Do run of the mill progressives simp for Cuba and China, platform Houti terrorists, and praise Hamas at every opportunity? Hasan is a tankie extremist, that hides his powerlevels badly. His sexist attitudes I won’t even mention. His behavior towards other streams is pretty vile as well.
He partied hard and used lots of electricity for his amusement
The free concert that was put on for Cubans and also included Cuban musicians? Yeah, what a travesty that he and other entertainers provided some joy for people ravaged by Trump’s foreign policy.
while Cuba is lacking oil.
Your passive framing here icing on the cake. Cuba is “lacking oil” because of the USA’s blockade. Cuba is suffering because of decades of economic warfare waged by the USA. If you actually cared about the Cuban people, you would support Hasan raising awareness about it. But you’re so caught up in streamer/podcaster drama that you’ve lost the plot.
Of course a campist isn’t able to understand that. People I don’t like or disagree with do good things sometimes.
The blockade of Cuba is bad for Cuba and the USA. Most other countries trade freely with Cuba.
Cuba poses zero threat to the US. The times when Cuba tried to export the revolution are over. Venezuela was their last attempt and it had pretty bad outcomes. The blockade has proven ineffective in fostering regime change in Cuba as well.
Commerce between the USA and Cuba is the best chance to improve the lives of Cubans. I think the blockade is one of the main ideological reasons the communists have that keep them in power.
The only reason the USA still has the blockade is the exile Cubans in the swing state Florida.
The FAQ in my link says what the organization expects participants to bring. Here in Hasan’s video you can see him talk about the supplies that they are bringing with (1:23 in the video).
If he had dedicated any more time to the aid he brought, people would be calling him a self-important narcissist. Instead, he dedicated most of the video to giving Cubans a voice that they otherwise wouldn’t have.
I guarantee this aid convoy brought much more aid than Hasan showed in his video. He said that they were the last leg of it.
Hasan is not a perfect guy. There are valid criticisms of him. But he is actually doing a good thing here. I don’t understand why you are reflexively downplaying it and shifting the goal posts.
If you haven’t noticed, young people are very impressed with how life in China seems to be getting better and better while our own lives get worse and worse. Chinamaxxing etc
Yes, Chinese propaganda has lots of success recently. China is a rising power and the USA are in crisis.
China has industrialized extremely well and is now even competitive in research and cutting edge technology. Millions of Chinese living in the rich coastal cities have gained an almost western standard of living. The situation is very different in rural areas. There are also lots of issues with worker’s rights, safe working conditions, environment, etc.
What Hasan Piker likes about China are superficial things like the communist aesthetics, high speed rail, executions of corrupt billionaires, and anti western sentiment.
I’m pretty sure Hasan Piker also likes how Chinese life expectancy has surpassed the US, how Chinese literacy rates have surpassed the US, how Chinese homelessness is lower than the US, etc etc. Those are hardly superficial things.
Like I said, life in China is getting better and better (even in rural areas, though it’s slower) and life in the US is getting worse.
The same is true for most other developed countries. You could talk about health care in Sweden, education in Finland, homelessness in Switzerland, life expectancy in Japan, and high speed rail in France. All of them are liberal democracies.
Communist aesthetics are the main reason for Hasan. He’s is all about aesthetics in everything he does.
Developed countries staying developed isn’t really remarkable.
Developing countries becoming developed is actually remarkable, because countries usually end up stuck in underdevelopment as they’re ruthlessly exploited by the global economy. China is finally escaping a trap that has ensnared the rest of the Global South.
