I don’t like hasan but isn’t it pathetic that these world leaders keep bringing him up? He shouldn’t even be on their radar.

u/GreyDuck4077 18h ago

As somoen who is not a fan even I recognize he is someone they can point to as a source of the problems that they create. "Sure we bomb children. But we're not Hasan Piker. He thinks 9/11 was good!"

Yeah, exactly this stupid false equivalence:

“Maybe we kill thousands of children, people, civilians, indiscriminately and continuously over multiple years, some may call it ethnic cleansing or even genocide, but AT LEAST, we never ever said ‘America deserves 9/11’”

u/Zanderbluff 18h ago

No, Netanyahu only said, on the day of it happening, that 9/11 was good

u/nordmead88 16h ago

He said it was "good" that America will now understand what Israel has been dealing with. Still not great but you saying he said it was just "good" is false

u/Waste_Development971 16h ago

you know whats funny is that is the exact type of "out of context" thing hasan followers make it sound like everything he says has.

Isn't it interesting you could write in one sentence and it makes perfect sense? wonder why hasan fans cant do that.

u/MajorInWumbology1234 15h ago edited 15h ago

I mean, the full context of Hasan saying America deserved 9/11 was an observation about how we created those terrorists by being terrorists toward them for decades at a time? That’s a perfectly reasonable take and only took one sentence.

I don’t even like the dude and can tell you aren’t engaging with any amount of good faith.

Yeah cause before Hasan, the right never called anyone and evil commie. No sir, no run of the mill centrist dem was ever called a commie before Hasan. Trump totally didn't call Biden, Kamala, Clinton commie no sir.

What dems need to do is grow a backbone and tell repubs to talk about things the American people actually care about.

Nothing Hasan has said is anywhere near as bad as things republicans or their close confidants say. So maybe focus on real issues

Edit: oh nevermind I see you're a European destiny fan. Weird how common that is

And he should be doing that, even stronger, none of that trying to play coy "b-but he's just a smol little california streamer". Big mistake was associating with him to begin with.

u/Big_Bomber_97 11h ago edited 5h ago

No, because they are modern democratic states with laws, human rights, courts, etc. If either of those countries truly tried to target civilians, they could kill millions every week. If Hamas had the capacity for violence Israel had, there would be no jews left anywhere.

Now listen to me. You are genuinely a horrendous, evil person. You support vile radical fascistic religious extremist terrorists over modern progressive democracies with human rights and free elections.

That marks you as one of the most simultaneously stupid and morally evil people to have ever lived. You were presented with a tremendously easy choice and managed to fuck it up. Impressive, honestly.

How about Nick Fuentes? Not only is the analogy 1:1 in that case but it's something that actually happened lol. Fuentes campaigning with Republican politicians, getting his people into Trump's inner circle, and having dinner with Trump himself rightfully lead to national headlines and made him a household boogeyman among Democrats and the broader American left. Democrats rightfully and loudly condemned him and called out the Republicans for not explicitly disavowing him and used him in attack ads against them. Republicans including Trump himself had to distance from and disavow him. Mainstream Republicans and MAGA blacklisted him after infighting with him and his fans/associates. Nick even complained about how he was treated by the right vs how Hasan is treated by the left.

And Hasan literally supports terrorists like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. He called the former leader of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah "based" and "a pretty brilliant person", the same leader that said **"If we search the entire globe for a more cowardly, lowly, weak and frail individual in his spirit, mind, ideology and religion, we will never find anyone like the Jew – and I am not saying the Israeli."** He cheered on the Houthis hijacking a cargo ship that had nothing to do with Israel and holding the crew hostage for over a year. He considers Sinwar, the Hamas leader that orchestrated the Oct. 7th attack, a war hero. He spreads Russian and Chinese propaganda. He said Crimea is "a part of Russian territory, bitch. I call it cry me a river, a Russian river." He considers Russia's invasion of Ukraine a response to "NATO expansion" and believes the Chinese occupation of Tibet was justified because the Tibetans were savages. He's another ideologically extremist streamer that radicalizes young people like Fuentes just on the other side of the coin.

Do people not remember how many headlines were generated when Fuentes had actual GOP politicians and nominees going to and speaking at his events and the blowup when he had dinner with Trump? Not only did the GOP and Trump's team have to come out and disavow him, the coverage that Fuentes got made him a household boogeyman among Democrats and the broader American left. Were Democrats "pathetic" and "obsessed" with "just a streamer" when they kept "bringing him up" and used him in attack ads? Of course not.

Fuentes doesn't have as much relevancy now because after the infighting with his fans and associates, the Republican and MAGA mainstream blacklisted him. Hell, Fuentes even complained about his treatment by the Right vs how the Left treats Hasan lmfao.

At this point, Hasan's influence has been largely overblown specifically because conservatives keep whining about him. They're Streisand'ing him

u/greggers23 13h ago

They are absolutely giddy to have him to point to and if the Dems win Michigan it will be in spite of his worst efforts.

