Is that why the Republicans blasted a photo of him at their convention?

Trump is a terrible liability for humanity.
Says the guy that has raped and killed infinitely more men women and children mathematically then piker ever has
That’s kind of a mixed compliment. I’m pretty sure Piker hasn’t raped and killed any men, women, or children.
Yes that was the implication. That’s why I said infinitely more mathematically. Even one is infinitely more than zero. And for Trump it’s easily in the hundreds if not thousands
And for Trump it’s easily in the hundreds if not thousands
If we’re talking just deaths, with his closure of USAID, reductions in health insurance, cuts to CDC, his covid response, etc. Trump has been the cause of millions of avoidable deaths.
Lancet estimates that Trump’s USAID closure alone will kill ~5 million children under the age of five by 2030.
To be fair, USAID is also partially responsible for killing millions. It’s a deliberate tool of soft-power that often gets funneled into the hands of pro-US dictators for military equipment, etc. The role of USAID is to make imperialism seem better.
Kind of a weird way to word it regardless
You say that like anyone on the fediverse is normal 😋. Dividing by zero always gives infinity. It may be mathematical and nerdy. But it’s also true and expositive. Though to be fair even Charles Manson was an amateur compared to Trump
I’ll admit, it’s been a while since I’ve mathed, but iirc, one is one more than zero
When dividing by zero as one would to compare the tolls. One is infinitely more than zero. So considering Trump is verifiably responsible for hundreds if not thousands already and potentially millions in the future. That Infinity is only getting larger by the moment.
Ultimately it comes down to the fact that. Anyone that can excuse pedophilia, rape and murder. Is someone that nobody should give a fuck what they think or say.
Suck it Trump. You are the worst human to have ever been shit out of a womb.
Does Trump even know what a Communist is?
To be fair, Hasan is a Communist, and has called himself as such in the past. He uses the Progressive and Democratic-Socialist labels more these days for the same reason he wears suits now, to look less threatening to the audience seeing him on TV.
Hasan is more of a communist-sympathizing social democrat. His strategy is overwhelmingly reformist.
At most you might say he’s a Democratic Socialist, because his goal is still to eventuate the abolition of capitalism. He’s a Communist who knows the best available action is political mobilization. He’s certainly not a SocDem who only wants to reform capitalism. He’s openly spoken in favor of worker revolution, but he’s also aware that such a thing isn’t possible in America, at least at this moment.
Democratic socialists are social democrats in practice, considering it is impossible to reform capitalism into socialism. Revolution is absolutely possible, but it isn’t something you trigger, it is a response to crisis with an organized revolutionary class. We need to organize so that crisis turns to revolution.
You’re saying what Hasan says, idk what else to tell you. He’s not trying to reform capitalism into socialism, he’s organizing a political base that will be capable of turning the coming political crises into a productive Communist movement.
I disagree that he is succeeding in that by going through the DSA and focusing so hard on electoralism. It’s important to understand the necessity of democratic centralism and consistent revolutionary rhetoric, because otherwise we fall into the same problems as the second international and the SPD.
Democratic Centralism…? Oooooh you’re a Tankie, I got it. I just noticed the domain.
Go back to your HoI4 campaign bud, and let the grownups do actual politics.
Does he ever know anything?
He doesn’t even know what time it is
If Trump says Hasan is bad for Democrats, that means he must be fantastic for Democrats.

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.
currently bragging about his positive interviews Israeli media where he said he wants to build bridges with Zionists
Which interview is this referring to?
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
In his first interview with Israeli media, left-wing streamer Hasan Piker tells Haaretz that October 7 must be seen in the context of the Israeli occupation, that even liberal Zionists should be ‘named and shamed,’ and explains why most Americans just don’t like Israel anymore
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.
Stop trying to make Hasan Piker relevant
Every single headline about him could be about a progressive candidate.
That’s why neoliberals and Republicans live him. He takes up valuable real estate in people’s minds so they’re not talking about progressive candidate.
It’s hard to tell who’s doing it intentionally and who has twitch brainrot.
Hssan is supporting progressives candidates that’s why they are talking about him badly every day
He’s a proxy. They can use him no matter what, if a candidate they feared the most drops out or is defeated in primaries or dies or is removed they can just connect the next one to Hassan like he’s kevin bacon.
What the fuck are you talking about, and who is “they”?
Reread your own comment I responded to, and figure it out.
He’s relevant, there is no “try”, it’s done.
Why stop there? What about Mr. Beast’s opinions?
They literally just had Logan and Jake Paul give a speech at the Pentagon, at a time when Trump is posturing like he’s going to escalate the Iran War.
You may not care about a bunch of Twitch streamers but the fucking Executive Office of the United States does. These are very stupid times.
Yeah who gives a shit about a streamer?
Right? Who gives a shit about some NBC streamer?

