      This is textbook defamation. Hasan’s chat is constantly telling him he should sue whenever he watches mainstream media making shit up about him on stream but he has always declined, but recently they’ve escalated the defamation and are making increasingly serious allegations against him, so IMO he’s shown remarkable restraint thus far and he absolutely has the right to sue over this.

      It’s only going to get worse without repurcussions for Jennings too. He is probably going to be the new press secretary so he will committ all kinds of horrific acts that lead to death and misery for the working class on his way to a huge payday at Fox News.

    I wish people cared as much about what politicians had to say as nepo twitch streamers who claim to be communist while streaming from a literal West Hollywood mansion…

      What’s funny is that his house has actually been leaked and it’s not a mansion so much a product of insane runaway housing costs making relatively simple houses insanely expensive in specific locations.

      Raise your standards.

        Raise your standards.

        I’d love for my standards to be a “normal house” worth over a million dollars…

        But my uncle didn’t start a giant media company and name it after genocide a to hand me a platform…

        But to be honest I probably would have turned it down and wouldn’t have been interning for him in the first place

          I like this idea that The Young Turks exists as a vehicle for Hasan almost exclusively.

          This ignores the year(s) where he streamed games to an audience of 30 people after he quit TYT.

          And to be clear, your standards are referring to a normal house as a mansion. Capitalism has robbed you of being able to imagine even normal things as anything but unreachable Luxury. And your weird sense of Socialism has convinced you that poverty is the only virtue that proves your Convictions. Both of these things are lies you’ve swallowed from a class of people who are waiting for you to pass out in their warehouse and die so they can stop hearing your whining.

            Normal houses should stop being treated like speculative investments…

            But how do we prevent that?

      Because he streams for 8+ hrs a day to an audience of tens (if not hundreds) of thousands while espousing rational political views that run contrary to the narratives of America’s two political parties. Many people in their teens and twenties love him, for whatever it’s worth.

        We should judge him by what he does not what he says, but I get it. He speaks to us so we ignore potential issues.

      Allegedly. Others say the collar was non-shocking. As far as scandals go, probably is somewhat more believable than Al Franken’s allegations (who was canceled for less), but less believable than a lot of other scandals today.

    What I love most about Hasan Piker is how incomprehensibly liberals, empty centrists and conservatives absolutely panic when they see his name when in actuality Hasan Piker has very moderate and rationale beliefs.

    No, Hasan isn’t a moderate according to the definition of a moderate being completely unreflective of how their beliefs and ideals connect to reality, but Hasan is actually very much a moderate in terms of wanting systematic change in the most boring, broadly beneficial and policy focused way possible. There is nothing “radical” about Hasan Piker’s personality or politics when viewed from a rationale perspective, the beliefs of centrists are far more radical given the incredible unexamined hypocrises at the heart of them.

    People talk about Hasan Piker like he is some angry, dangerous man who casually suggests extremist forms of violence and judgement upon others as serious policy suggestions, which is another way to say that people talk about Hasan Piker like he behaves like a conservative.

        Yet, the rule points you where to post political videos! If you don’t know English, don’t post here then!
        Why it’s so difficult for USA users to learn English? Why can’t you respect the rules like the rest of world? Do you think because of Trump you can do anything you want?

        I’m sick of USA user base not respecting the rules.

        ALWAYS READ THE RULES!
