Picking a fight with Hasan Piker while midterms are gearing up is the dumbest fucking idea. The consultant class really is a problem when it comes to meaningful change. (TikTok screencap)

    Hasan continues to be an effective litmus test.

    Like, if in 2026 you’re responding to the call to actively take time and energy out to hate on Hasan, you’re squarely an anti-leftist.

      I think it’s a bit much to say that someone who doesn’t like Hasan is an anti-leftist. I’ll stand by my brothers and sisters in the fight for equality for all but I’m also of the opinion that Hasan is a bit of a douche who probably does more harm than good for the left in the US. I would encourage you to not box out potential allies because of a silly disagreement over a Twitch streamer

        Not liking is one thing. It’s another thing to take the next step and put energy into attacking Hasan. As in: the active practice of boxing out Hasan and any fans of Hasan.
