  • Hasan Piker was set to debate Charlie Kirk. Now he's warning of a "Reichstag fire moment."

  • Then that's bad wording on my part and I should work to express myself in clearer terms. At the same time, it's OK for me to express my desire for the leading media personalities on the left to be more effective and informed. We aren't winning this by streaming and reading Twitter headlines. Sorry.

  • Sure. But you should at minimum know about it. You don't have to talk about it every day. But if you professed to be an expert in Saudi geopolitics and you didn't know what the Kaaba is then I really don't see any reason to listen to you any longer. It's getting ridiculous at this point

  • What a bizarre take away. Are you confusing recognition of effectiveness as praise? If I say Hitler was successful in the project of e terminating millions of Jews do you take that as praise of Hitler?

  • None of this has anything to do with the topic of justification. That's something you attached to the discussion. No genocide can ever be justified. I hope we can agree on that? Are you not capable of holding more than one thought at a time?

  • Oh man. You guys are so weird. You understand the difference between admiring someone and recognizing that they are effective at achieving their goals. You understand the difference, right? Are you capable of having two thoughts simultaneously in your brain?

  • Why did the zionists pick that spot?

    I see the ad hominem attacks and labeling already coming out. No, I'm not a crypto zionist. I just know how to have a conversation that's more in depth than whatever slop you're used to haha.

  • You can downplay it all you want, which is weird, but it is a central element to the Jewish claim for the right to return. You know, the reason the Zionists are there in the first place. But hey, listen, if you like superficial slop rage farming content you do you. Hey, btw did you know genocide bad? Kony 2012!

  • You know what, I'll gladly admit I did not bring enough specific receipts and I'm talking in broad terms (although I provided plenty of examples to support my point). My comment was also not about the interview in question. I agree: "assertions are not evidence". That's why I brought you some examples which you discounted or simply ignored. You don't have to watch Hasan's stream all day to see the difference in social impact he has against the tide that is the right wing media apparatus, because at the end of the day, and this is my main claim: Hasan is not interested in outcomes (except the one that generate revenue).

    The point about him not understanding the Western Wall is not central to the claim that it discounts everything he says. It's central to the claim that his stream is superficial slop content meant to generate views. I don't know why this is so hard to grasp. If you've been covering Israel / Gaza for over two years and you still don't know what the Western Wall is....That's weird. It tells me you have no interest in covering this beyond an extremely superficial level. It's Kony 2012 all over again.

    I am making claims that would require you to verify them by consuming his content. I've been familiar with his content for over five years. I don't need to watch his stream any more. I look at the sum total of his outcomes. What has he managed to achieve politically so far? What is he doing to build the movement up? He doesn't seem to care. Why should I?

  • Oh ok. cool. Listen, if twitter text to speech analyzer Hasan Piker makes you happy, go for it.

  • I'd be satisfied with any outcome. Even if it meant the communist party wins the 2028 elections. The key to remember is that Kirk and Shapiro and the entire media apparatus of the right gets people mobilized.

    They organize. They vote.

    Hasan reads Twitter headlines. If that makes you happy, then do with that what you will.

  • It's the equivalent of Kony 2012. People like the aesthetic of caring about the genocide while doing the least possible to stop the suffering.

  • Get back to me when Hasan accomplishes something. Anything.

    As much of a vile person Kirk was, at least he knew how to mobilize people and be politically effective.

    Don't act like Hasan is some supreme bastion of intellectual acumen. He spends 99% of his stream reading Twitter headlines. Don't take my word for it. Go watch it for yourself

  • I don't know man... Why does having any historical context help to discuss the biggest conflict in middle east? Are you under the impression the genocide started on Oct 7?

  • Really? One of the keystone elements in the biggest geopolitical conflicts in the middle east? One of the biggest claims the zionists use as justification for right to return? The most sacred site in the Jewish faith?

    Really?

    Wikipedia is free, you know?

    The Western Wall
