(Yes, right now it's just me making everything)
Editor's Note: My edits were all made to keep the video on one, central topic by editing together relevant commentary from many parts of Hasan's streams to create a storyline that is still followable by the viewer. I also edited in commentary of my own in places, in addition to relevant external information that improves the viewing experience. A lot of edits were made for comedy purposes, or to enhance the comedic timing of certain beats, but never to misrepresent Hasan's point of view.

As someone from a NATO-Andy country, this kind of surveillance was widespread even outside of territories under direct US control. My dad was denied a job because his ex-wife was a suspected communist, but when the government in a scandal was forced to release their (completely illegal) surveillance files, his file was unsurprisingly empty.
And our idiotic politicians want more surveillance 🤮
Puerto Rico deserves independence, or at the very least statehood.
No statehood. Independence is want we truly desire.
Yup, as much as I love shitting on Europe, stuff like Operation Gladio was a thing too
If that happens, Puerto Ricowould be destroyed, it is being part of USA and even so they have to improve many things image being an independent country? I want the statehood
@@holaatodos6617Why would they be destroyed?
I genuinely appreciate Hasan for explaining why anti colonial black nationalism is not the same as white nationalism. It's crazy that there are "leftists" on RUclips actually saying that.

"leftists" they'd be liberals?
didn’t vaush say something like that
@@garfieldenjoyer2543you bet your ass he did lol
I always think it's pretty ironic how the US criticizes the China-Taiwan situation but can't see the parallels with Puerto Rico and treat us like second rate citizens
They probably do it cause we're not taught about US territories
They don't even recognize Taiwan as a country for that matter. The US was always about "do as I say, not as I do"
China has the right to control Taiwan. USA shouldnt be near Puerto Rico.
Honestly, the Taiwan-Puerto Rico parallel is fairly weak. For one, Puerto Rico is not governed by government in exile that lays claim to the entirety of the mainland US’s territory.
Puerto Rican aren't Spanish and Hispanic and Latino until given back to Spain and getting independence only from Spain
I don’t know how anyone could have any shred of pride for the US
At least some of it's still pretty.
@@conwaytwittyer2667don't worry, we're building a pipeline through them.
Brainwashing
Per capita we have some of the most wealth. We have other problems but at least we have problems with money (relative to many other countries)
@@somethingginterestingg4275The words of my Brazilian friend: "North America is just South America with a Gucci belt".
as someone from puerto rico its satisfying and actually impressed hw someone would dedicate time for PR
I haven’t started the video so I don’t know how good Hasan’s commentary is, but damn it sucks that this is the video about PR that he chose to react to. It would be really nice if people like Hasan and other USamerican leftists amplified boricuas’ voices instead of listening to gringos talk about our history. Idk, it sucks that we’re always an afterthought in people’s minds, especially those that realize how evil the US is and that have such a big USamerican audience.
Edit: Don Pedro didn’t get to graduate valedictorian of his class because his professors didn’t want a boricua to be valedictorian. They delayed his exams so he wouldn’t be able to complete his work in time.
Also, this is kinda irrelevant, but my mom had a carpeta.
Lastly, I want to mention that I see diasporicans in the comment section talking shit about independence so I want to add my two cents to the conversation as an independentista. People often say that Puerto Ricans don’t want to be free because the “statehood” option has won most plebiscites, but they fail to consider why that is. They don’t take into consideration all of the anti-independence propaganda we’ve been fed by the local and federal governments, la ley de la mordaza, el carpeteo, how many nationalists have been killed and/or tortured, police brutality, etc. We’ve been programmed to think that we’d perish without our oppressor “helping” us. It’s by design and I wish more people (specifically estadistas) would give it more thought as to why they fear independence so much.
El machete caerá sobre las palmas aguantando los cocos del Imperio Americano.
The US spreads lies and propaganda everywhere...it weird to me that people are still confused why China has such strict info control...I mean it sucks but I get it...also everyone should want Puerto Rico independence
Their fear is a relic of the Cold War, they shout "CUBA! VENEZUELA! CASTRO Y MADURO! SANDINISTA" whenever someone disagrees with their right-wing uber-capitalist views.
Es la misma mierda de siempre. Casi nunca van a escuchar nuestras voces. Es bien desafortunado, pero es la cosa que siempre pasa. La única manera en la que ellos van a saber de nosotros y nuestra historia es si un gringo blanco habla sobre ella. Ahí es cuando deciden escuchar aunque siempre tratamos de hablar.