Compare that to a developed country like the US seemingly falling into underdevelopment. The contrast is remarkable, too.
China became developed by embracing market capitalism. China had decades of braindead economic policies with gigantic failures resulting in millions of deaths.
Lots of other countries have done this as well all over Asia and elsewhere.
Countries stuck in development hell usually suffer from weak Institutions, mismanagement, corruption, lack of diversification, ideological insanity, and such.
It didn’t embrace it, it used it. The commanding heights of the economy are still controlled by the Communist Party and the economy is still centrally planned. That’s why, during the pandemic, they could tell the market to shut down and implement the government’s Zero COVID restrictions. Politics are in command. The only market economies that could show similar results from the pandemic were islands that didn’t need to actually shut the economy down because they could simply restrict travel.
Lonerbox critices the IDF and Israeli government regularly. He supports Palestinian self determination and a two state solution. Actual Palestinians and other people from the region are on his stream regularly.
If Lonerbox is your evil Zionist enemy, you will forever fail to build a coalition that’s able to make an actual impact for Palestinians.
Given that the two biggest national sponsors of terrorism in the world are Israel and America, any comparison with Cuba, China, the Houthis, and Hamas might come out sounding like praise. Right now the fate of the middle east and the world at large depends on Iran defeating Israel and the US. The worst possible future would be for Israel to get to continue attacking it’s neighbors forever to build “greater Israel” as they dream. Does that make Iran the “good guys”? Not even close.
Congratulations, you just absolved the USA and Canada of the crime that were the indigenous boarding schools. Cultural genocide is still genocide, fascist
Those boarding schools have graveyards. They weren’t just taking our language and cutting our hair, they killed us too.
China simply isn’t doing that. Calling something “genocide” without mass death rings hollow. Every genocide in history has always been accompanied with mass death, that’s how we should identify something as genocide.
China is systematically disassembling their culture so it no longer exists, that’s the goal of the camps in China. You shame those we lost by defending the same evil.
You shame every victim of every genocide in history when you compare education with death. In every other genocide there was always mass death. So, where’s the mass graves? Oh there aren’t any.
The majority of muslim nations on earth sent delegates to China specifically to investigate these accusations in person and they disagree with you. 16 countries who all have an obvious interest in the treatment of their fellow muslims, as opposed to the source of the accusations, the US and our lackeys who have spent the past 50+ years indiscriminately bombing & imprisoning muslims around the world and surveilling& harassing them domestically, an equally obvious conflict of interest. How do you explain that?
Yes they have. Who hasn’t? America is still continuously invading Indian lands and destroying the ecosystems they depend on. You might have noticed America also has a bit of a white nationalist problem, and is currently in the midst of a purge.
Who’s dismissing it? The whole point here is about comparing nations. China is committing genocide, the US is committing genocide, Israel is committing genocide, and the list goes on. I don’t “dismiss” it, but if one is valid than so are the others.
How is Hasan remotely extremist? In any other country, he is a run of the mill progressive.
Do run of the mill progressives simp for Cuba and China, platform Houti terrorists, and praise Hamas at every opportunity? Hasan is a tankie extremist, that hides his powerlevels badly. His sexist attitudes I won’t even mention. His behavior towards other streams is pretty vile as well.
Start watching here to get an idea

