TIL that Hasan Piker’s interviews are researched behind the scenes by Eric Hovagim, a socialist producer who now lives in China and has been featured by Chinese state media for his pro-Beijing commentary.
Shoutout to the Periphery Podcast and Noa Fears for this lovely little piece of information.
Not calling out @ContraPoints in particular, but there is a reason why people tend to only heavily criticize one side.
Take @ryancbeard for example. He made a "nuke" about me that's sitting at over 900,000 views right now. Obviously I disagree with the vast majority of it, but it's fairer than most. He announced he was going to make a video covering the weird snarker/lefty types, and was bullied so hard on just the announcement that he never even followed through with the video:
I’ve been waiting for this to blow over but it’s been years, so I have to address it: can one of the 100,000 leftists on here for whom it’s an essential article of faith that I am a “genocide-loving Zionist” explain—why? Despite my condemning the genocide dozens of times and never saying anything positive about Israel in my entire life?
Hey @hasanthehun , I sent this email your way a few days ago. I think we can raise $5m to directly support Palestinian children if you agree to share the stage with @TheOmniLiberal for a good-faith, helpful discussion. Steven has already agreed to participate. Please let me know ASAP whether we can come together for an hour or so to make an important difference.
