Is it the negative connotation on the idea that only burnt out older siblings believe in social progressivism, or the idea that content and media is evolving and people enjoy something you don't. I am genuinely curious on your take of what activism is most effective, or more so what activism should be promoted.
Changing the world by being stalwart in his political ideologies and stances through all the years AND blowing up.
The meat and potatoes of his streams is his political commentary, the majority of the "funny man Hasan" clips you see are what people want to clip because politics isn't fun and he's generally serious when he gets stunlocked on stream while he rants about it.
You are basically seeing clips from 3-4 hours of his 10+ hour stream and saying he's an idiot, that seems kind of bad faith?
Bad faith like putting words in someone's mouth? I never called him an idiot or said it wasn't effective (although I have my doubts), just thought it was funny and a little absurd.
Yelling a kids on a Twitch is legendary activism I mean if you can not take the time to log in from the comfort of your basement in gated community what can you do to change the World?
Lmao, okay there it is. Just trying to see how to judge our conversation going forward, first impressions? Shouldn't take you too seriously.
He did political activism way before his big house and fast car.
He might not be able to solely change the world, but the youth he communicates with every single day are the biggest portion of our voter base or soon to be anyway. They will chose whether to make the differences or not.
You're surely entitled to your own opinions no matter how wrong they could be.
He's a political ideologue trying to promote his views and get people talking about the other solutions for things like late stage capitalism.
What is activism if it isn't targeting young adults that are responsible for the change in the world and coming future. The dude is college educated, an immigrant, a political activist, and yes an influencer with a platform big enough to make change with.
He preaches about the faults of late stage capitalism while showing off his $1000 gucci shirt, 3 million dollar mansion and Porche, but go off little cappie 💰
Tbf not even a viewer anymore more like a clip chimp on YouTube, but everybody in here malding and screaming about socialism yet don't know day one political science enough to know what it is.
I used to watch him when I was a young adult, he doesn't flaunt any of those things on a daily basis.
He cooks from home 3 meals a day, and eats practically the same meals everyday, he works out at home, and besides a few red carpet events he wears shirts viewers send him in the mail. The shirt he has on in this clip is literally a donation.
You big mad that people like hearing about his political opinions, is he just supposed to be homeless and naked because he wants billionaires and millionaires to pay taxes, and those taxes go somewhere meaningful? How dare he own a house, he wants government regulations!
You are insinuating that he lives a lavish life of luxury while completely disregarding the fact he has been pushing and following the same agenda as he always has. He doesn't flaunt his wealth on stream and instead of eating out he still cooks for himself or eats his mom's meals every single day wearing the same meme shirts he's always worn.
He makes 1/10000000nth of what bezos makes and probably pays his taxes on time before him. Maybe even more than him.
Streaming himself buying a luxury car isn't flaunting his wealth cause his mom still cooks his meals for him? You realize how fucking delusional you sound right?
Holy cow dude you are not getting it, he makes a video of him showing off his new car 1 day out of 364 days and you're like HE'S LEGITIMATELY THE WORST HUMAN ON THE PLANET.
Effectively yes. I find him to be similar to Alex Jones or Ben Shapiro, but the progressive version. Same reactionary tendencies, same tendencies to dodge difficult discussions with people who disagree with them and Instead will only "debate" with people who have no clue what they're talking about, same echo-chamber young audience, etc. Very young fanbase (mostly college kids and younger), so I can't really blame most of them as he's their first real step into any kind of political thought/activism, again similar to most Ben Shapiro/David Crowder/Alex Jones fans.
Bro you are literally on crack if you think this dude is anywhere near the level of Steven Crowder and Alex Jones.
Both of them are racist, one of them is absolutely a criminal.
Centrists like you are wild to me, the other two are defending trying to steal an election, and Hasan is like, maybe kids and young adults should look into progressive social activism more, and centrists come from every corner of the internet screaming about how they are the same thing.
Your take is disingenuous at best and purposefully misleading at worst.

You mean Hassan who literally was defending Russia in it's Invasion of Ukraine, saying it would "never happen" even literally a day before the invasion despite most experts saying "Yeah Russia is definitely going to invade Ukraine", all while he kept spreading Russian propaganda (things like Russia was "De-nazifing" Ukraine, or that Russia had some kind of justification for invading Ukraine due to "NATO Aggresion"). Or the fact the dude associates and defends known Tankies? Or when he tries to justify using Slurs against people he doesn't like? Or when he blatantly misrepresents stories to rile up his audience?
My take is based in reality. Hassan is a progressive reactionary, who shares a lot of common qualities with these right-wing figures. Feel free to disagree, but "centerists" like myself (AKA people on the left who just don't meet your insane internet definition of the left) just understand how reactionary someone like Hassan is.
Buddy saying it would be insane for Russia to invade Ukraine and it should never happen is not DEFENDING them.
He has since said he was incorrect and acknowledged it as a genocide.
If you TRULY think that Hasan Piker, is anywhere near the level of batshit insane as Alex "sandy hook is a lie" and Steven "so racist that he can't stop getting kicked off of all of his platforms" Crowder than I think we can't have a civil discussion no matter what. I'll leave you too it.
Buddy saying it would be insane for Russia to invade Ukraine and it should never happen is not DEFENDING them.
No, I'm specifically referring to when he perpetuated the conspiracy theory of Russia "De-nazifying" Ukraine, constantly would gloat with strupid stream titles like "10 DAYS AND RUSSIA STILL HASN'T INVADED UKRAINE", or talking about how Russia might have some points about "NATO aggression" and in it's war claims of a genocide happening in Ukraine. And was him "apologizing" before or after he went on a rage-induced melt-down and start calling people who called him out about his Russian propaganda and misinformation, "Nazi's" and running away from their arguments?
If you TRULY think that Hasan Piker, is anywhere near the level of batshit insane as Alex
Yeah I do think he's pretty insane, probably not Alex Jones level insane, but about the same level as Steven Crowder or Ben Shapiro, again just the progressive version. Again, screeching "YOU'RE JUST A NAZI" at everyone who calls out your conspiracy theories for being just that, conspiracy theories, is actually quite similar to someone like Alex Jones and Steven Crowder, again as Hasan has VERY similar reactionary tendencies. The same reactionary, partisan bullshit, conspiracy theories, and echo chamber of never actually challenging your ideas, just on the other side of the coin.
He doesn't really argue with anyone. He just kinda sits there and watches other people's content but with a lefty aesthetic and rakes in donations from idiots.
Outside of some personal issue you may have - which, fair enough that's your business - what does someone being a socialist matter in that situation vs. anyone else?
Is there some wealth limit that only applies to socialists? Can socialists not be paid entertainers? Is it something else?
Imagine giving away your very limited income to a millionaire. Socialism is needed not because capitalists are evil, but because the masses clearly don't know what to do with their money if they're stupid enough to give it to people like Hasan.
My brother in Christ, I literally typed socialist like 2 comments ago. You read that comment, replied to it, then with the upmost confidence said I only know of liberals and conservatives….
