As someone who found out about him about a year ago... Yea he's said dumb stuff, but who hasn't?

From the rest I've seen he's constantly pushing leftist candidates and ideas and he seems to be in a space that's dominated by right wing Nazi dipshits, so having him in there is a good thing.

The whole nepo baby comment I don't know and don't give a shit if true, the entire right is funded and bankrolled by Russians and fascists so I'm not going to nit pick.

    On the matter of nepotism, his uncle is Cenk Uygur who is the co-creator of The Young Turks (a progressive news show). Hasan acknowledges that he benefited from nepotism to launch his career as a political commentator since he got his start working for The Young Turks with his uncle. It's not like he hides it or presents himself as "self-made" or any other bullshit like that, so I don't really have a problem with it either.

    You don't see the problem with dumb people following a rich person? Do you hear yourself right now?

    I do see a problem with dumb people following rich people, which is why I'm a socialist. I don't see Hasan as a leader, I see him as a comrade. Socialism is not a poverty cult, the rich can be class traitors too and it matters where their money came from and if they're honest about it. Hasan also puts his money where his mouth is, donating to campaigns, mobilizing his audience to campaign, funding and fundraising for causes like the PCRF, and delivering aid to and platforming Cubans suffering under US sanctions. Anyone who consistently delivers materially to the working class deserves the benefit of the doubt.

    First off, he never helped Cubans. He showed up to clout chase and go on vacation. Secondly, he only donates large amount to arabic causes, probably a racist. He begs for money for causes while wearing D & G, directly propagating the system he claims to want to change. Again he claims this and that but acts like a PoS everytime I seen him. He is a demagogue and I hate how no one sees it.

    During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Piker, in partnership with CARE International, raised over $200,000 for Ukrainian humanitarian aid while playing Elden Ring, with an average of over 70,000 people watching his coverage of the conflict.[64][65][66]

    In the aftermath of the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake, Piker organized a fundraiser that was also contributed to and promoted by other streamers and content creators, including Jacksepticeye, Valkyrae, Ludwig Ahgren, and IShowSpeed. As of February 10, the fundraiser had raised over $1,200,000 for charities such as CARE International's Turkish and Syrian branches, as well as two Turkish NGOs: the AKUT Search and Rescue Association and Ahbap, which was founded by Turkish musician Haluk Levent.[67][68][69]

    During the Gaza war, Piker's charity drive on his channel had raised over $1,000,000 as of October 21, 2023, for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, American Near East Refugee Aid, Medical Aid for Palestinians, and the Palestine Red Crescent Society.[70][71]

    During a March 2026 livestream, Piker helped raise more than $56,000 for congressional candidate Oliver Larkin.[79] Wired called this an example of content creators using their online influence for direct fundraising.[79]

    1. He played video games and didn't put any of his own money up. He used this as clout.

    2. Ofc he cares about the people that look and talk like him. That isn't being altruistic, that's enriching your own community. IE zionism

    3. Is oliver Larkin the only politician? Idk why endorsement of one politician makes you a good guy, Alex jones loved Ron Paul.

    Because sycophants don't like facts let me point out you lies one by one. Islamic armies have invaded and almost took over multiple times in history, that's a fact.

    Turkey and syria are his people he cares about, that isn't altruistic that's enriching your own community.

    In Cuba he did 0 donations in fact he is such a fake he is rubbing his wealth in cuban faces and partying. Those who raised that money had nothing to do with hasan.

    He has donated to Cuba multiple times, he's an American, and he's an atheist.

    It's pretty clear you're incredibly racist. I hope you get help for that, sincerely. The world is better off when people like you get better.

    I've said dumb shit but Hasan is genuinely a egomaniacal pathological liar and frequently calls for violence both explicitly and in coded language. He is also ridiculously, like insanely slanderous to anyone who looks at him wrong. He fosters a community of people that other creators are terrified of so they walk on eggshells around him.

    Ok now I know you are either a troll or shill. Everything you said is just wrong and lies and you won't be able to back any of it up becuase there is hours of video of him proving the exact opposite.

    The only time I've seen him say vile things is when he's making fun of Conservatives and ironically saying the vile shit they actually believe.

    IE this entire fucking post and the reason for the lawsuit!!
