“Reading good books, always studying, regardless of the work she intends to do, should be a part of every girl’s plan for her life. The only way not to let what we’ve gained be taken away from us is to be smart and capable, to learn to design the world better than men have so far done.”

Hasan stans the Houthis, jokes about Syrian babies getting gassed, frequented a brothel that was raided for sex trafficking, claimed that it’s not a big deal if a couple of girls don’t go to school in Afghanistan post Taliban takeover, was a raging dick about Amber Heard and Blake Lively, said the United States deserved 9/11, and that’s the tip of the iceberg.

So let me get this straight: this year’s White House Correspondents dinner didn’t have Trump there, had no comedian mocking him, and they instead awarded Alex Thompson for ratfucking Joe Biden, and he got up in front of a microphone to still spread the Fox News conspiracy theory that Biden had huge cognitive decline and there was massive coverup—all on the day of the pope’s funeral where Biden looked great and Trump fell asleep?

This is why liberals will never stop hating the media. They wanted the fascist back because they love Trump, they wanted higher ratings again, they hated Biden because his competent administration was boring for them, and during a time when right-wing lunatics are trying to destroy the government, they’re doubling down and rewarding themselves for ratfucking Biden. Fuck these people forever. The most self-important fascist enablers around

“His brand of masculinity” oh you mean outright misogyny? You mean mocking Amber Heard when she was smeared and humiliated in front of the world by her rapist, saying it’s okay to rape Ivy League college girls because they’re rich, and saying he doesn’t care if women were raped on 10/7? Is that his brand of masculinity? Does being a rabid misogynist not detract from his “progressive” brownie points because no one gives a fuck about women? And that’s not even touching his rabid antisemitism with his Hamas apologia and how he interviewed a fucking terrorist from the Houthis on his show like “omg he likes anime 😍”

Also wtf is this conservative framing with saying a masculine, fit body is “MAGA”? How is that not buying into the “effeminate liberal” stereotype? The New York Times is such fucking trash.

Two years later, in July 2020, during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, Piker called police, under the guise of a wellness check, on his ex-girlfriend Janice Griffith for not responding to his messages. He lived twelve minutes away. Her best friend warned him not to make the call. “I wasn’t suicidal, I did not imply I would take my own life or even harm myself,” Griffith wrote on X. She explained that when she dealt with actual overdoses in the past, she had called 911 for the overdose “after ACTUALLY exhausting all other options,” which Piker did not do. When Griffith tried to discuss the incident privately with Piker, he ignored her attempts at communication for a month. She later stated she couldn’t escape his online presence due to their shared audience in leftist spaces. When confronted about this incident on Twitch by a viewer, Piker admitted that he knew he was putting Griffith in danger by calling the police, but did it anyway. He could give no real reason for why he actually made the call.

In 2021, controversy arose again over Piker’s visit to a German brothel. He posted videos from a strip club and, on an episode of the Leftovers podcast, framed his brothel experience as pro-sex work advocacy. Although Piker, defending himself, claimed that the establishment had only ever faced simple tax evasion charges, investigators had previously conducted a sting operation on the brothel for sex trafficking. The brothel had connections to organized crime and appeared in a case that convicted a child sex trafficker. Though the brothel was cleared of tax evasion, Piker has nevertheless continuously downplayed his use of the brothel’s services.

Ocasio-Cortez should not have spent any time legitimizing him, nor should Sanders, nor should their staffs.

Leftist Jew-hating Andrew Tate is not the answer to Joe Rogan/Andrew Tate, they just hate Jews like he hates Jews so any other behavior is going to be overlooked.

Notably the writer appears to also be obsessed with Gaza/‘Genocide’ terminology and using “Zionist’ as a pejorative, and Piker being to repugnant for them is just fucking hilarious to me.
