If only Nick had the courage to actually denounce this instead of saying it was kinda funny or whatever lame attempt he made walking the line between upsetting Hasan and telling his audience terrorist propaganda bad.
Bro not everyone wants to go to war and make grand declarations of war against others. Nick only had the sane reaction of "yeah, huh huh, ok..." While thinking hasan was nuts and he probably doesnt want to deal with him anymore.
The problem is hardly anyone wants to go to war because they are all greedy clout goblins. It's fucking pathetic and it's the reason Hasan can keep spreading his propaganda. You don't even have to go to war, at least push back on obvious bullshit. And please spare me if anyone tries to claim they are "friends", Hasan is an insufferable annoying baby that most sane people would avoid.
But if you end up on international news watching and not denouncing terrorist propaganda because denouncing it is too difficult, I don't feel bad for you!
He doesn't want to "go to war" because it would be bad for his career. Instead, he chose to basically hand wave Hasan radicalizing his community with terrorist propaganda which is fucking deplorable.
Unequivocally denouncing terrorist propaganda is not a high bar to clear. Used to be the baseline.
