JFC. Last week, my therapist asked me if I knew who Hasan Piker was… it was surrreal… like the internet broke containment and entered real life.
I’m in therapy for stress and anger management… sometimes politics comes up. My therapist is a middle aged wine mom from the suburbs who literally has one of those “Coexist” bump stickers on her Toyota Prius. I told her I disagreed with him on some stuff, but that I’m probably not his audience. She told me she was watching more of his clips on YouTube. I didn’t know what to say to that.
I remember when Trump first came onto the scene and one of the things he was really good at was monopolizing all the attention. I really wonder if all this attention on figures like Hassan is just playing into their hands. After all, they do say that there is no such thing as bad publicity
Exposed for being a stud, oh god the horror
same thing they tried to “expose” Hunters big penis for being a for sleeping with quesitonable women.
Exposed for being a hot beefcake. Very cool, very normal stuff from the Republicans.
Ah so that’s why Grindr crashed
why are they focusing on a twitch streamer at a political convention
I’m legitimately not sure whether, as Hasan Piker, I’d feel more like I’d made it (to some extent you can judge a person by the quality of their enemies) or if I’d worry more about stochastic terrorism.
What, you think they can focus on policy?
Are you for giving people healthcare? - no
Are you for not bombing children? - no
Are you for taxing the wealthy to redistribute to the majority? - no
Are you for making things more affordable and equitable for poor and middle class Americans? - no
Then what are you for?
MEN IN WOMENS SPORTS, VACCINES BAD, EDUCATION BAD, WOKE LIBERAL IDEOLOGY, THEYRE MAKING THE FUCKING FROGS GAY, PEDOPHILES NEED PROTECTION, THINK OF THE POOR BILLIONAIRES, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE RIGHT? FLOCK CAMERAS SHOULD BE INSIDE YOUR HOMES, DATA CENTERS IN YOUR BACKYARD, GIVE ME YOUR SWEET SWEET DATA, WE LISTEN TO YOUR CONVERSATIONS THROUGH YOUR TV --Your average conservative
It’s literally all they got
They ran out of laptops.
I don’t know who this guy is, or why MAGA is so obsessed by him. I’ve never heard one word from him, and don’t even know where Id go to hear him, or see him, or whatever he does. He literally has no influence in my life, at all. I suspect MOST Democrats are like me, and I’m not even a Democrat.
As long as we allow MAGA to keep us on topics like this, we are LOSING. Whenever they bring up this guy, or trans, or Biden, or whatever their wedge issue Boogeyman of the day is, we need to ignore it, dismiss it, bat it away without a single comment about it, and steer the conversation to one of these topics:
Affordability (the big one, it got Trump elected, and it will get Dems elected even more)
Epstein Files: Full disclosure. Trump and his friends are in them
Data Centers: They will destroy everything, and we’ll pay for it.
AI: The future is either a permanent 50%+ unemployment rate, or they murder all of humanity.
Flock Cameras: You will now get daily fines in your mailbox whenever you go 3 mph over the speed limit, and they will track you down and arrest you if you have overdue library books.
ICE: They will kill us, they are already doing it.
Taxing Sociopathic Oligarchs and their Corporations: They will pay their fair share of taxes, including on hidden wealth. If they won’t disclose it, it will be heavily estimated.
Health Care: What health care?
Student Loan Reform: Sure, just saddle your most productive young citizens with a lifetime of debt as soon as the graduate from college. That won’t ever affect the entire economy in a few years, when they can’t afford ANYTHING.
MAGA Corruption: Were just going to let this continue like it’s somehow legal?
The AmerIsraeliWar®: The Draft is coming. The front line of a war is a great place to siphon your dissidents.
Mass Surveillance: If you aren’t doing anything illegal, then what are you worried about? What’s illegal? EVERYTHING!
Investigations, Impeachments, Prosecutions of MAGA crime: A president, a Secretary of Defense, a White House Advisor, a bunch of Homeland security turds, a few SCOTUS justices, some congressmen and senators, etc.
