We need way more of this. Republicans are constantly lying and slandering people without consequences.
Hasan has his eye on Ted Cruz next:
Never knew who this guy was until the right wing women all wanted to fuck him and it exploded on the internet.
wait… MAGA women actually want to fuck someone other than their biological fathers? wow
Remember: Every single person you see attacking Hasan by spreading hoaxes that have been debunked already, like the dog-zapping one or him being a “rich socialist. All socialists and communists must have 0 dollars in their name” are all 100% MAGAs. People who benefit, support and love the Jeffrey Epstein Class.
Every single one of them.
At this point, if you are still someone who disagrees, attacks, loathes or dislikes Hasan, you are a genuine piece of garbage who is only getting millions of innocent people killed in silence. For example, us Mexicans, we are losing 30,000+ people every year thanks to the Iron River Americans (especially Republicans) keep funding with their taxes. Same shit pours down to South America, same shit is done to the Middle East and Africa. There are a lot of dems who are American Exceptionalists and want this violence and control over third-world countries to continue, so they attack Hasan too. They are traitors and murders.
Hasan is the only American influencer that has brought attention to the Iron River the same way he does for Gaza 8 hours every day. These people hate that, because they all love killing innocent people. Every single American Exceptionalist does at this point.
That’s what Hasan haters are. Absolutely every single one of them, do not waste more time talking to them, they are worthless monsters.
Nah, I don’t like MAGA at all, I’m Canadian.
But I do recognize Hasan is just running a MAGA style grift.
I also recognize you’re unable to accept any criticism of a wealthy grifter the same way that MAGAs defend Trump, another wealthy grifter.
You’re upset about the declining quality of life. You should be. THinking some rich guy that’s just saying controversial things on social media is going to make your life better? Feeling like it’s important to vehemently defend a wealthy social media grifter? Yeah that’s what MAGA is really about.
You’re just being angry about people not liking orange kool-aid and saying they must like the strawberry kool-aid. Y’all are drinking the kool-aid down there. Which flavour you prefer doesn’t make you any better than the other people drinking the social media kool-aid.
What is the grift? Teaching class consciousness for free? Are you an idiot?
He’s also rich out of donations for doing that for 8hrs everyday. Motherfucker, you’d never take someone with 0$ dollars in their name seriously anyway. And comparing a billionaire pedophile like Trump to Hasan is so fucking stupid I don’t even know where to begin.
Spreading class consciousness is what is helping candidates like Zohran and Abdul win, you imbecile. What Hasan is doing is working. You just want people to give up so they do not learn new shit anymore and stay ignorant, because for you, it’s easier to exploit dumbass people.
Hasan is one of the only influencers online that bring attention to Gaza and also the Iron River, in my country, Mexico, which is getting 30,000+ innocent people killed by the 200,000+ firearms the USA and you, Canada, pour into our country. You just don’t want Hasan to spread that awareness, because you probably have stocks in those companies that make the bullets and bombs, and you’d lose money.
You are the MAGA, the fucking cultist dumb piece of shit who benefits the Jeffrey Class. You don’t even have valid criticisms about Hasan. Which are they? That he made a lot of money? The 9/11 comment? What is it? You got nothing. You are an idiot.
Teaching class consciousness for free?
Dude. He’s a streamer making millions of his fans. He isn’t doing this for free.
I much rather get my class consciousness from someone less obnoxious and less psychopathic. (And someone who doesn’t shock his own dog)
Edit: Future reader, don’t bother. It’s bot all the way down. And I get pretty spicy with my comments.
The 4 day old account is calling other users bots?
Mhm.
Tell me, who are you getting your class consciousness from that is less obnoxious and less psychopathic? You must have recommendations for who to watch instead, right?
Socialism is when poor?
Hi fuck Hasan piker
Say what you will about the guy, but there’s no better way to get the right-wing trolls to come out of the woodwork than to say his name.
Jennings later accused Piker of “calling for Black voters to be lynched” and referred to what he called “the Piker plan of returning our country to lynchings.”
The original footage came from an October 2024 Twitch broadcast in which Piker was reacting to a debate between two Black political commentators — one liberal and one conservative. After the conservative participant criticized “woke DAs,” Piker sarcastically suggested the commentator wanted to return to an era of racial discrimination and lynchings, according to the complaint.
“He said, ‘We need more Klansmen, OK? Can we go back to a better time when lynchings were happening?’” Piker said during the stream in reaction to the commentator’s argument.
Piker’s attorneys argue that the edited video removed the words “He said,” along with his laughter and surrounding commentary, to intentionally make it appear as though Piker was expressing his own beliefs rather than mocking someone else’s.
