Is modern-day leftism in the United States collapsing into untreated mental illness (I mean no disrespect toward anyone facing real psychological challenges)? How does someone like Hasan Piker, who unleashes sexist, ageist, anti‑immigrant, and plainly racist insults at a woman for opposing communism, become a celebrated voice for leftist and socialist Democrats who are now winning primaries and elections? How does a man who boasts about supporting terrorists and the Houthis in Yemen, whose slogan includes “Curse be upon the Jews,” insist he is not antisemitic? How does someone who openly praises Hezbollah, says he would vote for Hamas, and believes the three thousand Americans murdered on 9/11 somehow “deserved it,” hold any relevance in American electoral politics? How does a wealthy, self‑indulgent millionaire become a hero to socialists and financially struggling young people whose entire worldview is built on hostility toward the rich?
Piker despises anti‑Hamas Palestinians, anti‑Hezbollah Lebanese, anti‑regime Iranians, anti‑Islamist Arabs and Muslims, anti‑Communist Chinese, Cubans, and Venezuelans, and anyone who refuses to submit to the rigid ideology of today’s leftist pseudo‑religion.
What is striking is that whenever I or anyone else points out these obvious problems, a chorus of defenders rushes to shield him. They insist he is not antisemitic, does not support terrorism, cares about people of color and the global south, and is merely being targeted by an establishment that controls media and narratives. Yet he repeatedly states exactly what he believes. He is a vile, deranged figure who incited violence against many, including myself, and I will never forget the troubles and hardships he personally caused me.
My conclusion is simple. While modern leftists love to lament the “post‑fact” era, many are among its worst offenders. They ignore evidence, reject logic, and embrace emotional, irrational, and harmful fantasies that assault common sense. It is time to abandon Hasan Piker, the victimhood narrative, the endless grievances, the romanticization of terror groups, and the hollow posturing of communism, socialism, and faux anti‑establishment theatrics.
Weird. I don’t remember you criticizing any male podcasters who’ve had him on as a guest… Tim Miller, Piers Morgan, Sam Harris, David Pakman, Chris Kavanaugh, & Matthew Browne.
And I’ve been clear, I don’t care if people do interviews with Hasan Piker. I care if they campaign with him.
Keeping Destiny banned while actively protecting one of America's biggest antisemites speaks volumes about the platform. Its not just a weird convenience either. Twitch itself has a massive antisemitic problem that @djclancy999 refuses to take accountability for.

@TheOmniLiberal@Twitch@djclancy999@hasanthehun So we’re from different worlds, I guess, and there’s probably a lot you might say that I disagree with. I also do love a lot of your content. All that aside, it appears rules are being applied differentially. This is bothersome. And should be reported on.
I've been permanently banned from @Twitch for about 3 years because I said a particular group of militant trans-activists online were "inbred" and that they don't represent the average trans person.
The CEO, @djclancy999, is personal friends with @hasanthehun though, and the two of them are pretty motivated to keep me banned from the site.
The last time I applied for an unban, the Trust and Safety actually granted it and unbanned my account, but Hasan saw I was unbanned, started nervously texting/messaging Clancy, and then Clancy manually rebanned me from the website lol.
Authoritarian types can only exist in echo chambers because they cannot stand to be critically confronted, ever. It's why @hasanthehun avoids any challenging interviews, and why the types like @mehdirhasan will avoid answering actually critical questions from people with the knowledge to question them.
@hasanthehun You should definitely write a book about your struggle, dude. Make sure you identify the ethnicity of the people you're struggling with. Write it in German. It will be so cool.
@TheOmniLiberal As a bonus clip, here’s Hasan Pikers chat reacting to Hasan reading the manifesto Elias Rodriguez days after Elias killed two Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C.
It sure seems that Hasan Piker attracts a lot of people who just so happen to support terrorism!
Just a reminder that Hasan's editor is posting cryptic threats like this against @ossoff while members of Hasan's audience have literally gotten arrested for making phone calls and death threats to the spouses of sitting US Senators after hearing @hasanthehun gloat about how effective the behavior is.
Back in 2020, my community hosted the largest canvassing operation in the state of Georgia over multiple weekends to go out and doorknock for Ossof and Warnock. This is how Hasan felt about it, back before there was any clout in being supportive of either candidate:
Here comes the totally predictable personal attacks, because @mehdirhasan has been exposed as spineless and incapable of dealing with pushback against his palling around with those who openly support terrorist attacks against anyone in the West.
Close, his style is actually faux-confrontional, faux-aggressiveness, which is just like Joe Rogan, funnily enough. He will pretend to be confrontational and aggressive but will absolutely avoid any real confrontation like the plague. He knows that none of his political ideas can survive scrutiny.
