i suspect that this guy doesn't have the discipline nor the disposition needed to withstand these attacks upon him like others do (ie madeline pendelton) so i fully expect him to crash & burn and then checkout of the social spotlight and retreat w his millions into his hollywood mansion.

i also sincerely hope that he proves me wrong.

I blocked everything from the Atlantic a year ago. Deeply unserious, unprofessional, and untrustworthy. They are clearly propaganda for the class that needs to be guillotined.

This the dog zapper guy, right?

Corporations: steal tens-of-billions from employees who're just barely scraping by

Me/you: shoplifts can of soda/bag of chips which should be priced at $2-3 according to inflation, rather than it's listed price of $4-7

Atlantic Magazine: [hand on hip wagging finger in face] "How dare you? There are rules that govern society, young man/lady, this is simply unacceptable."

He's more susceptible to positive coercion than negative coercion.

Congrats, you fell for the smear campaign.

No you have that mixed up. He is the anti-zionist leftist in a MAGA body that gets smeared by elite libs and fash (also libs) for his ML political views. Really good propagandist imo

Atlantic Op-Ed next month:

Ignore the reports of Israelis using dogs to rape prisoners: Loud Internet Communist Electrocuted His Dog!

Everyone from .ml, grad and hexbear must be so jealous that he got the coveted title of Extreme Communist before them.

And then he is not even that extreme, so it's watering down the title.

/J

I've been convinced the primary purpose of The Atlantic, for at least 15 years, has been to literally craft the mindscape by which rich liberals maintain their wholly undeserved sense of moral and intellectual superiority.

You could just call it 'Hoity Toity Tut-Tut Tutorials For Your Next Social Outing'.

How does Hasan Piker get the title communist?
Has he even ever advocated for a socialist revolution?

Bro the social contract broke with citizens united

It was broken well before then

Ukraine deserved to be invaded because they speak the same language”

This sounds like one of those "filtered through an alternate reality" type accusations and I'd love to see the origin

1. You're shifting the goalpost because the initial claim about him shocking his dog is not true.
2. When do you think Crimea will be reunified with Ukraine? It's a realpolitik reality, not an endorsement.
3. He's never been pro Russia in this conflict, but has given the Russian perspective and is very anti nato despite that.

You don't care though, you've been fed the most controversial clips, usually out of context, shown to get you worked up against a leftist perspective.

You're just coping that hes done more praxis and has better politics than you

He's accessible, I'm not into his content but I see the appeal. As for the parasociality many people have with him, it's possible he was the beginning of their radicalization. I don't know enough about Hasan to engage one way or another.

There is missing an area even biger than wage theft. Tax evasion. When cooperations and rich people steal from the gouvernment.

Lol try harder halfwit

Bezos? You seem confused

Their (stupid) argument is that helping Hasan through twitch makes bezos wealthier. We're not allowed to make money or engage in anything owned by big capitalists even if there's no alternative or we're just helping the enemy. We should just will an independent economy into existence.

lol really cuz I’ve watched a lot of him saying straight up he doesn’t support Russian invasion of Ukraine he just also has further political analysis that’s not just “Putin is an evil commie that wants to kill every Ukrainian”. I’m not gonna link anything cuz I’m lazy today but you can’t lie to me about that shit dawg.

sidebar: I used to work in the dog grooming business, the amount of people who keep shockingly (pun intended) poor levels of care of their dogs & think it’s normal aren’t even half the standard Hasan has for that dog. That dog is pampered like old money. I can tell. You can see the health in a dog like that just by looking at it. Ppl keep doodles and huskies un-brushed in their 2nd floor / tiny ass apartments, literal dog shit all over the floor, & then say this rich dude abuses his dog 😂😂

do you mind me asking how u do make a living?

Who exactly is he exploiting?

and indirectly, from you, who relies on public infrastructure funded by taxes

I don't watch him, I just think avoiding platforms owned by billionaires is impossible for everyone and it makes no sense to judge him for that

I for one endorse stealing The Atlantic. Either by bypassing paywalls, or by just running off with a physical copy from a news stand!

Crazy thing is that's not even in the Wikipedia article. Assuming it's an AI summary, the AI just added that.

"Owning things is exploitative" lol cope

I mean, people say he speaks callously and then come at people like me about his dog. lol. There’s a huge difference between shocking and vibrating. You’d be shocked to see how many people have those prong collars on their dogs and they are too tight. That’s straight up abuse. When you talk like that it shows you don’t know anything about these tools, and you also care way too much about Hasan.

As someone who makes less than 20k a year, why do you care so much about someone else’s opulence? Follow up, if you don’t like him, Why do you comment about Hasan in general? Does it really matter that much?

I feel the same way about some of my favorite musicians, rappers especially, but at the end of the day it doesn’t do shit for me to pay mind to Trent Reznors paychecks. I like the media that he provides for me, I listen to it for free and that’s that.

Same with Hasan. It’s just entertainment. Getting your panties in such a twist over rich YouTubers being libbed up isn’t entertaining to me so I chose to listen to the media I like. Same goes for any lefty podcaster, deprogram, brace Belsen, empanada. They arent revolutionaries, they’re podcasters. Entertainment, media, and I treat them as such.

"Owning nice things is exploitative" jfc please read a book
