I see American leftists are fetishizing Mao again.
Part of what got me involved in SF politics was @DSA_SF hosting sycophantic Mao readings in 2023 and trolling Chinese Americans who pointed out the history.
you should probably object to the lionization of Mao due to the fact that he directly killed millions of people. he doesn't just "wear a Mao suit", he likes him, and "refuses to mock him". why not mock him? he's a colossal failure who massacred and worked millions to death

Hasan genuine question how is it beneficial to any good movement for you to wear a mao outfit? This just seems like rage bait for clicks. Do you realize that looks bad for DSA candidates cause they are associated with you. Do you want to make it harder or easier for them?
The same people telling you not to support @hasanthehun , or anyone he supports/endorses are the same people who told you to vote Kamala because she’s the best pick for you, just remember that.
They don’t care about people making their own choices, because they are too busy ratfucking others.
Would you, as a Democrat, vote for who you think is best, or vote for who the Democrat party says to vote for because otherwise you are “anti-liberal” and “undemocratic”.
It's amazing how well Hasan Piker controls the narrative surrounding him.
Hasan comes from a rich family in Turkey and makes a whole lot of money. He makes over $1 million on the low end in subs per year.
This doesn't consider sponsorships and paid speaking engagements
You: "I want to kill conservatives"
Me: "Wow, that sounds a bit extreme."
You: "Liberals get the bullet too"
Me: "Wow, I don't like you at all, and I don't want you anywhere near me"
You: "How dare you. All I want is some free healthcare."
70k dead in Palestine: "GENOCIDE!!!"
45 million dead in China: "Didn't happen, but if it did it was an accident, and if it wasn't then it wasn't a big deal because they were landlords or something."
So @dpakman dared to make a video criticizing @hasanthehun's decision to wear a Mao suit to a @CollegeDems event and for them banning me from entry for no reason. This is the resulting behavior, fully endorsed by the @Twitch platform:
🚨 BREAKING: THE KANSAS YOUNG DEMOCRATS HAVE CONDEMNED HASAN PIKER.
They now join a GROWING list of organizations, politicians, and influencers publicly criticizing Hasan.
More college chapters across the country are expected to SPEAK OUT in the coming hours and days.
This is quickly becoming MUCH bigger than just one controversy.
Hasan Piker: “I never would and never will criticize Mao Zedong. He is one of the great leaders of this world.”
(Mao Zedong was responsible for the deaths of at least 40 million people.)
Throwing out an advocate for Democrats who has raised over $1,000,000 USD for candidates and actually helped flip seats Red to Blue in order to protect the ego of someone who has only helped unseat Democrats for far left arsonists is...a choice