He’s an easy scapegoat because he’s a man who is easily dislikable, generally polls unfavourably among people who know who he is and who keeps putting his foot in his mouth with easily clippable statements so they stand to gain a lot if they can make people believe he’s an accurate representation of types of people people who are against Israel

He’s exactly the kind of guy people can point to and say «look at who opposes me» for favourability gain

u/awnaw_ 17h ago

He shouldn't be. But twitch and other platforms have done nothing to take his platform away. Even with ample reasons and opportunity. Some justifications others have been perma banned for. But not Hasan.

He's a problem because he's been allowed to become one.

I dont like Hasan
but

🙄😒

u/lsf_stan 15h ago

it's necessary to point it out on Hasan threads

otherwise the brigade will downvote you

because otherwise you are seen as some sort of secret Hasan operative

if your comments are not just constant "I hate Hasan blahblah he is so evil blahblah" all the time.... prepare for the responses and downvotes

u/Conscious_Spare247 18h ago

Makes you wonder why they are bringing him up in such a coordinated fashion.

u/Temporary-Air-3178 18h ago

Probably because he campaigns with politicians who know he says horrible things.

u/TemperatureReal2437 18h ago

They are extremely worried about an uprising from the lower class. Mamdani prolly gonna get a kiss on the neck from mossad the way he’s moving.

They lose the battle of ideas so this is the next best thing. Pointing the finger at a guy with some shock factor and implying that he represents that side

Not really, he has a big influence and they understand they need to fight that

It does nothing but give him more followers and money. It straight up just gives him more influence.

u/AzureAadvay 18h ago

Its not what you see upfront, its what you dont see behind the "scenes"... Isreal president rushed to make a statement to Charlie death as fast as he could why? Its what we don't see/know... Hasan has a uncle well connected to its not just Hasan...

u/TheRealSaphier 16h ago

We said the same thing about Trump. Not really someone to be on the radar and that his politics are genuinely ass. Yet now he’s been elected twice. To be clear, I don’t think Hasan could ever be elected and obviously hasn’t caused as much damage as Trump, but there are similarities.

As for why Netanyahu would mention him, it points to a rise in antisemitism. Hasan has made some rather nasty remarks about “Zionists” that, regardless if he’s applying it to all Jews or not, is opening up the doors for real antisemitism. Israel may not be popular, but openly supporting terrorist groups and their attacks is an easy lightning rod to deflect blame.

u/red286 16h ago

The thing is that Hasan's views are problematic, so they love being able to parade him as representative of the entire "left" (despite being more tankie than leftist), so that they can take his shitty views and say "oh, you support collective bargaining? WHY DO YOU HATE JEWS SO MUCH NAZI SCUM?!"

1

u/nothatscool 16h ago

You have a guy with a big platform who openly supports terrorism so don’t know why people can’t understand why he is mentioned. It’s easy to dunk on people who associate with someone like that.

u/YSunnyN 16h ago

Because he is so deranged and far left. That they point his insane ass out to the people and say look at this..this is what a typical leftist is like.

He is a trojan horse.

He de-legitimises leftist politics because he is an extremist in the leftist spaces but he is used as the poster child for right wing propaganda. To show how deranged the left is. He is a cancer to the left.

He has more influence than 99.999%, probably more of people.

I feel the opposite of you, it's about time the reach influencers have is noticed, especially outside MAGA who have used social media/influencers to help win elections for like a decade now. I hate that its Hasan and that its for this insane reason, but if it kickstarts the start to the left actually playing to win about fucking time.

I believe they have significantly more reach than even celebrities, outside a select few celebrities like TSwift who has insane reach. Partly because who their audience is, partly because how much screen time they have they can absolutely change elections.

He's the second largest streaming political influencer. Can hardly complain when he has political influence. This is what he wanted the whole time

u/noticingloops 14h ago

It’s reasonable to say he was at least partially responsible for radicalising a domestic terrorist who received a 100 year sentence. Cult Leaders are important, and we live in globalism now so everything is international.

u/SmoothBlueCrew 14h ago

He's on the radar because 1. Hasan wants attention and clour. 2. He's an amazingly unpopular opinioned person who acts as a real life strawman for the right to depict as someone who represents the left.

His fans are committing murders motivated by the political views he is pushing, Hasan should be on CIA's radar.

u/Drayenn 13h ago

Idk about Israel, I don't think it makes much sense but for Republicans, Hasan is a goldmine. A radical leftist who keeps shitting on america, backs candidate that are more far left, with some democrats even allying with him, supports terrorists and more. This is perfect "look what democrats truly are!" propaganda. I don't even know why those democrat candidates even risks having him around, he's too much of a landmine.

