Interesting that weird commenters need to make this about Hasan Piker instead of the actually important matter being discussed.
It's almost like they have a problem with using honest language to describe Zionism π€
Found the guy downvoting everyone. :)
I don't have a problem with what he's saying here, but I don't care to hear it from him and as you can see from the responses, it's not a good look. People want to follow people politically that they think are good people.
You cannot attack the message so you have to attack the messenger. Conveniently when he speaks out against Zionism.
The classic Zionist tactic.
Hasan isnβt a bad person. You are falling for propaganda by Dan Saltman and Destiny, who are sex pests and genocide deniers
He abuses his dog and is the king of fake progressivism. He is a left wing grifter and Id be weary of his declarations.
Wary is the word you're looking for, not weary.
Again, the smear campaign that he shocks his dog is from the likes of Ethan "pedo_troll" Klein and Dan Saltman, a man who literally uses stalking and harassment to intimidate his victims.
It's not a good look to be showing you listen to those two bozos.
???? Nah I watched him shock his dog on camera, I have no idea who those guys are. He's a nepo baby millionaire no different then tucker Carlson. He doesn't display a single modicum of humility. If you're defending this demagogue, go right ahead.
Nah I watched him shock his dog on camera,
Haaaaaahahahahahahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That's how I know you're lying. Ciao!
Weirdo psycho can't accept reality, shocker.
Is Saltman a sex pest? I know he's a genocide denier and Epstiny is both, but I hadn't heard of Saltman being a sex pest.
Nah not a sex pest, he limits his crimes to stalking and harassing. He lets Destiny and Ethan Klein get all the sex pest crimes.
He needs to make this go away any way he can or it will continue to cause wedge issues.
Lol. Confidently incorrect. I'm not a guy and my instance has downvotes disabled. I couldn't even downvote you even if I cared enough to do so. Maybe more people other than myself disagree with your bad takes.
If you're choosing to focus on Hasan having a correct opinion that is concordant with his beliefs, then you're choosing to center Hasan instead of the message, when the message is much more important.
Most reasonable people find that behavior to be suspect, particularly when the issue at hand is about a genocidal ideology and you're choosing to focus on inconsequential online discourse about the person that is calling for action against it.
This is a progressive sub so I would guess everyone's already on the same page WRT his message, but if the message is truely important then it should be our best foot being put forward to spread it, and I don't see him being the best foot with this wedge issue lingering. it is what it is.
Why isn't he the best foot? Because of the right-wing propaganda? Then who? Whoever you choose, and before you name them, are you aware that, if that person ever becomes the center of the spotlight, they too will be smeared endlessly like Hasan currently is, right? You will NEVER find someone perfect, and if you do, they will lie about them. And then there will be people talking exactly like you are about Hasan right now, but about your favorite guy.
So, what's your point here? Your goal? To weaken us, to distract? Or are you genuine? Because all you are doing is keeping the loop alive with this attitude. I've seen it since always. You will never have "someone who is the right foot to spread the message", never. It's all of us, including you. We all have to do our part, do not be as lazy as a religious person, who lazily neglects the pain of the innocent by simply "praying for them" in the comfort of their bedroom with the air conditioner on. You better learn how to embrace human flaws and turn them into something constructive, or keep wasting our time. It's up to you.
It was thanks to Hasan that I, a random Mexican, still has hope for the "good" half of the USA. If it wasn't for him, I'd be killing Americans right now by funding the production of fentanyl. All I have to do is buy my weed from a certain cartel and convince my friends to do the same, but I didn't do it, because of him. It was him the only political influencer online that proved me Americans still got a chance and deserve to be saved. MAGAs are everywhere, including my country. Right-wing and fascism is not exclusive there.
We are all victims of our governments which sadistic crybullies and psychopaths from the Jeffrey Epstein class, who feel dopamine and serotonin when they kill/abuse/exploit/rape/control someone innocent or cause harm to others, have taken ahold of with ease because we are not like them, we don't kill for power. That's it. We just need the courage to remove them by force, put them in jail.
