    Hasan Piker is an inherently peaceful person, he takes the ideas of leftism seriously and in that sense he is a lot like a younger Bernie Sanders in many ways.

    You don’t have to like Hasan Piker, you can think he is full of shit, or just dead wrong… but what you can’t do is claim Hasan Piker is antisemitic because the evidence of it is laughable. Hasan specifically calls out criticism of Israel that is based on antisemitism and not on a rational analysis of geopolitics that puts what is happening into a broader context. He despises antisemites as I do.

    I have watched hours and hours of Hasan Piker, I put my entire lemmy profile and everything I have commented as a form of endorsement of Hasan Piker. If you cannot bring yourself to believe I am antisemitic than I implore you to recognize the same about Hasan Piker, this is a seriously dangerous precedent and we must not let it go because Hasan has been so relentlessly slandered by corporate mainstream media.

      Inherently peaceful person LMAO

      Actual terrorist supporter, genocide denier is an inherently peaceful person.

      Why did that peaceful person say: “We think the houthis, Ansar Allah, are doing what luffy(anime pirate from one peace) would do.” For context, what they were doing was kidnapping civilians and holding them hostage. Not to mention a bit of slavery on the side.

      Why did he say: “I don’t have a problem with Hezbollah”, seems very peaceful indeed.

      He said Russia was justified in taking Krimea.

      He doesn’t believe in the Uygur genocide in China.

      He literally tweeted a picture of the gun that killed Japanese politician at a US senator. What was he trying to say there?

      Get that communist, Russia supporting fuck out of Europe. We don’t want your radicals here.

            I don’t see how that really even matters at this point, but probably something like what happened to the whites in South Africa, although the white society in South Africa wasn’t as nearly as brutal as israeli society.

            So come to think about it, i’m thinking more of something like the french in algeria if you want i guess.
