The TRUTH About Hasan Piker....
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- Hasan Piker is one of the most popular people on the internet right now, concurrenting over 50 THOUSAND live viewers over on the streaming platform on Twitch, with over a million subscribers on UA-cam. He is one of the most popular people on the internet, an e-celeb. But he originally was a politics guy. This turned off a lot of people who are mainly political heads, as he went into more pop culture stuff. But is this a good thing?
I've made videos criticizing Hasan Piker quite a bit in the past, but after viewing a few of his recent videos breaking down the Kai Cenat situation, as well as Andrew Tate, I've come to see that his content now (maybe always?) has lots of utility and quality. Here's the thing, we here in the political space are very insular with politics and away from pop culture stuff. I try to make it a goal to cover pop culture stuff because it affects all of us, there's no reason not to cover it, and it all comes back to politics. Here's the thing, he's uniquely different from a Kyle Kulinski, or a Sam Seder. He's an e-celeb, so his influence and audience transcends that of the echo chambers of one political side. Also, in the online space now (unfortunately), what everyone respects is CLOUT. If you have CLOUT, they respect you. Especially other content creators. So using his relations with people like Adin Ross or Bradley Martyn, he is able to influence them in a positive light, to use their influence more intelligently and correctly, as we can see with him talking to Bradley Martyn and Adin Ross about Andrew Tate.
He also puts out a lot of good messaging like about systemic misogyny and feminism etc, which reaches an audience that is mainstream and not echo-chambery and solely related to politics. This makes his influence MASSIVE. MASSIVE power. This makes him an overall really good force.
This also may just be a fallacy of anecdote, because I've only watched those two videos really, but an annoying thing about Hassan was that he would just spend his stream raging at dumb people in his chat. He seems to do less of that now, but again, I'm only basing that off of two of his videos, lol. Ethan Klein also has teamed up with him, doing the reverse, going from e-celeb to political commentator, which is also dope.
Overall, Hasan is a very good political force, that transcends political niche commentators like myself, Kyle Kulinski, or anyone else in the political scene, because he is watched by EVERYONE.

I watch Hasan all the time and can confirm that he still rages at chatters pretty regularly
his 12 year old audience loves it
They usually deserve it & yes it’s entertaining
The way that I approach Hasan’s content is like hanging out with a friend, watching the news. Hasan is laidback and approachable, which goes well with streaming hours at a time. He explains more on Leftovers, but breaks down his explanations in a way where it doesn’t feel like he’s throwing terms around.
On his streams, he’s mostly reacting as things are unfolding. So it’s not the same as making a video after the fact. His most popular streams are when things are happening, and I think the appeal that he has is giving people someone to hang with when major things are happening.
I think Hasan does a good job talking about the “intellectual” stuff. I been in the chat long enough to see him talk about important issues and doing a good job describing it. I think the problem is that those are not the clip moments. It’s easy to just clip Hasan getting angry and acting crazy because that’s funny to many people. And that’s all the norms see and they just assume he’s just some crazy raging leftist dude. Also he streams to damn long, so that 20min conversation of “intellectual” chat gets lost in the 10hrs of streaming he does.
Also yes, it would get pretty boring and it’s pretty good he diversify his content throughout the day.
even your response was so long i nearly didnt read it (jk)... not sure how anyone can sit and listen to someone with such bad posture talk for 10 hours ... i mean he's alright but im all about clips
@@MrAllister9 I'm sure there are a few very dedicated fans that will watch him throughout the entirety, but that's not the majority of people who watch him. He's like the personification of a movie theater. Depending on the movie theater, thousands of people come and go to watch him at different times. There's always a different crowd of people that watch at different times throughout the entirety of his streams.
Hasan is just a talking point NPC. He has very little original thoughts.
@@Mr.KittensAndGibberish I’d say he’s closer to a 24/7 news channel like CNN. Always talking about the current affairs, but slips in some entertainment when there isn’t much to talk about and always ties everything back to his view of the world.
Hasan DOES Break Down Communism & Socialism.
He makes it understandable, To his viewers.
