"Revenge for MeToo (which constrained their ability to rape employees), Revenge for Black Lives Matter (which called out how racist many of them were) and Revenge for the 2021 Labor Market where they suddenly had to compete for scarce labor instead of the other way around" bsky.app/profile/mtsw...

Since nothing that progressivism is aiming for would put much of a dent in their lives, I have to think it’s a reflexive fear of offending the right wingers in their social circles. A fear of being mocked in the Hamptons.

also just foundationally there's so much more interesting and pressing stuff for editors and columnists to think and write about

I think "many Democrats" would like the "border problem" and "immigrants" to miraculously disappear as long as they weren't the ones hiring the thugs, would like trans people to shut up, and would like cops to keep "protecting" them from the scary people whose lives really don't matter after all.

Also, if they really have sold their souls for watery eggs out of chafing dishes--because I don't actually know--I'm speechless.

Like, if they’re going to fold to a little needling on a Twitch streamer, what are they going to do about a bunch of armed goons with the full authority to kill at random? What are they going to do about a bunch of billionaires who own the media? They’re going to fold like a cheap lawn chair.

"The Muslim Question", our oligarchs might say

Brunch catching strays here smh

Shouldn't be lost on anyone that they're framing a discussion around a guy who's anti-genocide as "The ______ Question"

He's not for everyone but he's not evil by any means

That's correct, you do think that.

I can't get into Twitch very much either. I'm a YouTube man, through and through.

I know more about him from discourse about him than actually anything he has to say. I sort of see his name, note people are talking about him (again), and move on. I have a similar relationship with Mr. Beast.

he’s has a lot of followers but averages only 25k watching live bc he’s kind of boring. Reminds me of alex jones, endless rambling but a lot of 1 min clips that go viral. And he’s def getting a surge with all the new attention, lol - streamscharts.com/channels/has...

He seems to have his use though bsky.app/profile/theb...

it’s so pathetic and transparent

They're called "capitalists".

LOL, yes, ignorance really can be bliss. I've muted his name now. It is sad his nonsense is being given so much attention, which is exactly what he and his kind want. Sigh. Happy Friday!

This sums me up as well. Don't know him, don't particularly care to. To me, the whole dog & pony show they're trying to engineer is a nothingburger.

Edit functions on internet forums are a very bad idea. Look at facebook or reddit. Cesspits no one will ever care about.

"The ____ Question" is one fucking hell of a format for anyone who isn't a Nazi to use.

Well yeah, the white supremacists and fascists have far more in common with them than anyone who believes what Hasan Piker does

the irony is there's a good chance they'll boost his audience

No they wouldn't

and this is why I am so skeptical of anything getting meaningfully better when Dems sleepwalk into the WH in 2029. Most of the establishment seems to be happy with right now becoming the new status quo, just with them in the better office

Imagine being a party apparatus which polls below cancer thinking making 10s of 1000s normies aware of Piker is helping their cause.

“Many democrats, especially the losers that couldn’t/can’t beat Trump”
