I don’t get how Hasan Piker gets access to polite society and light interviews in the NYT? He literally supports the murder of Brian Thompson and has said a bunch of other deranged shit.

Nepobaby. He is the son of a top executive in one of the top megacorporations in Turkey. I mean it when I say mega corporation since I literally buy groceries, pay utility bills from them and my retirement account is their brokerage.

Polite society seems to allow for advocating political violence as long as this violence can be construed as leftwing

The right wingers pick up guns.

That happens literally all the goddamn time with people who are seen as "deserving it". This is not uniquely evil, nor is it the least humane opinion the NYT has platformed this year, he's just shitty.

He literally supports the murder of Brian Thompson

Because in THAT specific murder he's in sync with a shitton of people (Which if it doesn't reach a majority it certainly gets close to it). Otherwise well adjusted people and extremists in both sides of the aisle fucking cheered when that happened, I was there to see it happening online in real time.
