It doesn’t matter who he is or what he’s done, the article should have the merit to stand without needing celebrity endorsement period.
A millionaire celebrity that I coincidentally agree with on a specific topic isn’t proof that he’s well informed nor is he an arbiter of moral justice since he has a elective degree or because he donates. We need to work together on solving the problems instead of looking up at people that profit from talking about them.
We are our own people and we make our own opinions. It is good to question people’s credibility, or in your words, “denounce” others so that we can collectively become more informed.
What article? The post is just a clip from his stream.
You’re right though, agreeing with someone isn’t proof that they’re well informed. No one’s claiming he’s the arbiter of moral justice though. It feels like you’re being overly dismissive because you don’t seem to be aware of how informed and qualified he actually is, because you think he’s too rich to be your ally or something.

Yeah Hasan would probably agree with this too, considering all the boots-on-the ground campaigning, door knocking, and other types of activism he does and helps organize.
And sure, denounce was the wrong word. My bad. I should have said “dismiss”, because that’s more accurate as to what you’re doing. You’re right that it’s good to question others, but it’s also good to recognize when you’re being dismissive of people that are genuinely good sources of information and leadership.
