Trump on Hasan Piker:

Hasan Piker is a terrible liability for the Democratic Party.

He is a communist — there’s no question about it.

The media is obsessed with Hasan, it mirrors the obsession chud youtubers have with him.

It's kind of terrifying in a way, because someone as irrelevant as Hasan (in terms of actual power) being blasted on the 24/7 news cycle really shows how scared they are when someone shows the slightest amount of leftism and disagreement with liberalism/capitalism.

Yea, I think they view him as the reason that people are pro Palestine/ anti Israel now. They are completely wrong of course, but that's what great man theory does to liberals.

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 57 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

This is a good point. Liberals can only comprehend domestic opposition to the US (or the "West" more broadly) under a framework of social contagion. They are doomed to reverse the cause and effect eternally. Hasan is one prominent example, but this is the case in general. Before Hasan was in the spotlight, widespread hatred of "Israel" was TikTok's fault. Or going further back, it couldn't be that the public broadly rejected Hillary Clinton, it had to be Russian bots on Facebook. The public is never allowed to be correct in their judgement of things like "genocide is abhorrent," or "we need to disarm and dismantle the fucking pigs," or "Brian Thompson deserved it." The explanation always has to be that the public is immature, or it's being tricked. The cause must always be externalized to some "outside agitator." Why else would the humble slaves raise their scythes in anger against their benevolent masters?

From the Liberal point of view, the institutions are tautologically legitimate. They can never fail. They can only be failed by substandard leadership. They are fundamentally incapable of separating concepts like "democracy" from their idols, the US and "Israel." They cannot possibly comprehend why the destruction of the US and "Israel" are prerequisites to justice, democracy, civil liberty, academic freedom, cultural inclusivity, world peace, and all the other great things Liberals generally believe in abstract.

Good insight. Nothing is happening because of the material conditions the working class experiences. It's all because of Putin.

I've said it before, but Anastasia's portrayal of the Russian Revolution, as the result of hapless masses ensorcelled by a dark wizard, is unironically how liberals see their opposition.

Hitler cast a spell on Germany, so now that he's gone they can go back to being chill blob-no-thoughts

I hadn't thought about this, but it makes too much sense

He's the perfect target for this, traditionally masculine and attractive and enough white-passing to be a great man but enough guy named Hasan to be the public enemy

[–] free_casc@hexbear.net 51 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's terrifying (because any of us would get the same [worse?] treatment if we had any prominence or led an effective org/movement), but it heartening to see that it isn't really working at all. The liberal base is ready to roll right over their own party/media establishment if that's what it takes to get rid of the Republicans.

There's a whole lot of leftward momentum that's going to emerge in the 2030's, even though it isnt really revolutionary in nature. This is not a bad thing.

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 43 points 4 days ago (8 children)

I think there is more revolutionary sentiment than people realize, I've seen average libs calling for "impeaching every Republican" and cheering on Iranian strikes on Amazon's facilities, the Mangione fans, etc. They talk about "getting money out of politics" but probably the only way that would be possible would be through a socialist revolution. I do feel heartened by people's attitude lately, though I'm in a bit less racist area than a lot of the US.

He fried the brains of so many people in the media this week, by (rightly) calling the US a larger terrorist threat to the world than Al-Qaeda. I like to think it made a few people think at least. Real people I mean, not the liberal braintrust.

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 66 points 4 days ago (1 children)

For all the issues one might have with Hasan, I think there are lessons to be learned from his competence at optics. He comes with a 21st century attitude ready that fairly effectively counters 21st century propaganda.

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 39 points 4 days ago (3 children)

He has a decade of experience on purity testing by leftists and smear campaigns from the worst people you know, old school liberals and fascists don't hold a candle to twitter anarchists and cultist right wingers/"centrists" when it comes to this shit

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The “centrists” fight so fucking dirty. Nothing is sacred to them except right wing economics.

In order to put right wing economics into practice, you have to build israels everywhere you can

Israel is just a giant aircraft carrier enforcing right wing economic interests

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 31 points 4 days ago

I don't think he does a great job at countering Twitter anarchists because all he does is scream at them incredulously, but he doesn't need to do a good job because no one gives a shit what Twitter anarchists say and they have no power to manufacture outrage like the fascists and "centrists" do.

The president beefing with a twitch streamer is crazy. Can't wait for LSF to defend Trump.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 29 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Do I want to know who or what LSF is?

[–] dead@hexbear.net 47 points 4 days ago

It's /r/LiveStreamFail. It's one of the top subreddits on reddit. It pretends to be a subreddit which shows "fails", ie clips of unfortunate events happening on live streams.

However LSF was being secretly moderated by one of Destiny's moderators named 'Stale2000'. The mods of the subreddit would boost clips that were negative towards Hasan and remove clips which were positive towards Hasan.

CNN yesterday was talking about "How crazy it was that he said the USA is a bigger terrorist threat than Al-Qaeda" and not even engaging with what he said

Just an automatic assumption that he's wrong

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 44 points 4 days ago (4 children)

That's what makes the best propaganda. You don't argue your point trying to convince people you're right, you assume your position is already correct and accepted & move forward from there

As a podcast once said, the atomic unit of propaganda is not lies, but emphasis. Direct people away from the question and why he said it and just focus on the idea of the claim being offensive.

Nowadays every time conservatives disparage people with accusations of "communism", they inadvertently make communism seem cooler not only because it "triggers" them, but also because they're such bloodthirsty and psychosexually stunted dweebs that whatever they don't like is cool by default. This is naturally quite fine by me but I think there's gonna be a lot of disappointed youths when they find out about all the reading and how boring it is when things work well after an admittedly exciting lifetime of going from crisis to crisis.

yep. ain't nothing more effective at creating leftists than letting conservatives "govern"

I'm kind of surprised he didn't mention how handsome he was haha

If Trump actually met Hasan, he would instantly like him.

I'm no Hasan fanboy but I honestly think the dude need to GTFO America. The rights fixation on him is either gonna end with him in CECOT or some random CHUD trying to firebomb his house.

Go live with the BoyBoy dudes for a few years, you seem to get along with them.

Well there you have it Hexbear. Unlike you liberals :^)

This idea that everything that happens outside in the real world needs to be posted into the slop comm is detrimental to the website. The slop comm was intended to be a place for things that are so offensive that it harms people. Now almost everything is posted in the slop comm. It is the second largest comm and growing. The slop comm is not serving its intended purpose of protecting users from actually harmful content.

Donald Trump is the president of the United States. Hasan Piker is a friend of Chapo Trap House. This is Chapo Trap House comm. Neither of the subjects are so offensive that they need to be quarantined. The president of the united states beefing with a twitch streamer is a notable subject of discussion and related to the Chapo Trap House universe.

Hasan's twitch stream was basically a spin-off show from the Chapo podcast. Chapo promoted Hasan in 2019. Felix Biederman is a good friend of Hasan. Felix helped launch Hasan's twitch audience by co-streaming Fortnite in 2018.

Are you Chapo Trap House? Why are you saying that a friend of the podcast shouldn't be discussed in a community focused on the podcast?

Trump's gonna end up inviting him to the white house and then fawning over him like he did Mamdani.
