Why does the left give Hassan Piker a pass?
For all the legacy media's obsessive warnings about far-right extremist Nick Fuentes, it has shown far less interest in confronting a dangerous left-wing counterpart: Hasan Piker.

Couldn't open the article. Had no idea who Hassan Piker is so I did a quick google search. Do you consider Politico as legacy? They call him out. www.politico.com

Go ahead and defend Piker, Sycophant. I know his messaging because he's been mainstreamed on the left. No mainstream conservative outlet would ever give Fuentes the time of day like NYT has done for Piker.

Her article should have been titled, "Whataboutism 101, Lessons in Logical Fallacies".
It's just another Rwing Whine; "But, Mommy, Little Hasan does it, too!".
Is that supposed to make it acceptable behavior?
Claiming hypocrisy is NOT an argument, much less a news article.

I saw this guy's name mentioned here a few times last week.
Looked him up and learned he's a podcaster who apparently was meh about a few stolen lemons.
And for some reason pedoringer has his panties all wadded over him.
I mean, I'm not surprised he's full of fauxrage over something he's been told to be fauxraged over, that's his MO.

idk seems kind a graphic, seems like he stands for KILLIN capitalist.
Did you see his speech this last week at the DSA? No? Basically, he's said the DSA is using the Democratic Party as a vehicle to implement his "killing".
He is more extreme than the extremist the Democrat Elite (SPLC) say they are against.

idk I haven't seen Nick's statements as crazy as Hasan.
But I will say you Lumpers run around claiming everyone is a NaAZI, yet you support a literal NAZI, and Hasan.
Did you know the extremist Palestinian movement was fostered by Nazi Germany? Seems like the Democrat party is going down the same path, and no one but me is worried about it.

again several of "you people" show ignorance of what's going on.
THE FACE OF TODAY'S DEMOCRAT PARTY AND A GUY WHO WOULD GET ALONG WITH "YOU PEOPLE">..
Piker is a supporter and worker on the Abdul El-Sayed campaign for senator from Michigan. when asked about Piker's comments Abdul had nothing but praise for the radical zealot podcaster who is on recorded proof of saying....
"america deserved 911"
"it doesn't matter if fucking rapes happened on Oct 7"
"kill them. murder them. let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood"
"I support Hamas over Israel....every single time"
"we must end the American empire. If we do not do this, then the american empire will come to an end in a much more violent way"
"date rape better if it happens to rich women."
"kill your landlord"
look it up..I'd say google it but you'll have to search a while...NO SOURCE YOU'RE

Two different markets.
Hasan is beyond Joe Rogaine, Piker's been the darling of DNC royalty at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.
He's had photos with all the DNC elites. Even joining Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, for two upcoming rallies in the state.

the same way the despicable trash take a GUILTY PLEA in Minnesota to Abdirashid Said
and convicted him of the largest theft of medicaid dollars in Minnesota history.
He returned ONLY 2.2 million of what he stole and was gifted a sentence of 5 years
PROBATION...NO JAIL TIME.
This is how justice is served to the Minnesota taxpayers UNDER DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP in

Pretty sure Hasan Piker isn't currently perpetrating genocide or vaporizing schoolgirls on behalf of the Epstein gang, so he's got that going for him.
But STD's scatterbrained, syphilitic spurtings indicate that he says mean and/or provocative things from time to time so definitely he needs to be placed on the "might someday become a complete POS like Trump" list if he ever gets around to joining the star-bellied contingent of the current fascist ruling elite.

Whenever I read that stupid word LUMPER on the DR I think of poor, dear LUMPKIN, a deceased confederate sailor who ended-up an unfortunate victim of the 1863 H.L. Hunley expedition to the bottom of Charleston Bay, SC. They don't even know poor LUMPKIN'S first name; all they know is that his recovered skull habitually smoked a pipe and had a notch in one of its teeth from smoking it for so damn long ...

"Piker's rise comes amid a troubling tolerance for political violence on the left"
Ok dear. Tolerance for violence. Not actual violent acts? I wonder if there's any actual political violence going on. Let's see what the right is up to. ICE going Anne Frank in Minneapolis. Overthrowing Maduro. Starting a war with Iran.
Let me suggest: Piker's rise comes amid a troubling (to libs only) outbreak of deadly political violence on the right."
