>>2621398I think it's because Hasan is basically a "gucci liberal and socialist" like many in the US and merely a commentator.
He espouses all his political believes as a sort of entertainment product he can market and sell just like his general commentary. He figured out like many others that political entertainment and commentary is a valuable product he can sell, more than actual politics, because that's hard and boring.
You can say he is a self-made entrepreneur that just happens to produce politically related products in forms of streams.
Privately, all the things he does do not point to someone who actually takes his political positions or his commentary that seriously. He is fluid privately and does whatever makes sense to him in that moment and doesn't inconvenience himself too much.
He is a multimillionaire and amassed enough wealth to buy real estate in high end California, doesn't really do politics actively.
Even his personal background is solidly middle class and a bit removed from his espoused left positions. His dad is an ex-academic and in a board director position at a company now, he grew up wealthy enough to move around between Turkey and the US, which only middle class people can do.
It doesn't make him a typical figure that takes socialism that seriously.