Hazzzzzan
Real ones remember the Sahil-Hasan rivalry in the early days
It seems like so long ago now LOL
Socialism vs. Sahilism
Lmao some good times
Do you remember the dog and Hasan grabbing him by the tail video? I still don't know what to say about that clip.
Yeah I think Sahil was wrecking hasan on not knowing anything about gaming or anime too
Look man... I don't like how much drama you promote... talk about politics not about other youtubers
Cant wait until The Progressive Voice does "The TRUTH about The Progressive Voice"
Should have titled the video “A love letter to Hasan”
And no subtly about it at all
“I’ve been blocked for 3 years, I understand the paranoid” like people check that list for unblocks haha
This whole obsession and jealousy towards Hasan was so weird and juvenile it is why I stopped watching this channel. It is just so cringe. Reminds me of my much younger cousin who always followed everything I did and idolized me but at the same time wanted to make fun of it like a teen that he was. This kid used to make fun of Hasan and now he is jealous that Hasan has gotten so popular. This whole thing is just so very cringe.
That's why I unsubbed as well...
The draw of Hasan is that he doesn't present as an intellectual. Dude presents as a jock/bro. So you see him blow up at someone and people's lizard brain's kick in and are like "Yeah, get that moron!". That's just the hook though. The thing that Sahil has missed with not watching him all that much is that he also knows and educates on a lot of political theory. He just doesn't make a big deal of it a lot of the time.
So as Sahil alludes to, whilst you're hooked with the beat downs, he hits you with progressive ideology in an accessible way that perhaps makes you question your assumptions on things like the exploitation of labor under capitalism, trans people, sex workers, decoding dog whistles, issues to do with sexual assault etc.
Sahil presents as an intellectual and analyses as such while Hasan almost does the opposite by downplaying his intellect and pretending that he's a lot dumber than he actually is. So when you're hit with the progressive agit prop, you may be more receptive to it because you're not reflexively on the defensive.
Hasan's rage issues can sometimes make his content hard to watch but he's definitely a net positive for the progressive movement.
He literally said Ukraine would never be invaded by Russia as Putin lined up troops on the border. After Ukraine was initially invaded Hassan said Kyiv would never be bombed hours before it was bombed.
Nobody should be considered intelligent after making statements like that.
@@Quaquadaqu he was wrong but after he said all of that stuff, he admitted he was wrong. It's not like he can see the future. It's just what he thought was going to happen.
@@Ryan-tn4gk “it’s not like he can see the future”
He was literally going against most political commentators when saying there would be no invasion. Pretty hard to dismiss that as just a mistake.
Plus, he didn’t say he was wrong right away. He had a meltdown for a day (as usual) before barely mentioning that he was wrong.
@@Quaquadaqu @Αρκαδικό αστέρι so just because he had an opinion that was different from the majority that makes him not intelligent? Nobody 100% knew what was happen. So he planted his feet and stated what he thought was going to happen. That's better than just changing your opinion cause most people don't agree with you. And turns out he was wrong. Even if it took him a day, he still admitted it. That's better than most political commentators
@@Ryan-tn4gk How is he better than most political commentators if they were the ones who were right about the invasion? Like come on bro…
I actually strongly disagree. I've heard Hasan go into depth about Marx theory more than any other political commentator I watch
Let's be honest, we ain't gonna get the intellectual stuff from you either, you only talk about internet drama.
Hasan's critique against modern misogyny is great and is the "masculine looking role model" that people like Vaush thinks don't exist for the left
Vaush left Hasan out of his "analysis" about how the left handles male issues just because he doesn't like him.
I don't think so because the role model needs to reach out to the opposition successfully rather than preaching to the choir
bruh for some reason I enjoy Hasan screaming to his chat a lot, I don't know why it makes me laugh, sometimes because Hasan is in the wrong and gets called out, and sometimes because he is in the right
Hasan captures the vibe of an undergrad elective class during senior year. You learn some stuff, you chill, you occasionally say f’k it and just start playing video games. I love it.
