“Who do you think is closer to the mass expression when it comes to Israel: myself or Jake Tapper? Someone over at Drop Site News or someone over at CNN and MSNBC?”
➤ Hasan Piker says mainstream media’s “permission structure” gives wide latitude to the right while treating much of left-wing thought as dangerous or unserious.
➤“On the left, there is an entire mountain of thought that doesn’t get any airtime, is not considered serious, and is only covered cynically,” he says.
➤ Piker argues mainstream coverage on certain topics, like Israel-Palestine, is “totally out of step” with public opinion, driving audiences toward independent media.
➤ He describes the surge of attacks on him, DSA and the left as a “disciplining operation” meant to separate media figures from the voters after left media became an “undeniable force” and began winning against corporate interests and establishment Democrats.

Hasan Piker’s mom tells Rolling Stone she shares his politics, with a few exceptions: “I’m not in love with China like he is."

Hasan Piker tells Rolling Stone he used to be a huge Joe Rogan fan, back before the Islamophobia and ivermectin.

As Hasan Piker's audience has grown, he’s also become a target. The New York Post sent a drone to photograph his house; he says Fox News has someone whose sole job is to watch his stream and take notes.
“I’m like the new transgender or the War Against Christmas,” he says to Rolling Stone.

A self-described Marxist with an NSF MS NOW vocabulary, @hasanthehun has become famous as a peddler of incendiary takes — not so much moving the Overton window as throwing a brick through it.
“I stream for eight hours a day, seven days a week,” Piker tells Rolling Stone. “I’m gonna say some dumb shit."

republicans are the cancel culture & anti-free speech party! free speech is not about protecting ppl from backlash to hate speech, its supposed to protect speech that truly challenges power. we mustn't let the reactionaries get away w their repression while "owning" 1a!
I’m running for governor to be a voice for working people across Wisconsin. I’m going to keep speaking up, and I’ll never stop fighting. Fixing a broken system requires going everywhere and talking to everyone about what working families are up against and the better future we can build together.
Oliver Larkin, DSA candidate for FL-25, on Fox News today
He discusses OpenAI spending $300k to support incumbent Jared Moskowitz, Hasan Piker supporting him, and his stance on ending all aid to Israel
asmongolds response to being banned for advocating to murder migrant children was to double down and then talk about other kinds of children that should also be murdered. i am not even joking.
