No idea who the fuck he is, but if this orange loser is spamming him. He must be an ok dude in my book.
He’s a twitch streamer that strongly supports the DSA, so he’s a Social Democrat. He has a few million viewers and has been helping DSA candidates this midterm cycle, so he became a big target of the media. He’s okay, the biggest benefit IMO is that he doesn’t do the typical socdem thing by endlessly condemning socialist countries and trying to separate himself from them, which is why he gets labeled a communist despite being a SocDem.
He labeled himself a socialist. He also talks out of both mouths, he calls himself anti Zionist but it’s currently bragging about his positive interviews Israeli media where he said he wants to build bridges with Zionists.
He’s a net positive in grabbing people from the far right and pushing them left. He’s a net negative when it comes to liberal Zionism and normalizing the colonization of Palestine.
If you’re a centrist or right leaning, by all means watch him. If you’re already a leftist, you can avoid the brainrot.
Which interview is this referring to?
https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026-08-24/ty-article-magazine/.highlight/hasan-piker-talks-hamas-anti-zionism-and-why-americans-are-fed-up-with-israel/000001a0-29fd-d293-a1e7-39fdf95c0000#comments-section
Read the comments if you want to see the mindset of haaretz readers. It’s a “liberal leftist” outlet that serves primarily to whitewash Israel and portray them as diverse.
Of course there’s nothing leftist about a settler colonial ethno-religious supremacist apartheid state, so…
There’s a paywall, so I can’t see the “building bridges” part, but the summary says this
So I kind of doubt “building bridges” was some centrist take. It was more likely about educating ignorant/confused American Zionists out of that mindset, if I had to guess based on what I know of him. If you have access to the article though, I’m happy to read a copy/paste of it.
I do agree that an “Israeli leftist” publication seems suspicious at best. However, Piker appears on other right-wing media all the time. Fox News, Peirs Morgan, etc. So I don’t think his giving an interview necessarily endorses them.
I’m not a Hasan viewer, I’m a communist. I am just more in-tune because I have to know what’s salient to do org work.
pretty much a solid strategy these days.
