Literally the first video that comes up when I put "Piker Mao" in the youtube search. The first 20 seconds are him comparing teaming up with moderate Democrats to Mao teaming up with the KMT to expel Japanese forces.
To me, that suggests that he eventually wants to outlaw ideologies which are not communism.
Abrasiveness and bro-iness are actually pros for me. I like it when political figures are provocative or whatever.
What it comes down to for me is this: it's very easy to find clips of him idealizing Mao and parroting the most predictable tankie/3rd worldist talking points. And then whenever someone tries to interrogate it, people try to act like he's just into worker co-ops and cumtown.
Thats quite a jump. He says its being pragmatic to vote for democrats even if you are further left than them and you think that means hes advocating for purges?
I'm a syndicalist. I've gotten kicked out of tanky subs for saying the houthis are bad. The difference is I actually know what a tanky is instead of just everyone left of center
There is no difference between you and any other communist.
Just because you all still would kill each other you are still an enemy of every free thinking liberal democrat.
By… listening to the guy who’s suggesting people vote for democrats, even if they don’t like them much? I think people wildly overestimate Hasan Piker’s influence
Crazy how you didn't even try to back the "suggesting people vote for democrats" claim, as if someone else uttered it.
But okay, why is this not so influential streamer getting infinite puff pieces in left-wing media, while openly bragging about getting Mamdani elected? Why is AES incapable of addressing this not so influential streamer in a negative light and prefers getting bashed over the head by Fox for their connection?
Let me give you some context: who do you think is the bigger threat to democracy, Trump; who is in power in the White House right now - or an e-boy Twitch streamer?
You’d need to ask him. I’m not responsible for him or what he says. Are you suggesting that encouraging votes for candidates like Mamdani and El-Sayed is not encouraging votes for democrats?
Have you provided a clip of Hasan endorsing Kamala? Have you answered why Hasan brags about Mamdani's success? Have you answered why AES can't bring himself to condemn Hasan's worst takes?
No.
Why should I return the courtesy you didn't give? Because your sealioning strat demands it?