The last time the US was really cracking down on independence was over 30+ years ago. The main/most dangerous nationalist were also let out of prisons around the same and just went back to Puerto Rico.
Hey everyone, I hope you enjoy this video from our non-government affiliated friend!
Is he really part of the cia?
@@Elllie_Was_Takenhe helped kill J.F.K.
@@Elllie_Was_Takenhe helped Reagan with the terrorist arms deal
@@Fleshdeficiency the guy had it coming. lets be real
@@Elllie_Was_Taken of course he is not. its a joke, because he doesnt say America bad every second
if anyone is interested in reading bout the topic there is a book called “war against Puerto Ricans” the video is just what the book covers. the book has more details
amazing book
That timer bar is goated😂
Low key wish every integrated ad had to do that
@@HasanReactionsfanTwo 100% agree omg
feels good watching CIA debrief from Agent Harris himself
I now watch all hasanabi videos zoomed into kaya's screen 🐶
Free Puerto Rico!! No Statehood!! Viva Puerto Rico Libre!!
The majority population wants statehood though, they voted for it. It is the US congress preventing them from becoming a state lmao.
You speak fake Spanish
@fnf So does Mexico too...
@@greysnake2903 Mexico got independence from Spain Puerto Rico didn't
Finally someone talking about PR
Did Johnny Harris put an image of Residente while saying "...what it means to be american" ?
Long live are hero Albizus Campos.
I hope Hasan has the right take regarding Puerto Rico...
Edit: pretty good takes, I still wonder what he wants for PR and I hope he support independence because some lefties and neo-libs see us as a political band-aid (tWo mOrE sEaTs iN cOngResS!!! dEm iSLaNd!!! 🌐🌐🌐).
reminds me of bob catching melanoma
The crazy thing is most puertoricans dimt want separation from society Spain we were a viceroyalty we had the same rights as Spanish people but the Americans took that from us
We need our independence 🇵🇷🕊️
Que Viva Puerto Rico y Que Viva la Voz de Pedro
Albizu Campos!
So much ignorance about Puerto Rico...every Tom, Dick and Harry want to come and dictate what we are, what we should do and what our history is and what we should believe. After 125 years of being a Colony and being bombarded with propaganda and prejudice and being treated like handouts, the most powerful country in the world has not been able to dominate this small island.....we continue to be Puertorican and have not assimilated into what we are not by choice, even if many claim they are assimilated it is only superficially....we are Spanish wheather some like it or not...and by the way...we are not alone like many think and the world is watching..we have a motherland who is backed by EU. In the long or short run...Justice will Prevail....
LETS GOOO 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Assessing the morality of different types of nationalism largely depends on its purported goals. White Nationalism intends on making the United States into a white ethnostate. In contrast, black nationalism was a separatist movement predicated on creating an African American nation within the United States. One necessitates genocide, the other does not. Not all nationalisms are created equal.
Yes but they want this African American nation to be black only, this imply doing ethnic cleansing on a level never seen since the ethnic cleansing of Germans by the USSR.
did hasan say anything of value in this? Like if you cut this down so it was actually fair use this video would be like 1 minute
I love that everything always comes back to NATO for Hasan and his chat. Like, where did that comparison even come from?
Because NATO “leftists” like Vaush uncritically support US imperialism?
Oh dear I can't hear audio
Oh never mind! RUclips finished processing it seems
You're too fast! RUclips likes to publish videos a bit before they're actually done processing sometimes, everything should be okay if you try again in a minute or two :)
Edit: It seems I was too slow lol
Johnny Harris is my favorite CIA operative
India always had Hindu Nationalist roots. Even while their nationalist movement was anti-british. Nationalisms, as ur saying, aren’t simply “good if against oppression” “bad if oppressing”.
Revolutionary Nationalism is not in any way, shape or form, comparable to the modern Hindu Nationalism that has taken root in India over the past 30 or so years.
@@blkrn6185 Uhh yes it is lmao. Do u know the history of hindutva and Savarkar? Hindutva literally stems from trying to imagine a national community that is worthy of taking over the mantle of sovereignty and authority over the Indian subcontinent AFTER they kick the brits out.
The mainstay of Hindu nationalism in Indian politics over the last 30 years is a result of reactionary revolutionary nationalism. To say they’re incomparable Is silly. Don’t ideologically blind yourself into binary thinking. Anti-oppression movements can lay the ground work to be taken to far if they’re not critically analyzed just as much as the systems we detest.
