Hasan Piker’s ‘Cool Crimes’ Chatter Exposes the Left’s Toxic Rage
New York Post ^ | April 24, 2026 | Rich Lowry

Posted on 04/25/2026 9:22:12 AM PDT by nickcarraway

Is robbing the Louvre a good idea? Left-wing influencer Hasan Piker and New Yorker writer Jia Tolentino did a much-discussed video interview with the New York Times this week on the ethics of theft, and came out four-square in favor of stealing things, including artwork from the Louvre.

SNIP

When asked about the propriety of hitting up the Louvre, Tolentino heartily endorsed it.

Piker explained, “Yeah, I think it’s cool. We gotta get back to cool crimes like that. Bank robberies. Stealing priceless artifacts, things of that nature.”

Private property is only bad if you work for the money to pay for it. If you take it forcefully with violence, it’s cool.

I don’t think it is just toxic rage as much as they want total chaos to help bring on the communist revolution. That’s why they don’t want illegal alien criminals deported. That’s why they want homeless encampments everywhere. That’s why they want criminals and mentally ill people everywhere. They are total losers in life and blame others for how they feel about their miserable lives. They want to bring everyone else down. This Piker guy is successful because he feeds into that chaos.

I think the proper response to “microstealing” is to use “microbullets” when you shoot them.

For example, instead of using .22LR, use .22 shorts, or maybe rock salt.

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a contract out for these two?

The second someone violates a law that impinges upon him he’ll scream like the pussy hypocrite he likely is.

Just like the kids who play at being “anarchists”. Punch one in the face and see how quick he calls the police.

Yes you have the right answer. All their different approaches are variants of Cloward-Piven. All are designed to destroy the existing order and institute Communism.

The varied and weird myriad of 'causes' is another strategy: Like cluster bombing or the "look-- a squirrel" tactic, it is a way to keep us completely occupied with the outrage du jour.

Notice how when you see a politician on the R side on TV, their WHOLE message is: "Look at the Rats !! Look at what they are doing !! Get mad about it !! NOTE: By doing this they are participating with the Commies.

Piker is singularly repulsive to normals but resonates with these anarcho-tyrannicals.

They are all just plain old Commies, baiting us into the final struggle.

Which is coming.

Mercy Otis Warren: She said in her history of the run-up to the American Revolution, that the war was an accomplished fact in everyone's mind about a decade before Lexington and Concord. We need to prepare ourselves.

We need to figure all the above out.

No one is calling him out on his obvious hypocrisy.


If artwork is stolen from the Louvre, where does it go? It ends up in the private collection of some billionaire.


As a progressive, he claims to hate billionaires and love the poor. But we see, he wants to take away from the poor and middle class and give to the rich.

This man and others like him form the neo pagan, hedonistic, decadent core of the Democratic Party. His rants are amusing but they underscore the catastrophe for the American nation and the American people if the Democrats take power.

He was one of the people in Cuba at the luxury hotel using the electricity being routed to them for the regime’s photo op vs. it being provided to the population, including the hospital.

He keeps telling everyone who and what he is, but no one on the Left cares. He’s a star.

Incredible.

This crap was put out by the same Marxists evil ones as the ‘squatter’ crap about moving into homes of people on vacation. Can’t any so called ‘journalist’ ever move beyond the surface?

Why does Hasan Piker want a communist revolution? He's effing rich! Like so many of these crazy lefties (Mamdani being another great example) he comes from an affluent upbringing. If there was a communist revolution he'd be stood against the wall and shot.

Let's go burglarize Hasan Piker's house! I think that would be a cool crime! Maybe kidnap him too for extra coolness.

They want clicks …. Plain and simple. Theyre smart enough to know the policies they support are counterproductive to civilization and the economic health of the nation…. So they disingenuously say stupid things and try and rationalize them to get clicks.