Yeah but that isn't what progressives NEED. It isn't about being chill
Hasan is great and good for the left.
Yall dont watch Hasan obvi.
I disagree with this take on his on he actually does go into some of that stuff it's just that he tends to talk about a lot of other b******* to but occasionally he will go into political theory in the things that you are talkin about here.
Didn’t hasan used to have a background on his computer of Sahil in like a mao pic?? 😂
You also once made a compilation of Hasan casually throwing hoops & casually missing a hundred bball shots in a row. That could also be why he has you blocked. 😁
He does talk about that stuff. I think the reason he is that big is because that's not the only topic. He often ties big picture into something he's watching. Often it's this is a example of this. To say he doesn't cover it is wild. He may not go into the literature but he gets the point across.
Agree, a lot of theory is part of his world view...a lot of people are learning it without realizing it
"Bruce Rivers, hes a criminal lawyer, 'who is he?' Bruce Rivers, hes a criminal lawyer"
Love him!
I watch Hasan like 20+ hours a week. Good to hear you've changed your views on him. He's never meant to be a political theorist. He's just a leftists who tries to do good while not taking everything totally seriously
Did you just learn the word "fallacy" and its adjective form the other day or something? It's like you went out of your way to bust out that word 10,000 times in this video
He's an internet celebrity? Really?
Yes
I feel like hes about as famous as you can be online besides like the pewdiepie/logan paul level of fame
Bruh, if you get 50k live viewers, hang out with large content creators like XQC, Pokimane, H3H3 etc. when are you not a celebrity? He’s practically one of the top streamers on twitch.
@@mastertrumpet101 that sounds like a terrible social group. Jeez.
@Daniel Sanchez better than yours which is your hand and Jurgens
I was thinking about Hasan's need to try to sway people into being better people. Specifically Adin Ross. Reminds me of when he was trying to pull Destiny to be less 'Destiny' like which failed miserably lol. It's kind of a pattern with Hasan and terrible people. I feel like Adin is the same type deal. Tbf, Adin does have more emotional intelligence than Destin.
To help someone you have to actually have a kind approach. The others probably just felt they were going to be used for Hasan's clout and refused. Maybe he has a savior complex and it's what broke down communication.
Hasan is the best...
Hasan is a good influence and I think he wants to genuinely bring people back from the depths of the other side. Which he does well at. As a lot of his chat used to be right or right of center. That's kind of his thing. Is relating to people who he may not always agree with. Becauae he believes they can turn around while he still stands his ground politically. Which is a good thing in my opinion.
I also believe he is much more intellectual than you may realize even if he self depricates a lot. He could talk about the things you mentioned very easily but he makes strides in areas you wouldn't. So he goes with the flow where he works best.
I remember when this kid tried to debate Destiny lol
Did he?
He literally put u as a desktop background....sahil u effed up that relationship with your tolling
I think Hasan yells and rages for content because he is still a streamer but I think his actual good political views get overshadowed by him raging. Even sometimes him raging at people can make the video he’s reacting to bad. But I still thinks he is trying his best to help the other side see our views and is opening up new paths for the left. I personally watch him to keep up with the news because it just feels like I’m hanging out but I don’t always agree with him just like anybody isn’t going to agree with everyone. Just my thoughts cuz some might want to hear 😅
The animation of crimea was justified
I like Hassan. I watch him everyday. He does have a lot of friends and he always seems to be a good influence on the non political streamers.
I really have a hard time liking Hasan. I find myself catching clips of his stream and looking up the source of what he's reacting to so I can get thru the story without his annoying voice over it.
Hassan is great. I honestly feel like he’s been consistent with his views regardless of how much attention he gets.
His Ukraine takes are horrendous.
The left has a lot to thank him for.
He brought socialism and politics to places where you usually wouldn't see it. His dude bro personality, good sense of humor and the way he promotes redemption rather than cancelation makes him relatable and approachable.
The fact that he's seen as an attractive man makes him interesting to a lot of people.
I've known about him for years, because of TYT obviously, but it was when I saw Leftovers that I realized he's actually really smart and thoughtful.
