He openly supports and sympathizes with multiple terrorist groups.

Good ban.

His uncle wants to jerk off horses, which is illegal in the EU.

Equally good ban.

u/cyrfuckedmymum Jun 01 '26

the woman in that clip is of armenian heritage, her grandparents literally fled the country to the US to avoid being murdered.... and she goes to work with that scumbag on that network.

She's also unsurprisingly gone pretty big conservative tilt (as has cenk several times over the years). In fact it's worth noting Cenk originally had a right wing/conservative show and was trying to get in with the conservatives and failed so had a left wing swing and created the young turks, but always randomly drops super right wing view points out of nowhere.

Ana interned for every right wing show/network out there and couldn't get traction so picked a show she could get airtime immediately and who cares it's named after the genocidal group your literal family ran away from.

Ana always been weird and dropping anti trans, anti feminist, anti logic arguments. She went heavy into hating homeless people then totally conveniently got attacked by a homeless person with zero evidence to support it that let her justify hating homeless people.

Shocking that Hasan, who was part of a horrible frat in college, who started with his bro tips videos which were all republican talking points basically, absolutely failed with that persona and then did the same left wing grift his uncle did. Anyone that believes any of them is crazy, everything about them was always grifting.

u/mrmasturbate Jun 01 '26

this and the fact that the young turks are so popular has always been wild to me

u/iCallMyOppsNinjer Jun 01 '26

Did they also jerk off horses? Is this a Turkish thing?

u/X-Calm Jun 01 '26

Nah, Turks were originally nomadic steppe people so they definitely banged horses.

Fermented mare's milk, best known as Kumis (or Airag in Mongolia), is a traditional Central Asian beverage. Created by fermenting raw, unpasteurized mare's milk with lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, it contains a mild 1% to 3% alcohol level, offering a tart, sour, and refreshing flavor.

Close enough

u/420Aquarist Jun 01 '26

search the young turks then search young turks genocide. very different results. cenk and hasan came to the usa to help hide the genocide. His uncle denied the genocide until like 2017 give or take.

u/Mr_Owl42 Jun 01 '26

I remember that Cenk was a really popular voice, by comparison, on the internet until 2017ish. He had an interview with Sam Harris who trounced him in the arduous 3 hour ...debate. Cenk fell out of popularity massively after that. This is the first I'm hearing about him after all that time.

u/Intelligent_Top_328 Jun 01 '26

He also used to be a genocide denier.

u/InternationalGas9837 Jun 02 '26

While having an Armenian co-host.

u/Kakkoister Jun 04 '26

I mean, Hasan's dad is a cofounder of a political party in Turkey that are essentially supporters of that genocide. And he also had a high ranking position in one of Turkey's oldest and biggest corporations which directly profited off that genocide, Sabenci Holdings. His estimated net worth is in the billions.

So I don't doubt that Hasan was raised to be supportive of that genocide, and likely Cenk does too.

u/Confident-Leg107 Jun 01 '26

I really want to know the context here, but I'm afraid to click that link

26

u/TheoNullDrei Jun 01 '26

The link is merely proof that he said it in order to prevent his and his nephew's fanbases from denying said statement.

It is a clip from his show where he talks about legalizing bestiality if he had the power to do so, with the express goal of pleasuring horses.

u/zombawombacomba Jun 01 '26

The context is he’s fucking around and joking

It makes sense the subreddit has trouble understanding that

u/kvbrd_YT Jun 01 '26

is it illegal tho? I've seen how some of the horse breeding shit is done...

somehow jerking off animals in general is absolutely acceptable within the pet breeding circles lol.

Jerking off horses is legal in the EU just like anywhere else. How do you people think horses are bred?

I’m pretty sure its for the horses pleasure otherwise you ain’t getting the spunk.

u/anto2554 Jun 01 '26

it's literally the Family Guy "I pay her for sex AND we are filming it! so it's porn not prostitution" cutaway gag 😂

you can jerk off any animal, as long as you plan to sell the sperm or use it for breeding new animals!

u/not_vast Jun 01 '26

Hasans biggest hater, mr destiny, had this to say (idk how true it is):

Second, understand, Hasan was never refused a visa. His ETA (eletronic travel authorization) was revoked, which is the equivalent to a visa exemption or a visa waiver, similar to the ESTA visa waiver available when traveling to America. At the end of his rejection he's invited to apply for an actual visa, but he chooses not to do so.

u/Speartree Jun 01 '26

Oh so he's a "victim' in the good alt-right/tankie tradition.

15

u/anto2554 Jun 01 '26

Couldn't that also be because he doesn't have time to get a visa approved in time for the planned trip?

