The latest Piker ‘scandal’ is an Axios interview in which he compared death tolls for al-Qaeda and the U.S. – something Trump has done for Russia and the U.S.
They are so many real issues going on in this country to focus on Hasan Piker, over and over, like a punching bag! It doesn’t matter if Piker is controversial or not, because it doesn’t bring the gas prices down. I understand Piker is speaking about subjects that no one has the balls to talk about, about the actions and involvement of the USA. in all the atrocities around the world, stamped and funded by this country! At the end of the day, vote in November. Focus. The goal is to flip the tables. Vote for Progressives, but vote. Don’t stay on the sidelines if you don’t like what we see everyday since Trump took office.
After roughly 3000 people were killed in the 9-11 attacks, we started a global "War on Terror" that served as a very convenient rationale for killing hundreds of thousands of people. We also created an Orwellian "Department of Homeland Security" that has eroded personal freedom here in our so-called "homeland". We're so deep in denial about our own atrocities that if anyone even mentions them, they get attacked for being un-American. Talk about supporting terror - look no further than Central and South America to see all the murderous dictators we've supported and the horrors they've committed with our strategic and tactical help. And yes, Indonesia, Vietnam, Iran under the Shah ... the list is long and still growing.
People, most importantly democrats, must be able to see through the bullshit being created here. Piker is a Twitch streamer. He rambles, pontificates, expounds and rants for hours on end, every day and about all kinds of things, including politics. The smear attacks against him are subterfuge, picking short sentences out of lengthy and often complex diatribes to his followers, and then warping the meaning into some kind of twisted gotcha. It is beyond ridiculous that anyone buys into this nonsense.
Not saying Piker isn't controversial. He's a Twitch streamer! That's how he gets views, likes, followers and sponsors. He's not someone I listen to but I have listened to him. And he's not the evil boogey man he's being made out to be. I can't believe this is something people still fall for.
Also they (very much including the dems) never went this hard against joe rogan even though everything he said between 2016 and 2024 was infinitely more stupid and ridiculous and offensive than anything Hasan Piker has said.
Late 19th Century: Cheeto’s Gilded Age And Today’s Robber Barons
From 1870 to 1900(or 2016 to 2026) there were powerful industrialists and financiers(technocrats and crypto) who built massive fortunes using ruthless, monopolistic, and often unethical business tactics. It was the age of the robber barons who dictated to politicians what they needed to pursue advancing their wealth to the detriment of the average citizen. JP Morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Vanderbilt(aka Bezos, Huang, Altman, Buterin, Musk) were the major players. It was the Gilded Age complete with high protective tariffs(aka 50% Canadian tariffs among many others) to fund the government(21st century secondary tax system) before the time of income taxes and JIm Crow with disregard for native Americans in Western expansion(21st version of immigrant deportation).
Historians often label the 7 presidents as "forgettable" or "weak" because real political power resided heavily in Congress(21st century power resided in the lower judiciary) and political machines(21st century fascist MAGA Republicans)rather than the White House. McKinley/Cheeto at the end of the age presided over the Spanish American war(Venezula and Iran) in a brief 1898 conflict between the United States and Spain that ended Spain's colonial empire and established the U.S. as a global power(21st century wanna be dictator).
The end of the Gilded Age began when WE the People began the Progressive Era(1900 -1920) which saw the rise of intense social and political reform. Join a local Indivisible chapter or start your own to bring a unified voice against today's robber barons who seek to destroy the democratic republic for their own needs....see Duran's The Nerd Reich.
ay ay: the author of this article needs serious study of history!
In Vietnam- another killing spree on the inspiration of zeus- like obsession to stop them from going commie, 10 yr bombing , agent orange to destroy greenery- killed off 3.83 MILLION brown " viets" with full attendance of absolute nazi++ planned cruelty .
More: there is a Spreadsheet of killings by who when.. check it out.
Real issue is we have determined that Emperor has no clothes no skin! This leads to a " for the people, of the people, by the people " 250 yr old Republic's people has not shown any capability to STOP such killing sprees- perhaps due to " womb-to-tomb" psyched by Deuteronomy as follows: 7:1-2 & 16:16-17verses. KILL KILL KLL

In germany we know that the US is the biggest threat to the world 🤣. The US is far worse than Alqaida, its a fact.

Everyone should read Gangsters of Capitalism
Not surprising that Axios would do this. They used to be a progressive entity; they've become right wing.
If the point is objectively correct (and it absolutely is, regardless of whether Abdul El-Sayed agrees with it), why on earth is it controversial?

This whole thing would be non-controversial if the men involved did not have strange-sounding (read Muslim) sounding names.