Do not make it easier for them, by keeping us "searching for Hercules" or whatever. Hasan is one of the greatest people in the frontline progressives and humanists have right now, and to deny that is to admit you're malleable and easy to corrupt and manipulate. I've done my homework of learning your language to communicate what we are going through, here in Mexico, the Iron River, we need to destroy it asap, but Americans won't let us. I have spent years watching multiple content creators, articles and news channels from the USA to listen to all the positions, and I am heavily disgusted by MAGA, and disappointed at the rest. Hasan has been the only one that shows the most humanist values, which are the ones I care the most about, idgaf about patriotism or nationalism, that shit is for the neanderthals, I care about the potential of humanity that has been taken away by the most greedy in the world. Your loyalty should not belong to your country or a religion or a political party, it should belong to humanity; hell and heaven are what we make of this planet to be, so, stop wasting our time with this pointless search, because we need action now, we are losing over 30,000+ innocent people every year to gun violence; guns we didn't even make.
The right wing is the target audience! That's the whole point. You can't even get to the sales pitch if you can't get your foot in their door.
Try posting this in a right wing sub and see what happens, and why. See if you can even get them to the message.
My goal this year is to vote in the midterms and to try and get at least two people I know to change their votes. I can't mention this guy because I'll just get shut down and nothing is gained.
We don't need PERFECT but we do need a guy who hasn't been accused with zapping his dog with no way for me to refute it, I can't sell that to my two people before the midterms I'll just get a door slammed on the sales pitch. He really needs to make this go away any way he can.
But Han supremacy is okππ
Did he say βHan supremacy is okayβ, or did he say that Tibet was historically a feudalist society with a cast system and slavery?
This dude is a right wing op intentionally trying to destroy left wing causes.
Thank you for always supporting Israel in every thread please check your inbox for the $7000
Thanks for reminding me of this thread. There is far to much glaze of this bootlicker so I'll just add that hes a genocide supporter who only views humans as tools to extract resources and build power for the state. His facade of "caring about human rights" only exists if he can use it as a weapon to attack undermine the left.
Oh and he is a self admitted rapist who attended multiple diddy parties.
All I know about this guy is that he allegedly zaps his dog.
So you know nothing. Letβs talk about Zionism being correctly defined as racism. Do you agree?
Ugh gross
Donβt worry, he doesnβt. Thatβs a smear campaign that you can ignore.
To expand on this, the guy who started the campaign admitted it. He got the idea from Ethan Klein allegedly contributing to his dog's death by feeding it cheese. People got really mad at Klein for that, so Dan Saltman decided to lie about Hasan Piker hurting his dog as well.
Itβs a relief to know some Lemmings are aware of Dan Saltmanβs role in all of this.
Toxic shitbag speaks. This isn't news.
What makes Hasan, a political commentator and human rights advocate, a toxic shitbag?
His advocacy for traditional masculinity, his toxic treatment of his own fanbase any time they say something he doesn't like, etc. There are better mouthpieces for leftist ideology, who deserve a chance way way more than Hasan.

Like who?
Do you prefer pro-genocide content creators like Contrapoints or Dead Domain if they are trans?
He has a large trans fan base and is a staunch advocate for trans rights in spite of looking the part of a meathead. He's pretty respectful about disagreements that aren't disgusting in nature (racism, homophibia, etc). I think you probably just have a clipped caracature in your mind that likely doesn't match well with reality.
I don't care what other things he's doing that might be good. Other people are also doing good things while not doing the bad things. The image of him I have in my mind was formed by just watching his videos and seeing the way he behaves. I'm tired of his fans coming around to talk the same boring meaningless shit and gaslight me every time I say anything bad about their golden boy. I'm going to just start blocking you all on sight.
Considering that the first of your two complaints was entirely incorrect, it sounds like your entire complaint is that he yells at Twitch chat a lot. You're completely within your rights to dislike him for that, but it seems pretty petty compared to the anti-genocide activism that is the subject of this post.