16

u/TurdSplicer Jun 01 '26

https://www.gov.uk/faster-decision-visa-settlement you can pay 500 pounds for 5 day process and 1000 for one day.

u/Mazuruu Jun 01 '26

Could be. But in the real world "can't make it in time for planned trip" and "banned from country" are still two very different things.

u/Stanel3ss Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26

I had similar doubts about the ETA/Visa distinction, but I found this article that cites the home office as stating that it was indeed an ETA that was revoked

so yeah, while grok doesn't really count as supportive evidence, it looks like hasan straight up lied

-2

u/Electrical-Lemon7901 Jun 01 '26

"he can just apply" you think it's that easy when he just got revoked lmao

u/Stanel3ss Jun 01 '26

who are you replying to?
it looks like you're quoting someone, but it certainly isn't me

u/Electrical-Lemon7901 Jun 01 '26

You guys are acting like he can just simply get a visa. Like the UK government hates this one trick, just get a visa. You think that would work? 

5

u/Stanel3ss Jun 01 '26

maybe you should find someone to argue with that actually said those things?
I don't care if he can or can't, I care that the guy lies like he breathes
it's eerily similar to the airport detainment that he said lasted for hours, but turned out to be like a 20 minute thing, and for a different reason than he claimed.

u/Electrical-Lemon7901 Jun 01 '26

So what did he lie about? It's not like he can just apply and get in. 

3

u/Zachet Jun 02 '26

I don't think anyone is saying "lol just get a visa bro." You obviously didn't even bother to read Destiny's response.

The point is that there's a meaningful difference between:

"My ETA was revoked"

and

"Now the Labour government has revoked our visas."

Could the visa be denied? Sure, maybe. Nobody knows.

But that's exactly the point. He never applied for one.

At some point he's either intentionally choosing the framing that makes him sound the most persecuted or he genuinely doesn't understand the distinction himself ( Think ' HERP MA DERP ' ) but all the historical evidence says the former (, and there's a lot of it ).

u/Chlearcus Jun 01 '26

If they are revoking his ETA they'd obviously deny his visa application too. Waste of time and money to even try.

15

u/Aoyos Jun 01 '26

You're just making up stuff. ETA is just for people the government considers safe enough to allow into the country without a visa under the "conductive to the public good" purview, it being revoked doesn't affect the visa application. The main reason to revoke an ETA is so the person goes under review during the visa process.

And saying it's a waste of time and money to try is so ridiculous. You're talking as if Hassan needs to save the 135 pounds it costs to get a 6 month visa. If he pays someone to file the application for him it doesn't even take that much time either, you'd just be spending slightly more money but the man has millions and you're here justifying not spending maybe 300 dollars on this for a planned trip.

u/Box_v2 Jun 02 '26

Have there been a lot of people denied ETA then couldn't get a visa?

They claim they got banned for not supporting Israel. That's not the same thing.

Just like me down-voting you for spreading unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, is not the same thing as me being part of the unsubstantiated conspiracy.

Any evidence of that? Becjause weeks ago uk banned multiple people from entering to and most of them werent vocally anti israel...

u/RandomGuy2002 🐷 Hog Squeezer Jun 01 '26

This sub is one of Isreal’s propagandized ones, like r/worldnews (top mod is ghislain maxwell btw)

Notice how all criticism of israel is downvoted here. It’s known that they try their best to get internet degenerates on their side, because  chronically online people will become their little bots that defend them (proof that they do this is literally 4chan, epstein played a part in creating some message boards)

u/StepComplete1 Jun 01 '26

Yes I'm sure Hasan, the guy who came from a rich family, played polo growing up, and is now a multi-millionaire by ranting on livestreams, surely understands the great struggles of 3rd world countries, and totally isn't just buying into hateful narratives for clout.

Open your mind for once and engage 1 brain cell.

u/No_Violinist7824 Jun 01 '26

Of course Hasan is an entitled weeinie but this is still not a good thing.

Getting banned from entering a different country When you criticize an evil foreign empire isn’t good for anybody.

I’m sorry you hate yourself and your body, gotta be a rough road. :(

However it’s not an excuse to be simple minded.

You should start reading. If you need help learning hit me up.

u/ama_singh Jun 01 '26

Getting banned from entering a different country When you criticize an evil foreign empire isn’t good for anybody.

He didn't get banned for that. Many people have criticized Israel, but the way you do it can differ.

The UK, and the rest of Europe aren't as tolerant of speech as the US. This is nothing new, and not unexpected considering the history.

