    Hasan is a selfserving dickhead who poisons the well for most people not already into leftist politics. He refuses to be truly critical and reflective of stuff on his own side.

    This kind of message needs to reach the “normies” to sway public opinion and put pressure on Israel to stop. But at the same time, with an 5 minutes google you see the dude brings Houthis onto his stream because “they’re just like Luffy.” That’s was not journalism, it’s was propaganda for clicks and views.

    I see some of same bullshit the right pulls being done by him and his community. And I’m saying this as someone who agrees with most of his takes.

      Ah so you need grifter Liberals to say it and not someone who had the correct take since the beginning.

      Just admit Hasan was right all along and move on. No need to take even more Ls

        Take it however you want to fit your narrative. Hasan himself said a thousand times at the beginning of his career that his objective was to be a gateway for normies to easily get into leftist politics. He lost sight of that along the way, and I blame both him and his community for it.

          Lost sight by speaking out against a genocidal Apartheidsstate at a time almost nobody dared to do because they were afraid to get cancelled for it? Such a poser that Hasan guy.

            Yes, keep going and doing purity tests, you guys are doing an great job at stopping… nothing I guess? As a non-American, I never thought I’d see the American empire crumble from within like this, but unfortunately, I understand how it’s happening.

            Have fun.

              Genocide support is a pretty good place to draw a red line. Which encompasses most content creators… not named Hasan Piker.