These are the real issues, and we need to take control of every discussion, steer them to these issues, and make them defend their record, and their plans for America’s future.
Funnily enough, I think MAGA is driving more people to Hasan who don’t know him like you. And, I mean, he shares those same opinions so 🤷♂️
MAGA is just obsessed with him because he’s involved with DSA and they’re trying to create an enemy to direct vitriol towards. In this case, it’s the DSA who have had several candidates coming from the left of the Democrats win elections (almost like what they’re running on is popular or something lol.) Being decentralized, they’re trying to name a figurehead so they can demonize the org as a whole through a recognizable figure. Hasan, being a popular streamer, is who they picked seemingly because he was fairly left and said some very provocative things, especially out of context. That’s the attempt at least.
Honestly, capitalism has done a better job at promoting socialism than socialism ever has. And this is kind of case in point lol. People that seek out this crazy radical watch him and recognize his ideas aren’t radical. He wants everyone to have healthcare, to have access to education, to have their tax dollars go towards making everyone’s lives better and not to forever wars and/or billionaires.
This tactic works on those who are uninformed. Those who seek information, it backfires massively.
Same here. I know I’ve heard the name before, but probably only in the context of Republicans freaking out about him. I didn’t know who he is, or why they don’t like him
They don’t like him because his name is HASSAN and criticizes Israel. That’s it.
Issue with affordability, is they blame Dems when not their fault, don’t understand what president and congress can really do about affordability, so if not happy, they assume voting for the other one will fix. Last time they ignored the reasons for inflation, believed the propaganda, and said let’s try maga again. Until the core issue of critical thinking is fixed, and understand how all this works, they will keep following the propaganda on the social feeds they sit and absorb, numb from the artificial scarcity they keep voting for or don’t show up. They are too stressed from that to think and just mindlessly feed on the pacifying videos and graphics.
Voters didn’t care,
Misinformed selfish hasty,
Now nazis kidnafp
Could have voted for,
Progress but were told that Dems,
Make gay trans furries
They mindlessly feed,
On propaganda and lies,
Pacified to sleep
“Not only is he an evil socialist leftist, but he’s also in great physical shape and rather attractive.”
Weird flex, but ok.
I’m guessing that’s why they are so hard on AOC. She is a woman, minority, smart and attractive. They are most upset about being attracted to her.
they made fetishiszed fantasy images of her before too.
I think I figured this out years ago.
So male Boomers became used to being catered to by a never ending parade of blonde Fox News hosts. Who would tell these spoiled bastards how they, the white men of the most economically priviledged generation in history, how they were the victims constantly. And how they should be outraged by that.
So the dopamine reactors of them are now wired to that. Then comes AOC. She’s young, very pretty, and on the news - but she’s NOT telling them that they’re being discriminated against! In fact, her message is that they probably have MORE than their share.
So their brains, wired to have the horny with the outrage, basically go batshit.
botox barbies, now mar-a-lago face.
She’s so hot, and she’ll never fuck a troll like me, no matter how rich I am, so she needs to DIE!
The reaction of the average MAGA.
Republicans are the worst kind of pervert: They not just lie about their attractions, they abuse the people that interest them.
They always pick a target. It’s never policy.
Stupid sexy communists
Dude should be selling GOP yard signs, bumper stickers, and flags with that image on it immediately with all of the proceeds going to the Talarico campaign and some charity the GOP hates. Would probably make a fortune and be a hilarious thing to say the GOP is backdoor funding everything they hate.
The GOP has Hasan derangement syndrome…
In fairness, that’s basically everyone in political journalism right now.
They have actual TDS.
I’d say democrats do too. dude is a creep and has said some pretty horrible shit. why y’all want to tout him as the face of the movement is exactly why nothing will change.
the Republican “I swear we’re not secretly gay” convention.
Grindr’s down again.
convention has once again coincided with the Grindr app crashing in Dallas from heavy usage
Yeah, that is a very funny coincidence.
No better place for a secret hookup for bi and gay republicans - the person they meet at the GOP convention is also desperately keen to keep it secret from everyone.