It’s just silly and anachronistic.
@@blkrn6185 who were the nationalists who killed Ghandi? I don't like them
Where you from? You look like a guy I knew from some Arab country. Just curious
"some arab country" 😂
As a Puerto Rican living in the US mainland, I am an advocate for Puerto Rico to become the 51st state and thus receive basic constitutional rights, federal funding for natural disasters, and increased cultural diversity and education. Did you know that PR only received 6% of what Florida and Texas got fiscally for hurricane relief (PR got 6 million dollars in aid and recovery compared to 100 million for each of the states- despite the fact that Puerto Rico's damage costs were much greater to that of either state)?
Have some dignity please
@@DJTCify Everything he said is valid what the fuck are you talking about
@@DJTCify I do... I would love for Puerto Rico to become independent, but I do not think that the island could thrive on its own due to geographical and political disadvantages. It is time to recognize the imperialistic nature of the US and move forward with full statehood. Same as Hawaii.
Well, duh...when the US will ever care about PR 🙄
The answer is never
@JNB0723 The same as Hawaii is one of the worst outcomes for Puerto Rico. Just an amusement park for affluent white people who will gentrify the whole place beyond livable for anyone else. Puerto Rico can do fine on its own if allowed to trade with the rest of the world, and the decolonization and deprivatization of its natural resources. The US should pay reparations to PR and pay heavy rent for having a military base there.
Also free Cuba.
What is bothering you? Taxes, cheating girlfriend, no job? In P.R. we know that past, today's that bothers us. You are praying on other people material.
Hasan complaining about colonialism - has a human size poster of Queen Elisabeth in the back 😆 what are you, intelligent? Allow some skepticism.
You can absolutely be anti Batista and anti Castro at the same time, they don't counsel each other out. It's like comparing ronald reagan and george bush. You can absolutely be against both and it makes absolute sense. It's like saying how can you not like this dictator and not like this other dictator, it's still a dictator!
First
2 secs ahead of you buddy, sorry
Also, self-liking? Cmon
At the same time you dare criticize in the slightest Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans themselves will say some like "at least im american, not a monkey from (insert latín American country you are from)
TFW you generalize an entire ethnicity for the actions of a few Puerto Ricans.
No one says ts
Lets have a look at the standard of living in close by islands. Haiti? Dominican Republic? Cuba? Im sure none of their inhabitants would want to live in the horrible US run Puerto Rico lol
You mean the countries the US has destroyed already, the reason we have so many immigrants at our border locked up in concentration camps...
Not sure if this is sarcasm or not but PR it’s a a lose lose situation regardless of the outcome, statehood wouldn’t make the situation better and independence at this point would but us so far behind it would be devastating. We would always be seen as second class citizens even with statehood, I would love to see what Hawaiians would tell Puerto Rican about statehood though.
Bro just pointed to islands that were devastated by multiple empires pillaging their wealth and resources and said “look, look they’re not better off by themselves!”
Bro’s really pulling a “oi bruv, we civilized the savages yes we did.”
Puerto Rico is rightful American land
It's not
rightful american colony but china and russia bad 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
💀
Well then the USA is rightful British land
Hassan hates Puerto Ricans by the way he covered this. He didn’t even talk about Puerto Rican anarchism.
😮💨
Or the macheteros, I’m tired of the half assed reporting of our island
@@beanboi5068 Puerto Ricans aren't Spanish and Hispanic and Latino until given back to Spain and getting independence only from Spain your Americans now it's not your island is the USA island
It's always funny seeing people call the US an empire, or just general shit talking about how we're somehow the worst country on earth after watching these videos lol. My dad is Puerto Rican, his entire side of my family is. Still all love the US and love living here. Puerto Rico doesn't need independence, they would be way worse off without the US government's help.
Some bad history isn't going to change how I view the country. If we're going by the logic of "did bad thing in past = horrible country" then every country on Earth is unlivable and a hellhole.
Lol
Dont try to argue with them. Hasan hates the US so much he wont let that slide. America is bad even if they cure cancer tomorrow.
My friend, the US is a special kind of evil. It isn't just some other country, it's the global hegemon. The sorry state of the world is the way it is because of ruthless exploitation by and for American interests.
Nice one👍
Glowie shit right here