He keeps getting better as he evolves.
I'm not very interested in reaction videos of Tik Toks, but I realize that what he's doing is a winning concept.
"A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down. "
Never used to watch hasan only reason is you always trolled him. I figured he was shit. I finally started watching which was hatewatching. I then turned into a fan. He still yells at chatters but at the end usually adds some context. He has admitted he argues to much with his stream and is trying to at least make his point. If you watch early appearances of Hasan on H3 you'll see Ethan adopt alot of Hasan's views. So you can see Hasan's influence on Ethan's views.
Dropped a petition on his stream to unblock you. Fingers crossed.
NICE.....
Glad to have Hasan on the team
Don't take being blocked personally, he blocks everyone for the prettiest reasons! Do a ban appeal, explain and he will likely un-ban you.
He also doesn't mind content leeches, like he allows and supports upwards of 50 Hasan clip channels on UA-cam, doesn't care about it at all. Your genre is niche, but he wouldn't look down on it, IMO.
i got banned for saying bad take on twitch when Russia/Ukraine was starting and the bitch mods banned me. I appealed and nothing lol.
Bro he prolly doesn’t know you exist tbh and has soooo many people blocked lol
But love your channel need to get off that Kyle wave tho
Naw Kyle is chill
He definitely knows Sahil. Sahil was around when Has initially switched from Facebook lives(lmao) to Twitch. Probably some VODs somewhere where they debate each other.
Remember when PV posted Hasan's basketball highlights?
I think he still has you blocked because you did annoyed the shit out of him lol. I mean I thought it was funny, and the whole PV and Hasan saga we had years ago. My gut feelings is telling me he will unblock you but getting the message to him in the first place is going to be kind of hard. He is kind of too big to get a reach at this point. Maybe talking to Anthony Fantano and convincing him to convince Hasan to unblock you is the only path? If you guys still talk to each other.
I hope I'm never to big for a fellow fighter
Lol the desperation of it all
Lookin good bro. Keep up that intellectual side. Your putting out good knowledge that also entertains. Quality. Ps splash some water on that frizzy hair yo!
Facts!
i was surprised to see Bradley Martin convince the Nelk boy leader, that Hasan and Ethan were decent people and would probably be collaborating in the future. Clout is the real currency right now.
It always has been.
Ethan actually said “I’m losing out on a manosphere fanbase because I go too hard on the red pill people…I have to switch up for 2023.”
Idk man you can absolutely get all of those topics you mentioned in the beginning out of Hasan’s streams on the regular…it’s often couched in other things to make it more palatable though, or less depending on your tastes I guess.
I may not agree with hasan on everything but he is a great team member. I go to Sahil for information and I go to Hasan for strictly entertainment. Don't get me wrong though Sahil is entertaining too lol
Which is actually a disservice. He may be entertaining but it isn't constructive.
True. Tough to take Hassan seriously. Sometimes we only need entertainment.
With the recent topic of positive role models I don’t really see how anyone can look at Hasan and say he’s not at least opening the door to positive feedback.
I’m a fan so you can say I’m biased or whatever but he’s the largest leftist political streamer and the most viewed person on twitch so his content has massive reach. Never thought that leftist politics would be so popular
Hasan was on The Young Turks and often debates right-wingers. He’s very likable, smart, funny-very quick wit, and attractive. He covers so many topics from politics to true crime. I really like him. But I don’t rely on him for politics. There are MANY others like TYT, Sam Sedar -The Majority Report, Meidas Touch, Mary Trump, The Humanist Report, etc., there’s so many and I go to them for more in- depth political and legal discussion (Meidas Touch). I only watch Hasan on UA-cam and know I’m only getting clips… yeah lately I’ve been flooded with Hasan in my recommended, it’s nutz!
I can't be the only one who giggles while hearing "Hasan" and "penetrates deeply".
Og's remember the sahil mao pc background hasan had
😂You’re blocked by all the greats on Twitter ha jk Iove your content been here since you did live coverage of the BLM protest back in 2020.
