Who’s Afraid of Hasan Piker? He’s hot. He’s “dangerous.” Young men actually listen to him. Is he what Democrats are looking for?

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.

Yes, the woke mob descended on game developers years ago. Race swapping, gender swapping, gay and tranny crap, leftist messaging all of it. It has cost them millions.

Let us see how well Slate does once all direct and indirect Federal cash disappears.

The entire left is astroturf—government propaganda laundered through NGOs of every imaginable kind.

“We are coming to live in separate worlds.”

Its worse even than you say,

Good people can permit differing views, and will allow an opposite opinion as if somewhere there is some validity for which you and I may never agree but may acknowledge an application.

This is not whats happening, its like we’re being airdropped into some hellish cityscape with red particulate skies and an inferno with dark clouds visible at the edge of town. Some horror movie where they all scream wickedness from their faces and having a very real demonic undercurrent propelling them along to their destination.

They believe that Obama, Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari, Macron, Trudeau, Gates, Starmer, Fauci and all these evil like-minded reprobates are right and just and true.

Like with Hamas on October 7th, 2023. There is nothing for Israel to accept, to permit, to talk with or to even attempt communication or understanding toward. It is absolute evil which cannot be tolerated. They do not exist in our world any more and must be cutoff.

They have been given over to Satan to build his coming anti-Christ Beast Kingdom on the Earth. Satan is only guessing at the timeline.

"Woke video games?"

The left has targeted video games for years.

There was Gamergate and now Sweet Baby Inc which acts as a woke game consultant.

I like to point out to my woke idiot relatives and co-workers that Trump, Gabbard, RFK and Musk were all Democrats. Now Democrats are expected to mindlessly hate them.

That's a great point.
