For nearly a decade now, Piker, who streams under the name HasanAbi, has been one of the most famous political commentators in America. If you’re a certain type of mainstream liberal—or a not-very-online moderate or conservative, for that matter—you may not have heard of him. His precise class of celebrity is difficult to describe, but in some respects, he has inherited the role of the agenda-setting television pundit for a generation that ditched the traditional medium long ago, if it ever knew it at all. Piker streams every day, weekends and holidays included. Outside of a few bathroom breaks, he’s typically on-camera, by himself, for eight hours uninterrupted. Tens of thousands, sometimes many more, follow along.
Other channels on Twitch, the Amazon-owned livestreaming platform, tend to focus on Fortnite stunts and other video game feeds. Piker doesn’t play too many video games live. Instead, for the most part, his broadcasts consist of him clicking around the huge number of tabs compressed at the top of his Chrome browser. Piker ping-pongs between them, offering mordant insights on irritating New York Times columns, Elon Musk tweets, and Jesse Watters meltdowns. His style is open-ended and rich with digressions—nothing canned, no artifice—and regardless of what he’s currently roasting, Piker is assertively unscripted. Like many of us, he reacts to the bamboozling deterioration of 21st-century life in real time. Unlike most of us, he does it in front of an enormous audience, every day, with a chronic exasperation perfectly tuned for the moment.

He is Cenk Uygur’s nephew
Really? I consider myself politically aware and active and I have never heard of him.
Who’s going to pimp these leftist invented psyop tools without USAID dollars flowing?
How likely would someone named Tojo win national office in 1950?
We already did a Hussein. I don’t think it worked out that well.
Yeah it not the message it how they package it. /s
The Alt Left Democrats still live in denial about what happened in 2024
Something to keep an eye on, actually. He’ll be an easy sell to the virtue signaling ‘We’re Not Racist’ Socialist Democrats.
0bama 2.0? That NOBODY Commie came out of the woodwork and even took down ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named!’
Piker/Hogg 2028? It could happen.
>> Young men actually listen to him.
prison gangs or cucks?
Good one!
Same old “progressive” message, different voice. Can this guy gin up enough bitterness, envy, jealousy, resentment and vengeance to be useful?
“Really? I consider myself politically aware and active and I have never heard of him.”
Ditto, he’s a wannabe attention seeker who knows some reporter at “slate”, another useless garbage dump.
He is pretty we known in the v gaming world. He’s famous for being a lying marxist a-hole who constantly defends the woke cancer that has all but destroyed the v game industry.
Beat me to it. Never heard of the guy.
I agree. They're all dangerous and need to be monitored. We shouldn't be surprised again by someone worming their way behind the scene.
Who?
I’m looking for that Fox Sports radio drop of the guy saying “Never heard of him” because I’ve never heard of this guy till this article. You would think during the 2024 campaign when young people were in play that one of the most famous political commentators in America would have been part of it to save things for the Harris campaign.
I would thing “Hogg-Piker” would appeal more to what’s left of the democrat base.
Some raghead apparently. Calling ICE.
That turned out in kind of an amusing way.
Because they don’t have much else left in their quiver of racial narrative and power-blocs, expect the radical left to double-down on promotion and worship of Islam, to the point where there is a exponential growth of pink-haired lesbians sharing their conversion stories on Tik Tok