I remember watching his stream and seeing your picture on his computer wallpaper back in the day.
I watch a lot of left-wing media and do like some of it, but let's be honest, it's fucking boring, it's interesting to me cause I am interested in the issues but ultimately it's not interesting, Hasan shouting at people, looking like a Turkish superman when he was young and now Jesus mixed with Dr. Disrespect with a casual approach to this shit, it's everything I have been waiting for. I had to watch joe rogan fuck up a whole generation with no counter from the left & I wasn't even mad cause I knew joe rogan had something, he knew how to be relatable to the regular person. I've been waiting for someone like Hasan for almost a decade man, I'm glad he's popping 💪🏽
Focus on going after the right. Not allies on the left
Hasan is not on the left. You've fallen for the leftist aesthetic, but piker is indeed a capitalist.
Hasan is the jimmy dore of the left.
@@DeepGreen_EcoMGTOW 🤡
@@dreamoftheendless4917 🤡
@@t__a__z piker is a clown.
I wish I had objective evidence but a lot of people I talk to seemed to have awakened from their apolitical sleep by watching Hasan and while I am not one of them I can relate. I ended my apolitical nap when I started watching Kristina Maione who I wouldn't call a political commentator(despite her being a political philosopher) more like a social or cultural commentator but I needed that content to act like intermediary step as I went form apolitical to political
I just remember how you used to make comments about all the money he was making. So one day someone in his chat mentioned it, and was like, "I'm not rich guys." Some months later, an article comes out about how he bought a 4 million dollar house or something. 😅
Here in NZ a tiny house in Auckland is a million dollars. Is 4million that much for LA? genuine question
@@Cambamnz4real
My grandparents bought a house in LA for $21k in 1940’s. It’s now valued at $1.2mil.
Yes, $4 million, especially at 31, is a lot.
@@SaraphDarklawIt’s a lot but tbf 1. 1940-2023 the value of 2100 has increased with multiple thousands of procent + real estate in general has increased in price. He also didnt pay out of pocket, he had a lone on it (ofcourse). Still saying that 4 mil isnt a lot would be crazy but idk I think its not that big of a deal, he has a lot of money, its not a secret🤷♂️
Popular Culture v. Mass Culture
I always believed this; and it annoys the F out of me how he gets gatekeep'd by some people.
A football team has different positions fulfilling different functions.
Most people don't know that Hasan was a very successful model who made a really good living doing that before he started working at TYT but the clothing industry is one of the most wasteful industries on the planet and that went against who he was as a person. Or maybe people do know, I don't watch him for hours at a time I don't have time to do that. But I will watch short 15 minute clips of him, I find he's very intelligent and well informed but when he has problems it's because he's commenting the minute it comes out. I really like the guy, I don't agree with the guy on everything but I don't think that's a bad thing. He's a legit voice for us on the left and I'm thankful he's got a huge following we've got a fight going on, on the internet with getting the younger generations to listen to the left over all the crap that's getting thrown at the younger generations from the right. The right has heavily financed operatives Shapiro, Crowder, Ruben and even Joe Roegan are all making great money spewing out hateful garbage and we need more people like Hasan who can reach the masses.
Never watched a single hasan stream ever, although I did listen to a bit when he spoke with Mike Prysner.
IMO, this era of “influencers” is kinda dangerous. Too many people online not thinking for themselves. There’s a thin line between enjoying ones content and becoming influenced by them. Can you see another’s point of view and reevaluate your own, sure. But should one allow a content creator influence our decisions or ideology? I’d say not.

PEOPLE ARE DUMB!!
Yes but that doesn't make the truth of Marxist industrialisation incorrect.
Russia did industrialize and that helped them win against Germany which weakened it's own population (with the camps) fought a massive war on 2-3 fronts and followed a charismatic clown instead of a pragmatic leader.
Anyway everything looks like a nail sometimes sorry. I come from a military background but I say a strong prosperous nation is a key to military power even with peace through the lucrative offers of trade with prosperity instead of a doomed war.
