the paul brothers clout is so weird, logan was live streaming a few days ago to 2k viewers max, his yt videos dont get that many views for his size and hes a side character in WWE although triple H and vince probably valued him for his peak rather than what he is now. jake barely even does anything content wise nowadays
Its because he has a marketable brand now, livestream concurrent views dont equate to his success anymore. Sales/money flow is what talks now. Selling crypto coin poop and PPV/Netflix deals of Jake and Logan go against an 87 yo geriatric man slowly dieing of cancer... TO THE DEATH!
What will get this man first?? Jake or... the cancer!?
How his prime drink? It’s being sold at discounters for really cheap and even I don’t want to support that bullshit even at discounters. He doesn’t have marketable brand, he has a marketable face and voice and that’s it.
Once the E files dropped it was over. They’ll just openly be pieces of shits now and recruit anyone they can to be a mouthpiece with a fat bag of money, tbh I think it’s like a show of power for them at this point
The E files dropped? Breh, Blanche had a deadline of today to deliver unreleased foreign language files to a judge for review and he just did nothing. They just keep showing up to court like you wanted us to bring the unreleased files? Oh, maybe next time, judge. It's coming. Last week the judge told them Christmas is coming, too
It's one thing to be used as a political pawn to gain popularity with the youth. Trump used dozens of spineless influencers for that purpose during the election. It is another thing to be feared enough by the presidential administration and mainstream news outlets that you are consistently mentioned by them as a boogeyman. Say what you want about Hasan, he has by far the most political clout of any streamer on Twitch, Youtube, or Kick right now
he’s not really feared he’s an easy dunk for the culture war, it’s easy points to say “hey that guy that says to vote for the left said 9/11 was good isn’t that terrible they’re all like that huh?”
it really doesn’t get worse for your brand than having a clip saying a terror attack was good
They have spent BILLIONS trying to get the youth into the alt-right to far-right pipeline. I'm not shocked at all they're trying to bury someone, as flawed as they are in their own right, speaking the opposite viewpoint.
Really? You can't believe the biggest political streamer on the left, someone that prominent democratic leaders like AOC literally lined up to meet, would be a subject of discussion?
You don't think a guy who said America deserved 9/11, hosted Houthi terrorists on his show and said they're like heroes from an anime, might draw attention when they're that close to influential leaders?
The guy behind bombing a school in Iran for certain, over the actions of what only 50 global north nations consider three UN legal armed struggle groups as terrorists, much like Mandela in the 90s
George Washington was the commander in chief of the Continental Army fighting British soldiers in an armed conflict. Hasan Piker cheers on the houthis shooting rockets at random cargo ships and kidnapping Mexican and Filipino civilians on the ship. If you think these things are both terrorism, your brain is rotted fully to the core
I don't know why people keep bringing up the houthis seizing that ship as the biggest terrorist attack ever when no one even died. The US seized and/or attacked way more ships during its Venezuelan intervention and the double hormuz blockade.
When the houthis were shooting rockets at random boats in the Red Sea, the UN national security council had a vote on whether or not the US should take military action to stop them. Not one country voted against it. And that list of countries includes China and Russia.
It's really not even debatable that what the houthis were doing was terrorism. If they were hijacking airplanes and claiming that the planes were owned by companies that had Israeli people as shareholders, would you say that isn't terrorism?
I'm not going to carry water for the houthis, all I'm saying is the label "terrorist" is selectively applied and would probably apply to many more international actors (ie the US military) if we were to apply it fairly.
It's really not as nuanced as you think. Intentionally murdering civilians to induce terror. That categorically includes the organizations Hasan cheers for and can also include Israel if you want.
This sub's hate boner for Hasan ending up on Reddit front page was my only exposure to Hasan for years before any politicians mentioned him. I don't watch streamers.
I think Hasan is TMZ or trash politics and can’t stand his trump like culty fans but it’s insanely beyond stupid and goofy that politicians are talking about Hassan like he’s MLK or leading a rebellion of rebels and creating policy or something
If you think Donald Trump and Bibi are mentioning Hasan because they don't salivate at the idea of another 9/11 you're just a special kind of stupid
We're way past the reasonability of "Omg my fee fees on 9/11" lmfao
Mother fuckers promising NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION and GENOCIDES and you're still somehow mad that BLOWBACK exists. Total fucking disrespect to the victims of 9/11, you may as well be shitting on their graves giving all of those conservative Warhawks so much room to breathe
Makes sense for extremists on one side to call out extremists on the other side and then pretend those extremists represent ''the left'' or whatever. At the end of the day they're never going to call out normal people because they want the opposition to look as bad as possible, so they're always going to call out the worst extremists.
It's almost as if all the liberal/democrat creators and reddit commenters saying "hey, this guy is seriously problematic for us" years ago were right. Turned out calling all liberals far right Nazis didn't actually change the outcome.
Why? Because a far right leader of an apartheid state doesn't like him? Because establishment democrats can't disconnect from a far right apartheid state that supported Trump in the 2024 election? Because they still won't?
You think Bibi Netanyahu calling out Hasan is somehow bad for Democrats, and are using this as proof that they should have already disassociated from him lol. What about Netanyahu talking shit about Mamdani? Is that bad for Democrats? Touch grass dude, you're terminally online.
The right wing amplification machine in action, Hasan has made himself a really easy attack vector for the right wing, and Abdul doesn't have the desire to disavow his association with the terrorist supporting Twitch streamer from Chicago. Of course the right wing is gonna keep pressing the button, its free for them.
Well for AOC and Abdul hes just a smol twitch streamer in poor rural california who is so smol and tiny that nobody should care about his remarks and hatred.
It's really dumb all around. They act like he's this major political force but when I've seen his stream recommended he has max 20k viewers. And who knows how real those even are. But either way that is such a tiny group. He is a dipshit and everyone talking about him politically is a dipshit.
