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.

I haven't watched it, but whytf is Hasan giving him any type of platform.  Just call him the piece of shit he is and tell him to stfu if he responds.

OK I tried watching some of it and had to stop. Asmon can suck a fuck.

Hasan being charitable once again to a massive, racist POS that doesn't deserve it (just because they're a friend of a friend, when that same charity wouldn't be offered to anyone else), and never learning. Look at how it always ends up (Ethan Klein, XQC, Aiden Ross).

Yeah, tried watching it. Fuck that shit. Hasan knows better than to deal with that idiot.
