    Why did you even post the video if you don’t know what it is? Most of the video is Hasan defending the actions of Ansarallah, Hamas, Palestinian resistance, and also China. He’s disproving hasbara talking points. That’s why it’s 9 hours because he has to take time to disprove every lie from Israel that Ethan has said. He’s makes normal people have positive opinions about resistance movements.

      I literally watched around three hours of the video, I simply just didn’t know what the fundraising was for, I assumed it was for Palestine considering the subject, but I never bothered to check

      Trust me I’m fully aware of the granular details of this saga

        Okay. Sorry for suspecting that you didn’t. I am a little bit annoyed by number of people who commented that they didn’t watch it at all.

        Maybe they didn’t choose a Palestinian charity this time because there is a full aid block on Gaza for the past 65+ days. I think it’s basically impossible for aid to get into Gaza right now.

        Cancer research is also a valid cause.

          It’s cool, alot of older millennials on this site simply don’t take streaming or streamers seriously, which I get

          Frankly tho, I think that attitude has to change; Hasan, Mike from PA, Badempanda, these people are quickly acquiring enormous audiences and radicalizing hundreds of thousands of people in real time…hell iShowSpeed isn’t even political and he borderline single-handily dismantled a decade worth of US propaganda about China in a few short weeks

          It makes the podcast era from eight years ago look like a joke in comparison, we got to take this stuff seriously

            I can’t speak for the others but I take it about as serious as I take the ‘podcast era’, which is not at all

            infotainment doesn’t foment class consciousness, organizing does. simple as
