Picking a fight with Hasan Piker while midterms are gearing up is the dumbest fucking idea. The consultant class really is a problem when it comes to meaningful change. (TikTok screencap)

Any article, or does OP just imagine everyone here knows what the fuck this is about and who this person is?
Considering how much American politics seeps through online spaces you’d have to be living under a political rock to not know who Hasan Piker is. He’s one of the biggest leftist, like actually leftist not “neoliberal leftist”, political commentator online. As for what the meme is referencing, it’s this.
Who is the guy in the picture and why did his tiktok get screen capped though?
That’s Walter Masterson, a comedian and satirist that produces a lot of progressive content. He does stunts like going to republican rallies to mock their political rhetoric.
Oh, that I have no fucking clue. I just assumed that’s a random nobody in the image and the person we’re talking about is the referenced “Twitch Streamer”, Hasan Piker.
Picking a fight with Hasan Piker
Dude is insanely problematic…
Saying the party should toss values aside and just shut up and accept him because he’s twitch famous is fucking wild.
He’s a fucking nepo baby that got famous working for his genocide denying uncle. If he held half the values he claims to, he wouldnt have a multimillion dollar mansion and spend all his time raising his “brand awareness”.
Like, for people who actually listen to this douche, take a second and think about what you hear more about:
-
The candidate he’s supposed to be helping here
-
How Hasan is smarter and knows more than any politician
You little fuckers are falling for the same grift boomers did with trump
Timing is problematic. Somehow everyone comes out against him right away? Right after he takes medical aid to Cuba? This has Bernie 2016 vibes to it. Gotta kill the progressive momentum before it gets too big.
lol
oh yeah hasan is just like bernie
lol
Two people can suck at once. Maybe even three or more.
Care to elaborate on those supposed values us supporters are throwing aside?
Normally when someone asks a question, you’re more likely to get your question answered if you answer theirs first.
This is a part of basic social interaction often taught in preschool:

You asked a question? Looks to me like you just made assumptions and spouted off about how smart you are, ironic really. Classic pot and kettle, which is always funny. Hasan isn’t perfect, but the dude has way more good takes than bad ones. I’m guessing he flamed you once and you’ve had a vendetta since?

Hassan is a charlatan
Charlatan or not it’s still fucking stupid to go after a twitch streamer instead of IDK going after the fascist administration. The only reason they’re going after Hasan is because Hasan is presenting an alternative to the “our hands are tied” politics of the democratic party. An alternative would be fine if it also served the corporate overlords of the democratic party but because his alternative is left-wing populism (you know, the stuff Mamdani ran on) it’s no good. Can’t give people hope for a better America.

-
A candidate invited Hasan to a rally.
-
A few Dems said that’s not a good idea because he’s not helping candidates, he’s just increasing his own views.
-
Hasan and his fans never ever mention the candidate Hasan is supposed to be supporting
-
They change the entire conversation to “Dems don’t like Hasan”.
Do you legitimately not understand this is exactly what people warned about?
Is the twitch brain rot really so bad you can’t realize Hasan is proving everyone right?

Charlatan or not
charlatan
the alternative of the charlatan is not good and nothing like mamdani
I know nothing about the dude except his fucking shock collar dog and that’s allI need to know that I’m being manipulated somehow.
“Here’s some dirt we dug up on the guy, which apparently renders all his opinions invalid”
Edit: Ah shit and look at me going exacerbating the problem like a fucking drone
Oh 100%; there’s definitely some foul play and slandering going on. Still, I’m not happy with the way he handled the Cuba flotilla, I’m not happy with his uncritical endorsement of Platner and Sanders.
The only thing I know about that Hassan guy is that he uses a shock collar on his dog. Thought that was what he was best known for after all the memes
Doesn’t he shill for the Kremlin?
He’s a bit tankie but not that tankie
hasan uses a shock collar to keep his dog confined to a small area, he will do it to anything living he deems beneath him. Fuck hasan.
What, like an invisible fence situation? Aren’t those insanely common in suburbs and the like?
Nah, there’s a clip of his dog tripping on something and yelping while his hand was in a weird spot and people love to dog pile on him.
It doesn’t help that he has the worst PR instincts when crises happen.
I’m not a fan, but think he’s a net positive. He clearly excuses abuses by China, but also does useful analysis of current events in a historical context with actual analysis usually. It’s not like his community is an echo chamber either, they’re constantly shitting on him and calling him out of things, but as a whole they stick around, listen and get more involved with progressive causes.
i use one on my wife and she’s not complaining