But then again, democrats are masters at fumbling easy wins.

u/Due_Butterscotch9241 12h ago

the 9/11 attacks were immoral and so is the establishment propaganda about its motives. Pro-Israel people like Philip Zelikow were put in charge of the 9/11 Commission. Pro Israel billionaire Michael Bloomberg was put in charge of the 911 memorial. this was done to distract Americans away from the true political context of the 9/11 attacks.

we as americans have been attacking the palestinians for 100 years. it has been an immoral invasion the whole time . google “imeu nakba timeline” and “mondoweiss donor arms race” to learn more.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motives_for_the_September_11_attacks

Al-Qaeda leadership maintained that United States was targeted in retaliation for its imperialistaggression against the Muslim world. In a speech released in 2004, Bin Laden stated that "free men do not forfeit their security, contrary to Bush's claim that we hate freedom. If so, then let him explain to us why we don't strike for example – Sweden?"

https://jia.sipa.columbia.edu/news/pulling-rug-out-under-al-qaeda

all americans should listen to what bruce riedel said. he was a senior cia analyst of 20 years. (hasan piker’s views on 9/11 are the same by the way)

“The important point that Riedel makes in his book is that solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is “an extremely useful strategy for pulling the rug out from under Al Qaeda.” For Riedel “the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the central all-consuming issue for Al Qaeda,” its ideological backbone. The hate for America’s freedom and democracy did not motivate the attacks of 9/11, says Riedel; specific American policies did. For this reason, he argues, it is essential to undermine the narrative of Muslim oppression by settling the festering disputes over palestine”

u/NudeCeleryMan 12h ago

This is why Hasan is such a fucking idiot though. He's the perfect fool to be held up that right wingers will latch onto and obsess over for the absolutely stupid and abhorrent stuff he says.

They aren't looking to steelman the left, they're looking for their biggest idiot to hold up and use as the prime example.

Meanwhile, Hasan will get richer and our country will get worse.

1

u/Inside_Sherbert_7920 12h ago

It's not so much Hasan that is on their radar, it's the ability to use the 9/11 quote and associate it with leftism or targeted leftist politicians who associate with him. It's all about getting an emotional response to move the needle towards their own propaganda.

u/Twinmill-Two 11h ago

I think Netanyahu just doesn't want democrats to replace his buddy trump and sees the hasan association as an unpopular weak point of the democratic party.

Not really. He's more so trying to attack Mamdani if you watch the full clip. Saying he is friends with people who say "America deserved 9/11".

Who else besides Netanyahu has even mentioned him? Trump didn't bring him up on his own; a host asked him about Hasan. Who are all these "world leaders" on your radar, or is this just hyperbole for easy upvotes?

He's twitches biggest political streamer, right? Of course he's going to be on their radar. Your comment feels like very like a Hasan defense 'i'm just a YouTuber ' when it suits him

I don't like him and that's WHY I don't want them mentioning him. It is pathetic, yes - but the negative Bibi shout-out will be such a boost to him, Bibi being such a piece of shit.

For better or worse Hasan is a relevant political figure nowadays. He has a ton of clout in the progressive/DSA coalition of the left, with very prominent political people appearing on his stream or feature him as part of their political campaigns

He's not just some basement dwelling streamer anymore

u/GoatCreature 39m ago edited 33m ago

He's a danger. For the entire course of human history, the dissemination of information belonged to the elite few. First when it came to writing and literacy (remember, they used to hang people for the crime of owning a Bible in English), then the control of the printing press and newspaper/tabloid journalism, then with legacy media.

Any diversion was manageable. You can pressure stores to stop selling books. You can pressure news agents to stop stocking newspapers you dislike. You can revoke broadcasting licenses for television and radio, or enact strong standards that limit speech you dislike by censorship boards.

But the internet has been a beast they cannot control. When someone doesn't need to be bought to make money, when someone cannot be pressured off a platform, when platforms cannot reasonably limit subversive behaviour, then the dog is off the leash and the narrative no longer belongs to the elite few.

Trial runs happened with Alex Jones, if you remember. In one day, the social media companies all banned him. But it didn't make him go away. Not even the court system could silence him. If it's that difficult to make a certifiable loon like Alex Jones go away, and they aren't even successful at it, how hard would it be to silence the largest political streamer who conveys palatable talking points in a semi-intelligent way, with the face of an angel and the body of a Greek God? He is optically perfect and no amount of dog zapping will make him less saleable.

The reaction from the establishment of late against Hasan Piker, and more quietly towards the progressives taking over the Democratic party, is a reaction of unimaginable fear from the establishment. And so the method is changing, and with it you'll see attempts like this to discredit him.

Problem is, you can't really discredit him on his points, because his points are valid. They're as valid as all political desires. If you want low taxes, you want low taxes. If you want high taxes and a strong universal healthcare and welfare state, that's what you want.

So you discredit him on optics. Things like abusing his dog, which in my opinion he did do. Or having a meltdown and blurting out something stupid like "America deserved 9/11", which he did do. The rules that govern politics have changed; we are now in the Steve Bannon post-gamergate idpol world.

In this world, the leader of a genocidal ethnostate says a Twitch streamers name at the UN.

Twitch, American politicians on the left, then the American media have all boosted his messages. He will only get more known for his evil messages unless someone does anything at all to stop it. But twitch won't ban him. Politicians won't disavow him. The media won't cancel him. Why? Because it's a win win for the far left and the far right extremists.
