Recomiendo fuertemente la entrevista de Ezra Klein con Hasan Piker. Ademas de ser un tankie, Piker es ignorante a niveles que me sorprendieron, no sabe de historia, no sabe de política pública. Es antes que nada, bruto.
No one thinks Hasan is Muslim stop with the bullshit lmao
Hasan Piker told Ezra Klein about the attitude shift towards him in his own neighborhood because he is an outspoken anti-Zionist:
"I go to a dog-park. My dog and this other lady's dogs play all the time. One day, I'm at the park again and my assistant is walking my dog. I'm playing basketball.
She comes up to her and says, 'How can you work for that man? I know who you work for. How can you work for that man?' This woman I've met many times, had long conversations said, 'He wants Muslims to harm you and all of our daughters.'
There is this tremendous amount of Islamophobia that has grown in the last two years or so. As a socialist, all of my favorite thinkers are radicals, the revolutionaries, they're all Jewish.
All of my closest friends are Jewish; I live in a Jewish neighborhood. It's kind of sad to see the attitude shift from people who are otherwise very progressive that I've known for years. I mean, it sucks."

Someday we are going to have the conversation about how today's far left are actually right wing. They are often racist, sexist, 100% antisemitic and willing to back any FAR right government as long as they hate America and Democracy. There is nothing left about them.

These people are mentally ill.
All of them are old women with, apparently, nothing better to do with their time.
One of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.

A group of Muslim women throw away their Islamic clothes and leave Islam while shouting “Freedom!”
They’re now free women.
Wow @hasanthehun and @mehdirhasan leftist fans sending rape and death threats to a woman yet again, what's new
Arab Twitter is exploding over the video that I took on my phone in the halls of Congress because the woman, Rania Khalek, who lost her mind when I asked simple questions.
Commentators like @KareemRifai are providing critical insights. They note she is a longtime alleged propagandist for Russia and the Assad regime of Syria, now turned “Chinese propagandist.” She has denied the allegations.
Why does this matter?
Individuals like Rania are playing an important role in the cognitive warfare being waged on Americans by America’s adversaries. As analysts note, China is deploying longtime propagandists for Russia. Rania denies being a propagandist and says she is a journalist.
Rania now works as a host for BreakThrough News, which launched with funding from a communist tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, living in Shanghai. BreakThrough news is the first one with video from protests against America. Like in Minneapolis when Alex Pretti was killed.
Why? Because they are the protesters, just like Rania was in Congress.
Its editor is self-described communist Ben Becker, son of Brian Becker, cofounder of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, whose DC coordinator took a video that BreakThrough published on Instagram of Rania’s confrontation with me to call me a “stalker.”
They’re housed in the People’s Forum funded by Singham in Manhattan as a hub for communism and anti-American protests. People’s Forum and Party for Socialism and Liberation lead the
protests against Israel. BreakThrough News films them!
Again, this is an important window into the battlefield of cognitive warfare.
Rania weaponized an old tool to silence me: shame.
My Instagram has now been flooded with leftists calling me a slut, whore, cunt, etc.
Good thing is the Islamists already tried that with me and I learned about the Power and Control Wheel. Anytime you challenge power and control, those in power — whether in a family or
society — resort to character assassination to shame you into silence.
That’s what Rania tried to do with me in the halls of the People’s House but I have traversed a long journey in which the weapons of shame and humiliation are futile on me.
As my parents taught me: act honorably and there is no shame to carry.
What is most important for all of you is to draw lesson from this encounter as a window into malign foreign influence and the cognitive warfare being waged in the world. Against you.

Rachel Weisz says James Bond should remain a male character:
“That’s a male character written by a man for a man.”

Piker should be taken seriously because he's influential -- he speaks to the new radicals, the identity-obsessed, the child-voters. But we shouldn't take his arguments seriously, because they're not arguments. They're word fragments, hodgepodges, a kind of bricolage. His success is his brand -- the stache, the vintage frames, the thick Mangione-style hair, the faux-manly gruffness, the abrasiveness, the empty intellectualism. One million grad students spent the past half-century being this guy, the guy who spouts ad hominem cul de sac blather. The gusto. The ferocity. The half-baked earnestness. He is one-thousand-percent pose, and the right way, the only way, to approach that is not to engage with the ideas but to dismantle them, one by one.
Far-left streamer Hasan Piker defended comparing Jewish Michigan voters to Ku Klux Klan members on “The Ezra Klein Show.”
“I think that there is no difference between a KKK member and what I’m describing in my personal experience,” Piker said.

Every time I hear hasan talk, it’s so easy to tell that he’s just objectively unintelligent
Hasan Piker hits a wall when he tries to tell a man born in the Soviet Union that Americans are just as controlled as people under communism.
Konstantin Kisin shuts down the comparison and lays out the difference.
When he’s done, even Piker admits he’s right.
HASAN PIKER: “A lot of people think, well, as long as I can eat a Big Mac, you know, as long as I can watch TV, as long as I can consume porn [...] then, you know, things are probably fine.”
“It’s a different mechanism of control that makes you think that you are actually an active participant in this.”
Kisin isn’t buying it.
KONSTANTIN KISIN: “The difference between those countries is not that they can’t eat a Big Mac.”
“The difference is that if they criticize the government, in Russia today even, but of course in the Soviet Union previously, you’re going to get killed, right? In America, that’s not what happens, right? In America, you don’t get put in jail.”
HASAN PIKER: “We don’t know yet.”
That’s his whole defense: what MIGHT happen in America.
So Kisin makes it personal.
KONSTANTIN KISIN: “You in China or in the Soviet Union would be killed if you were critical of that regime.”
HASAN PIKER: “I would definitely be jailed, for sure.”
And there it is. Piker makes Kisin’s argument for him.
KONSTANTIN KISIN: “So that’s the difference between these countries and America. It’s not a Big Mac, it’s freedom.”
Only in a free country can you build a career telling people they aren’t free.
CONTEXT: Communist regimes don’t just jail their critics.
Under Stalin, the Soviet secret police executed 681,692 people in two years, by the regime’s own records. That’s more than 900 a day.
Under Mao, the Great Leap Forward killed at least 45 million people in four years, per historian Frank Dikötter.
Under Pol Pot, nearly a quarter of Cambodia’s population was dead within four years.
