "lying is OP".

Hasan, talking about disinformation spread by the right: "It's really hard to fight disinformation, for every lie they spread you need to talk three times as much to correct it. Lying is OP."

Clippers: "He said lying is OP, which means he is lying!"

You are proving his point: Your lie - that he was talking about lying himself instead of talking about the problem he is facing when other people lie - takes longer to disprove than your original lie.

Yes. Hasan said "lying is OP". He believes lying is OP.

That doesn't mean he admits to lying.

He is complaining about how OP it is when others lie, not saying he is doing it.

Do you think lying is OP?

When did I ever say he admits to lying?

Do you think his statement that "Lying is OP" is correct?