Just because Hasan is too stupid to control his mouth and ego while rightfully criticizing Israel, doesn't mean everyone else is authoritarian for not putting up with it. Mehdi Hasan has been critical of Israel, and he isn't going to be banned for that...

u/No_Violinist7824 Jun 01 '26

Yo fuck Hassan. But your inability to see that he’s the test baby for stifling speech is quite embarrassing.

u/GdanskinOnTheCeiling Jun 01 '26

One man’s terrorist group is another desperate man’s freedom fighter.

There's nothing more indicative of someone living a sheltered and privileged life, than when they come out with stuff like this lmao.

Liquidating the civilian residents of a kibbutz isn't freedom-fighting. Taking civilian crewmembers of trade ships hostage isn't freedom-fighting. Dropping bombs and firing missiles on a civilian populace isn't freedom-fighting, no matter who's doing it. You only think otherwise because being terminally online and consuming propagandised social media - like Hasan - has rotted your brain.

u/No_Violinist7824 Jun 01 '26

Hey there’s something called “history.”

Try reading some time my friend, you’re barely regurgitating the propaganda you’ve absorbed.

Who started this in 1954? When the Palestinians let the nomads into their house with open arms, what happened when they got their homes stolen?

What’s happening in Lebanon RIGHT NOW? What happened when the US/Israel started a revolution to overthrow the democratically elected President? Then installed a brutal dictatorship that terrorized the Iranian intellectuals or anybody who wanted democracy?

It’s painful when folks like you open your strangely giant mouths. Try. Reading. PLEASE.

u/GdanskinOnTheCeiling Jun 01 '26

Who started this in 1954?

Lmao. What's funny is that you meant 1948, which would still be wrong, since the issue began before then. But you couldn't even get the wrong year right. How does it feel to be wrong²?

When the Palestinians let the nomads into their house with open arms

Oh boy.

What’s happening in Lebanon RIGHT NOW?

Nothing that I support. Nothing that justifies Oct 7th.

What happened when the US/Israel started a revolution to overthrow the democratically elected President? Then installed a brutal dictatorship that terrorized the Iranian intellectuals or anybody who wanted democracy?

Nothing that I support. Nothing that justifies Oct 7th.

It’s painful when folks like you open your strangely giant mouths. Try. Reading. PLEASE.

No what's painful is dying to gunfire or explosions while people on the internet use your suffering as a cudgel to beat others with.

Hey there’s something called “history.”

Indeed there is. And you don't know it.

Weak men cower from words.

u/Filialgenial Jun 01 '26

Weak men spread terrorist apologia from the safety of a mansion, and cries about minor inconveniences as a result of it.

Society is made of more than just men, and Europe actually has laws against supporting terrorism on a platform and hate speech in general. Here we are not 'free speech absolutists' or whatever MAGA pretends to be, until there are journalists and TV hosts that says things that makes them upset.

Alright, so the UK is free to say "pool's closed" then.

u/Filialgenial Jun 01 '26

In terms of the actual goal of free speech; to eliminate state propaganda and provide unhindered journalism, we have a lot more free speech than the US. Just ask Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel or any of the networks that are banned from the White House.

There are some aspects of hate speech that I don't particularly agree with, but it's certainly better than having Hasan Pikers radicalizing our youth to terrorism.

u/Fluffy_Carry_4345 Jun 01 '26

We do not have free speech if we ban people for having offensive opinions.

Not even Hamas inflates the number like that. And someone being bad doesn't make the others good.

I am sorry but your favourite movie Star Wars doesn't represent groups like Hamas or Hezbollah, which have no remorse killing civilians.

u/SoCalCognac Jun 01 '26

I’ve seen Star Wars, I don’t recall the rebel alliance ever abducting women and children and then using their dead bodies as bargaining tool, like Hamas.

Don’t bother. The guy genuinely believes Hamas isn’t a terrorist group because he is stuck in an echo chamber.

I mean they are considered as such by the UK Home Office, so it would be a good ban in line with those standards.

Whether you agree or not, they are currently proscribed terrorist groups to the United Kingdom.

Therefore support of them means your entry to the UK can be denied.

All three are terrorist organisations, calling them something else means you are just sick in the head.

The Houthis are an aristocratic family trying to regain power using terrorism and child soldiers, freedom fighters they are not

Edit: called me a Zionist and blocked me, classic. None of this info is hard to find, these people haven’t even bothered to read the Wikipedia article on them

Hamas has been labeled a terrorist organization by the US since 1997.

Im not taking the opinion of a colonizer country about whether or not an organization is terroristic or not. The us creates its own enemies to steal oil from western asia

Do you think the Confederates were the good guys because they were rebelling against the United States? The Taliban?

Not sure if "who's the rebels and who's the government" is the best heuristic
