A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I call on every decent country in the world to prevent israelis (or anyone who has visited Israel) from entering your country.
Hassan Piker is only far left if you're far right.
Isn't this the guy who praises China and the CCP?
It's CPC, and China does a lot right. But people would rather keep CIA narratives than actually learn. Finally, because someone can acknowledge what another nation has done and is doing doesn't make them "far left." Western people have been prodded so far right, so slowly that the collective memory of what US "right" and "left" is*, the common purview is anything left of Reagan is "far left."
Added a word.

he comes from the burgeoise
So you ignore Marx and Engels because of their bourgeois origins?
We are all in an evil society and we're all tainted by it. Nobody's pure. And you can take my word for it because of my own working-class origin.
He's very open about his financial security though, it's not like he cosplays as working class. How much money does he actually make? Does he push much merch and shit? I usually only see him in clips.
I can only wish for a less internet-poisoned figurehead of anti-genocide activism, but it's still amazing to me how a man who spends all his waking hours in front of a webcam is enough of a big deal to be considered a national security threat. This is a man who has spent years in a self-imposed hell of nonstop news clips and hate chatter clapbacks, constantly under attack and arguing with people who hate him, and now the anger is actually coming from a place of power. Hasan is like a guy made in a vat to get in a loud, public fight with the ADL.
Funny how for all the quotes they pulled, the article couldn't dig out any instances of the more common traps leftist criticism of Israel falls into, like slipping into ZOG/"Khazar elite" talking points or rants about how murder is "their" culture. It's honestly just laughable at this point seeing organizations like the ADL try to argue that anyone pointing out the obvious fact that Hamas aren't baby-eating Islamist rape demons is engaging in religious hatred while geo-targeted online ads from Christian Zionist organizations blast me with "Jesus the messiah will save you" daily. This whole "debate" is a joke, but Hasan is an experienced clown, so he's in his element.