I honestly don't know Marxism as well as I could but I know Marx and Engels knew simple and correct economic and social changes that could bring Germany to prosperity. The Krupp's did something like this although it was separate from marx's advice.
Anyway people can usually understand the gist of things even if they can't understand the specifics.
I'm short on a lot of specifics but I like to discuss in good faith.
I feel like Hassan pushes the needle in a much needed direction for social discourse despite his lack of pragmatism and specific knowledge.
Agree, Hasan serves his purpose. I don't care to watch him but if he drives young people to the left/to be more politically engaged and actually vote that's a win.
He still annoys the heck out of me though. Nobody needs to drive a Porsche.
4:00 😂
Both Chomsky and the Hasan twitch chat says Leninism is dumb yet Hasan himself keeps coining it. I mean he does talk about it quite often, but I get the impression Leninism is dumb and not the chat.
I would watch you so much more if whatever came out of you at 4:01 came out more often.
Cuz I'm fucking dumb , the anger is helpful for my attention span
That part at 2:40…pure gibberish.
Maybe if he actually saw this video he will unblock you, who knows. 🤷
You blocked me because you said I invaded your safe space.
Ya I watch Hasan almost daily. Crazy he blocked you
AZAN
I wanted to get into Hasan as soon as he left TYT. ... but I just can’t do Twitch. And I actually don’t understand all the rings and things. So I’ve only seen Hasan when he spears elsewhere, like his interview with Aaron Bastani on Novara. Actually that’s the only one I’ve watched. I’m an old fogey - and perpetually fearful that one day people won’t see this last comment as ironic at all.
That's why I usually just watch the clips. It's usually a lot more focused
@@Ryan-tn4gk I couldn't find them, last time I tried looking.
Congrats on the new look !!!!! Hard work
You know that he's still not gonna unban you, right?
Yes
Well, Hasan was always childish and he bans a lot from what I hear. He might have a superiority complex by this point. Sad
That's sad that the guy bans anyone that criticizes him. That's a huge red flag and a sign of insecurity and weakness.
Hasan had you as his wallpaper back in the day
Hasan covers a lot of drama shite, which is fine. My only complaint is the lack of depth- no theory based explanation. I agree 💯 politics is downstream from culture (only correct thing Andrew Breitbart ever said)
Hassan explains a shitload of theory way better than most. You obviously don’t watch his clips or streams.
@@EpioN most meaning whom?
I like his UA-cam clips.
Still, he doesn't seem relatable, approachable, or even a nice guy, and I get the feeling he has a secret revulsion for gays. But I appreciate his take on the _subject du jure._ And I admit, I'm impressed by his ability to express complicated, _ethical_ ideas ...coherently, at the drop of a hat. (lack-of-ethics knocks Ben Shapiro out of this category)
This ain’t the content man…
This is such a subjective rant lol
That's cool if Hasan is bringing a greater good in his own way. I stopped following him after the editor scandal
Which was fake
He is your cousin isn't he?
@Kenji Azurai And your parents are siblings
I herd a Rumer Hasan drinks apple juce
its all gay
I remember making the decision of not coming back to this channel ever again, but here I am, getting clickbaited into paying attention to nothing useful said by The Progressive Voice.
Hug
Great breakdown
ayyyy whas pappin with homie Hasan tho
9:04
He's embarrassing!! We do not claim him...
Either a shill or a simpleton tankie
He's a bit of a react bro tbh.
Word
Champagne socialist
Hasan is a joke, is this video for real?
Bruh ur rly going to equate dave rueben to sam seder and kyle kulinsky? Lol 😂 ridiculous 😂😂
Why am I even watching this?
I've already seen the pundit formula, and I don't care whether it's right or wrong, it's very existence is cursed. I only except this to be mildly better, so what the hell am I doing?
I guess I'm curious where this is going, but I already regret it at the same time
Oh God I thought he was getting cancelled too 😮💨
BTC took over his shtick.
love ur channel love u budss
Hassan is unbearable to watch. I could watch Vaush hours before I would even consider watching Hassan.
I feel the same way but in reverse