Or just watch his own streams and his followers in chat.
My dude has the most stereotypical imperialist liberal opinions, no wonder he doesn’t like Hassan.
You mean bring media attention to an awful situation, and participate in aid efforts? Fuck off dude, what the fuck has Cuba ever done to you?
What aid did he bring?
He partied hard and used lots of electricity for his amusement while Cuba is lacking oil.
He was part of this convoy. Read the FAQ.
The free concert that was put on for Cubans and also included Cuban musicians? Yeah, what a travesty that he and other entertainers provided some joy for people ravaged by Trump’s foreign policy.

The blockade is bad and it‘s great they brought some goods to Cuba. Your link doesn’t show what they actually brought though.
I actually don’t believe that you believe this.
Of course a campist isn’t able to understand that. People I don’t like or disagree with do good things sometimes.

Funny that I have you tagged as “Hasbara” and I remember exactly why.
This user is a mouthpiece for Israeli propaganda (whether purposely or not). Check out their post history for yourself.
The FAQ in my link says what the organization expects participants to bring. Here in Hasan’s video you can see him talk about the supplies that they are bringing with (1:23 in the video).
Thank you for the link. It looks like around 20 cardboard boxes of aid are shown for a few seconds in the video.
Better than nothing I guess.
If he had dedicated any more time to the aid he brought, people would be calling him a self-important narcissist. Instead, he dedicated most of the video to giving Cubans a voice that they otherwise wouldn’t have.
I guarantee this aid convoy brought much more aid than Hasan showed in his video. He said that they were the last leg of it.
Hasan is not a perfect guy. There are valid criticisms of him. But he is actually doing a good thing here. I don’t understand why you are reflexively downplaying it and shifting the goal posts.
Where is your evidence of this?
Hasan talked about spending lavishly and partying on his own stream.
The blackouts in Cuba are news to you?
https://en.cibercuba.com/noticias/2025-03-15-u1-e208933-s27061-nid298933-apagon-general-cuba-deja-oscuras-poblacion-hoteles
https://www.gbnews.com/news/world/cuba-blackout-activists-cuba-aid-mission-electricity-five-star-hotel-blackouts-hassan-pike
The US government DOES NOT allow US citizens to stay elsewhere you fool. THEY HAD to stay at that hotel.
https://www.state.gov/cuba-sanctions/cuba-prohibited-accommodations-list
What are you accusing Hasan here of? There is zero substance to your attacks other than vague or misleading shit.
Try harder.
The blackouts are caused by the siege war being waged by the US, not a free concert that Cuba’s government put on.

The best comparison to China is Taiwan.
It didn’t embrace it, it used it. The commanding heights of the economy are still controlled by the Communist Party and the economy is still centrally planned.

Oh god he links Zionerbox
Lonerbox critices the IDF and Israeli government regularly. He supports Palestinian self determination and a two state solution. Actual Palestinians and other people from the region are on his stream regularly.
If Lonerbox is your evil Zionist enemy, you will forever fail to build a coalition that’s able to make an actual impact for Palestinians.
My guy, linking H3 as a proof of anything is losing you any credibility on the matter.
And that Mike guy video is basically a “nuh-huh” of 4h about Hasan.
Edit: and the comment section of both videos are a cesspool.
Seriously, you can’t bemoan leftist infighting and then link to Ethan Klein lmao
Precisely
Yes and yes and yes, failure to do those things is a clear indication that you’re just another worthless fucking liberal
Given that the two biggest national sponsors of terrorism in the world are Israel and America, any comparison with Cuba, China, the Houthis, and Hamas might come out sounding like praise. Right now the fate of the middle east and the world at large depends on Iran defeating Israel and the US. The worst possible future would be for Israel to get to continue attacking it’s neighbors forever to build “greater Israel” as they dream. Does that make Iran the “good guys”? Not even close.
China has been committing cultural genocide for the last 76 years, we should not be praising them at all
You can condemn them for that while also saying they’re doing some shit correct. It isn’t all or nothing.
Nah genocide is genocide. Stop going to bat for fascist activity
This smear campaign rings hollow after the past few years of Israel’s genocidal actions. We know what genocide looks like.
Congratulations, you just absolved the USA and Canada of the crime that were the indigenous boarding schools. Cultural genocide is still genocide, fascist
Those boarding schools have graveyards. They weren’t just taking our language and cutting our hair, they killed us too.
China simply isn’t doing that. Calling something “genocide” without mass death rings hollow. Every genocide in history has always been accompanied with mass death, that’s how we should identify something as genocide.

Anything’s possible when you make shit up kiddo
So the indigenous boarding schools weren’t genocide? I have some relatives that would dosagree
They’re not even close to the same thing, and people who know better than you agree
Wow the nation with cities that run on slave labor are siding with genocidal oppressors, so convincing
The majority of muslim nations on earth sent delegates to China specifically to investigate these accusations in person and they disagree with you. 16 countries who all have an obvious interest in the treatment of their fellow muslims, as opposed to the source of the accusations, the US and our lackeys who have spent the past 50+ years indiscriminately bombing & imprisoning muslims around the world and surveilling& harassing them domestically, an equally obvious conflict of interest.

Dismissing genocide is a bad look, very fashy
Dismissing the findings of official delegates from the majority of muslim nations on earth is a bad look
Who’s dismissing it? The whole point here is about comparing nations. China is committing genocide, the US is committing genocide, Israel is committing genocide, and the list goes on. I don’t “dismiss” it, but if one is valid than so are the others.
Please watch the interview I linked first, this comment is nonsense.
