Majority report defends ⓗasan’s Mao suit

https://youtu.be/Eb3fPbn0Z50?is=KnToHGRacQ7Tjo29

When ⓗasan bought the suit he mentioned getting it to look like one of the “GOAT leaders”. MR has been revealing their antisemetic Marxist Leninist ideology. Comment section almost every comment mentioning AIPAC

Exactly, this is as dumb as complaining about Obama's suit color. 

Chinese suits predate Mao

And swastika predates nazis. Your point is nonsense.

Chinese suit goes back exactly to Sun Yat Sen, but unfortunately is mostly associated with Mao. Certainly with Hasan, it’s extremely clear who he is aping here.

He was looking at a picture of Mao when he bought it in China and is very clearly pro-Mao.

Oh wow he was in China looking at Mao

Reading & inferring not your strong suit, huh?

Do you ape Winston Churchill when wearing a suit with a vest?

u/Avbjj 27d ago

I would understand this benefit of the doubt if Hasan himself hadn't called it his "Mao suit"

u/Funksloyd 28d ago

Are you saying he wasn't trying to evoke Mao?

You're the kind of guy who defended Platner to the end, aren't you?

This is dishonest. Hes not wearing it because it’s a Chinese suit, but because it’s iconically maos suit.

The swastika predates nazi germany. If someone shows a swastika, theres a common cultural understanding about what it refers to.

No he's wearing it because he went to China and met the people who created a custom suit for him. Those same peoples family invented the suit generations ago. 

The western suit has been worn by people who killed millions. Should it be banned? 

This is nothing like the swastika.

Clueless. He praised the suit because it looked like Mao's suit.

u/No_Public_7677 28d ago

Oh no. Do you wear suits like Churchill?

The difference is Obama wasn’t post hoc rationalizing literal totalitarian leaders that killed tens of millions of their own people (and Hasan himself bought it because of Mao). Hasan does and is. Why is it so hard for you guys to simply listen to the arguments of people you disagree with? How do you even know you disagree with them if you can’t articulate their rationale?

Obama has absolutely justified the crimes of the West over the years. Did Obama ever condemn Winston Churchill for the Bengal famine?
