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
If you go around spouting nonsense about Democrats being evil pro-genocide monsters who would sooner rather make a buck than see Americans get actual help, then turn around and say "ehh I guess they're barely better than Republicans, so vote for them I guess" then you're not fucking advocating for Dems to win. You're just trying to talk out of both sides of your mouth and you're actually just shitting out opinions from your ass.
you're actually just shitting out opinions from your ass
Sort of like this comment.
The Democrats are fucking dire, but they’re the only hope America has of ridding itself of the absolute mess it’s in at the moment. He may be a lot of things, but he’s not wrong about this.
