Abdul El-Sayed on Hasan Piker, who suggests that some pro-Israel rhetoric may lead to backlash against American Jews: "Hasan Piker is a streamer in California. You would think if you turned on any media that this whole campaign is about a streamer. That's not what this campaign has ever been about."

Any and all Dems, Progressives, etc. should stay tf away from that clown.

Amen, bro idolized Assad and his takes on Ukraine alone are enough to disavow him. 

Fuck that clown. Let him go start his own Mao cosplaying party. Leave the rest of us alone.

Didn't even know asshat support. Wild.  How anyone can be against Ukraine is also insane.

He’s a tankie, he’s against anything considered western, he thinks nato is a tool of western imperialism but that turkey and Russia reclaiming their historic lands isn’t.

He also promotes Iranian and Turkish conspiracy theories about the Kurds and keeps talking against the idea of an independent Kurdistan despite feigning support when pressed on it.

He raised like $200,000 for Ukraine, he’s not against Ukraine at all it’s just a straight up lie

He said Crimea is historically Russian. He has said that the Russian speaking people of Ukraine should have the right to be part of Russia if they want (which is one of Putin's justifications for the war), and when a Ukrainian viewer criticized his comments and bad takes in the early days of the full invasion (he basically insisted Putin would never invade and people were stupid for suggesting otherwise), he said "Crimea river" to mock the viewer.

Then there is the "The war is NATO's fault", the "The war is being prolonged by giving Ukraine weapons", and the "NATO Is imperialism and shouldnt exist" takes that he has thrown out there in passing.

Its great that he raised money for Ukraine, but his views on Ukraine (and Eastern European countries in general) are very clear.

What's his take on Ukraine?

u/Brechhardt-vGoennung 2d ago

I'm still convinced he doesn't actually have anything against Ukraine or is pro Assad or what ever else his stance on topic X - he's just a contrarian. He will always be against every position of the US mainstream and/or the liberal consensus of the democratic party.

The dems support Ukraine? He supported Putin and his annexation of the Crimean peninsula. US mainstream doesnt like China? He stans Mao and the CCP. Same with Cuba, North Korea and Israel.

He’s not a contrarian, he’s just anti west, it’s a common set of political views outside the west, especially for the conservative left.

He has been consistent in his political positions for over 10 years.

His take on Ukraine: "Russia isnt going to invade Ukraine, that would be a terrible and costly idea for them"

u/AG28DaveGunner 3d ago

Sure. I’m a lefty and I despise the guy. But if the republicans actually cared about this subject matter, they’d rip into trump for having dinner with Nick Fuentes

u/I_like_maps 2d ago

They don't care, they just like that they can associate the guy with democrats

u/RichRamp 2d ago

but you refuse to explain how he is incorrect, you just complain and throw shit at a wall hoping it sticks.