I wouldn’t call Trump a centrist
The user I replied to is the centrist and he is agreeing with genocide trump in trashing Hassan who is platforming progressive Democrats candidates
I’m the kind of dumb liberal who gets power fifty percent of the time so you might want to show a little respect.
You wins fifty percent of time and failed each time leading to republicans winning after each 1 or 2 elections . You trash the progressive but when they wins you try to steal the wins and act like you never tried to sabotage it
When have progressives ever won?
Zohran?
Why?
He’s literally just some twitch streamer
Pretty sure algorithms are pushing him to make democrats look stupid
And Tucker Carlson is just some youtube streamer.
Joe Rogan is some spotify streamer.
Your point is a point without a point.
Many twitch streamers are influencial. That’s why many progressive candidate talked to him and that’s why establishment are going to fox news the media wing of the fascists to trash him. Establishment Democrats makes Democrats stupid
Where are you from? Not from the US…
I don’t know… I will admit the reason he’s fair game and relevant is because he has gone on campaign tours with el sayed and gotten interviews with other DSA candidates. I’d say he’s not relevant to the democrats as a whole, but individuals who bring him to campaign events… are liable in the same way that any republican candidate that invites Kanye or Fuentes is accepting some baggage from them.
That being said, I’d also point out Pikers baggage is just plain stupidly overblown as well. The guy streams for like 8 hours a day. The main “ammunition” against him, is one statement he made 8 years ago along the lines of “America deserved 9/11”. which he admitted he admitted was more of a misphrasing, and meant it as “america is responsible for the conditions that made 9/11 an inevitability”.
I suppose a party liability such as Trump would be an expert in the field.
This shows how weak the Republican’s platform is. They aren’t attacking policy at all - it’s culture wars bull shit. All they can say is vague shit like communism without pointing to anything relevant in policy. Piker isn’t running. These are sloppy desperate fear tactics.
They can’t attack policy, because they’ve had absolutely no obstruction to implementing policy for nearly two years now. The Republican party has gotten to do exactly as it pleases for nearly two years now, and almost universally Americans say they are worse off than they were before.
Yes… but will they work? Maybe.
Honestly not sure. They are trying hard to rig the election or at least throw it all into chaos anyway. It’s going to get messy for sure.
Again, they’re horny for Hasan Piker. It’s the only thing that explains their irrational obsession. Most of the left doesn’t even consume his content.
He’s coming for the tradwives.
Bruh what the fuck are you doing? I was on the train when I opened the thread and saw this and I instantly started furiously masturbating. That made me drop my phone, and some poor old man saw the meat pic, now they are furiously masturbating.
Now everyone is furiously masturbating to the meat pic. Would you think of the consequences before posting this?
Coming for the proud boys as well I see.
Jesus, at least use the blurred version.
If it’s good enough to show to the prudes of the RNC, it’s good enough to show here.
The prudes of the RNC were the ones that created and used the blurred version though… that was the joke ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Tbh maybe he forgot it’s El Sayed running for office.
I don’t care what Trump thinks and know nothing about Hasan, nor do I care beyond understanding why the conservatives want his dick so bad
Trump is raging at people who aren’t even running for office because that’s how incompetent he is. If you want to watch some streamer because you like their show then go for it. But they aren’t the ones who are going to change the law. So whenever anyone brings up streamers instead of candidates, you know they’re either incompetent or afraid or both.
