This isn’t over yet so still time for a more complete analysis. I’m a little shocked at how much ground Hasan gave asmon. This premise they are arguing from is essentially that Palestine has inferior culture but Hasan is imploring asmon as to *why* that is. Asmon will say he thinks their culture is inferior, Hasan asks if asmon thinks this is justification for genocide, asmon says no. 

Hasan shouldn’t be accepting the ‘lesser culture’ framing at all imo, there should be wayy more pushback on that intial frame. We moved away from the term ‘third world’ because even *that* term was too negatively moralising. Then it moved between underdeveloped and global south. Imo if Asmon wanted to say that Palestinians have *some* aspects of their culture that are underdeveloped, that would be okay. Hasan could then come in and explain how Western colonial oppression of Middle Eastern material conditions has impeded their development. 

Then the argument/solution becomes easy, give them better *support* toward improving material conditions so that these aspects of their culture which are actively impeded have the room to develop. This also gets away from the better/worse framing. You don’t think you’re better than your poor friend (hopefully) because they aren’t as economically developed. Hasan touched on some of this, but he could have done more to shut down the better/worse framing imo.

The fact that Palestine is being compared to Saudi fucking Arabia is pissing me the the FUCK OFF. We don't fucking lynch people on Friday for not attending prayers like they fucking do in Saudi! Women can drive and do normal things in Palestine. A lot of the journalists in Palestine ARE WOMEN! 

Hasan is being WAYYYYY TOOO CHARITABLE TO THIS NAZI CUNT when he's aggressively (rightfully so) shut down chatters who've come in and said far, far less.

Yeah extremely charitable to an actual Nazi. He has definitely come down harder on libs than on this Nazi scum.

My normie partner was sitting next to me listening (he doesn't know who this Nazi scum is) and he kept rolling his eyes every other sentence. He had to Google who he was because he was disgusted at the racist and Islamophobic shit he was saying and asked me why Hasan was even platforming him?

Love Hasan, but I lose a bit of respect when he keeps platforming these nazi/Zionist scum. It's insulting to his viewers and the Palestinians in the chat.
