I still don't care who Piker is. The only thing his detractors are succeeding in doing is making me know who Piker is. So good job raising his profile? Isn't there a real villain out there somewhere toward whom they could direct this animus instead?

Scary brown man. OOGA BOOGA!

It's so stupid and transparent

How do people "scared of hasan" function in real life at all

They are pulling his hair and calling him names because they clearly have a crush on him and are mad that he doesn’t care about them

How many of us had never heard of the guy before all of this started? I was hoping it would just pass and I'd never need to learn anything about him. And we're now going on the 4th (?) week of it...

I deeply hate the second headline. Regardless of what it’s about or if I agree with the content or not, it’s a stupid headline

It's legitimately funny at this point, brains completely broken

I have no idea who that is

streisand effect has been very clear for weeks now so this is just on purpose. someone is going rogue

Same. If a twitch streamer bothers you more than the current fascist rapist corrupt regime, maybe dont be a journalist.

Smells like desperation when they choose someone as hot as Hasan to be the left's sin eater. It's so much harder to hate someone as attractive as him. At the very least a lot of people will go "Dangerous? Well, let me hear him out..." Man I wish Bari Weiss would wingman for *me* this hard smh.

@silly.bsky.social can we please get a few more hasan articles

Everything I've learned about Hasan Piker has been against my will.

I can. He's a popular non-white pundit who attacks Israel and the Democratic Party on the regular. Of course it's still going on.

That Newsweek headline feels especially manipulative, yikes

Liberal strategists: "we want a Joe Rogan of the left!" Also Liberal strategists: "NO NOT LIKE THAT!!!!! we meant Bill Maher."

I don't know. He's a dumbass. Can this end now?

It has been really bizarre hearing "you know what fuck it, I'm saying it, America deserved nine-eleven, dude.” on Fox News every day. 8/21 is a historical touchstone with these people

It is kind of funny that even then they can't find one unflattering picture of him.

I still don't know who this is!

i’m gonna be real. i have no idea who hasan piker is.

I voted for him 12 times.

"spoiler: it's not about Israel" like cmoooon, at least wait til the article body before giving the game away

"it's not about Israel." Written by IsraelStan1948

It's an op. I bet anyone any amount of money that every whiny Hasan article has been bought and paid for, likely by an AIPAC group.

He's right and nobody cares.

These guys wanted a "joe Rogan of the left" and this is the closest we'll get and they still reject him

Centrists hand wringing about Hasan just make him seem cooler, these people are dumb as rocks

The uni party Neoliberal machine is losing control of the narrative and are all having a collective crash out. When Liberal outlets are spouting the same opinions as conservative outlets its easy to see.

All they know to do is lie and complain, which trains people to ignore them lol

I had no idea who this guy was before. I still have no idea who he is. I don’t know anyone who knows who he is. And I have no interest in learning more about him. Yet, these media bozos seem hellbent on building him up.

No matter how many hyperventilating articles they write, they cannot make me learn who this dude is or even remotely care wtf his opinions are.

bsky.app/profile/smil...

Every time they rant about Piker my Senate candidate shoot’s up in the polls. So, selfishly, I want it to keep going for like 6 more months.

It's going on because he's the Logan Paul of politics. He has a niche following that genuinely adores him but the general populace loves to hate on him because mocking douchebags is irresistible. No doubt about it he does produce clicks.

The only thing I'm afraid of is that their bizarre campaign against him is going to put him and his family in danger from mentally ill right-wingers who think he's a terrorist because they watch Fox News or whatever.

For complicated reasons, I’ve been forced to be in a house where someone keeps Fox News on all day. They talk about this guy at least every hour, how he’s a Dem favorite and what not. It makes me stabby.

Yeah, man. This is all going exactly how you hoped. Right.

This is why I didn’t vote for Hasan Piker for president...

They're right; I am absolutely, one hundred percent, not afraid of Hasan Piker.

I had no idea everyone except me was afraid of Hasan Piker. Thanks Newsweek!

I’ve no more fucks to give for Hasan or The Young Turks. Fucking libs.

I am just never going to care who this person is supposed to be.

Lotsa money to be made and spent

It’s nuts. The must-find-equivalence virus has affected too many minds and media institutions?!

Dudes just existing and doing his thing as he always does and that's an afront to people in power. Kinda awesome.

Hasan Piker's current views I think are perfect about everything. Women's rights Cuban's rights Palestine Trans rights The environment The explotation of the global south ... And he's a very practical person too And he's hot af So yeah there's just no justification for not absolutely loving him

I’m eventually gonna need to Google “Hasan Piker”, aren’t I.

Hasan “Barbra” Piker

I lightly criticized the guy and I got sandblasted by people saying Hamas was based. He certainly attracts a particular crowd.

The left loves losing.

It will never stop. Long after we are all dead, people will still be pretending to care about this for a few measly clicks from people who have either forgotten, or never knew, who any of them even were.

They are only making him more popular. Lots of people didn’t know who this guy was until the centrists and the right started attacking him. Now they are negatively polarizing people in his favor

Is it just Zionism laundering at this point? Going after him as a way for them to be pro-Israel/anti-Palestine on the books because saying it outright is increasingly unpopular?

It's really funny actually. I still barely know anything about him, nor will I read the plethora of articles that could have literally been about 10,000 other more important topics. Like the ongoing kidnapping of people by ICE thugs!

Why address the presidents blanant corruption when you can go after the low hanging fruit? They’re just giving the people what they want! I’m personally hoping they start taking down all these twitch streamers, presidential corruption is so last year

I can believe it. Money is flooding the zone right now. I stop engaging with anyone posting this "feud". I'm not going to get sucked into this. Just note the people who are trying to keep it going.

I do not know who this guy is, nor do I care, nor does apparently anyone else who's not terminally online, but I'm being told that I MUST ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND DECIDE WHETHER I'M WITH HIM OR AGAINST HIM BECAUSE MY FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT

Its pretty wild how long they keep writing this stuff. Cause you know, nothing else is going on in politics or world history that deserves any attention at all.

Can someone please tell me who astroturfed Piker into the mainstream? Acting as though he’s some kind of progressive mainstay came out of fucking nowhere.

The first little bit of the box article said Hasan is good at yelling and playing video games… if you ever watched his stream, he rarely plays video games…

Afraid of Hasan? Look I don't like the guy, he is a reactionary asshat, but the more and more they keep doing this shit the better they make him look... And the Dems are going to lose everyone cause they had to focus on this one guy instead of denouncing a genocide...
