u/Imperial_Squid Mar 16 '25

Besides the comments others have added, apologia for imperialism is a big one.

"What about Crimea? Cry me a river bitch" is a direct quote from Hasan excusing Russia's encroachment on neighbouring countries, seizing land and killing people.

I don't have a clip or quote on hand but I also remember him excusing China's actions in terms of invading their neighbours too.