The dispute emerged amid the Michigan Senate race, where the edited video was circulated to criticize progressive Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed over his association with Piker.
Seems like Scott Jennings is going to get nailed to the wall for that, it’s pretty indefensible.
Or, I should say, CNN will. Or, I should say, Skydance will. Or, I should say, David Ellison will. Or, I should say, Larry Ellison('s pocketbook) will.
maybe this will help with Pikers antisemitism payments
good luck mr misogynist
That doesn’t actually sound a ton different than literally any attack ad airing for any candidate at the moment.
If hope both parties lose this one, with a long trial for a one dollar verdict.
You’re not just stupid, you’re ugly
If hope both parties lose this one
You genuinely have no idea how courts work
I literally explained the scenario where that is possible.
it’s fun when two shit bags get in court with eachother
Excuse my ignorance, but who is Hasan piker?
He’s not a particularly well-known figure outside of streaming platforms, but I’ll quote a previous post I wrote to give an attempt at a rounded impression of him. It’s from another thread so there’s some parts of it that might look a bit less relevant to this one, but here it is:
"I think everyone who knows some about him will have an opinion on him - I’d call him divisive. I’ll try to give a relatively neutral rundown - I’m not a historian or researcher on this subject so my knowledge is likely to have holes.
I don’t have time to treat this like a dissertation or adding citations, but I’ll try to present things as neutrally as I can and then you (or anyone else reading) can decide to further research any of the points as you see fit. I am not the final authority on this, just someone who’s dug a little more into this than the average person, and who has no strong feelings for or against the person in question.
He is a political twitch streamer. He ties himself to, and uses the language of, the far left and related candidates. He backs and campaigns for progressive candidates which often raises awareness and donation for them, but the effect seems to be limited - some candidates he backs does well and others do not. He also seems to make plenty of statements that directly contradicts the candidates he backs and campaign for, causing some of them to try to distance themselves from him.
He appears to be well-versed in U.S. electoral politics, media framing, and progressive political arguments, which tracks with his bachelor’s degree in political science and communication studies from Rutgers from 2013. Being a streamer he ends up talking about a lot of related subjects, in which he often has to give off-the-cuff opinions and takes, which can often fall well-short of informed or accurate.
He says his end goal is communism. He got his start as a content creator in his uncle’s online news channel (The Young Turks), before later splitting off from them and doing his own streaming business. He is from a very affluent family, personally earns a lot of money and he clearly lives an affluent lifestyle. He claims to thrift for designer clothes but when pressed appears to reference outlet stores and similar. Initially he claimed that he doesn’t want his regular thrift stores to get raided by fans, although his fans might be less affluent than him and therefore better served by access to these stores. He has done several very successful charity streams that amassed large amounts of money for good causes. He claims to donate great amounts of money to charities, although the amount of donated money that can be tied to him is very low for his level of wealth, somewhere between 77.000 - 80.000 USD total (0,5-1%) of his estimated wealth, which is 8-14 million USD. While he does not appear to put his money where his mouth is, he does spend some of his time on popular fundraising, which drives a lot of attention to both him and the causes he fund-raise for.
He is often abrasive in his communication, although he will excuse that with passion for the subjects he talk about. He has a large audience that aggressively attacks dissenters or people Hassan expresses dislike for or disagreement with. The harassment from his fan base appears to be significantly above and beyond the norm for the space, and while he comments to the contrary it would be hard to believe that he is unaware of the dynamic between him and his fan base. From what I can tell he has taken no steps towards solving this dynamic beyond disavowing some instances of the harassment, while condoning other instances. He does not appear to have a problem with lying about people or broadcasting random people (even known malicious actors, that he himself states to be malicious) on twitter or twitch if it fits his narrative.
He often breaks the rules of his streaming platform (twitch) but receives special treatment, although I am unsure if that is due to personal popularity or personal relationships with the owner of twitch.
He denies using a shock collar on his dog, but looking at the evidence gathered through old videos, still frames from new videos, and from people who personally interacted with the dog would suggest that to be a lie. I do not know if he still uses a shock collar on his dog since the latest controversy.
As said, feel free to research each of these points, but do be critical of the sources of information and try to just find the actual evidence of what was done or said, rather than peoples’ conclusions. He is divisive so when people give their take they usually either dismiss all the criticism and focus on the things he does well, or dismiss the things he does well and focus on the criticism.
Find all the evidence you can and make up your own mind."
Now, as for this case it looks like Hasan Piker is substantially more correct than Scott Jennings. Snopes did a good write up of the evidence, so I’d recommend looking at that directly, if you care about the issue.

Shock collars don’t even work on dogs like Kaya. Their fur is too thick around their neck. You’ve completely fallen for a smear campaign.
That is untrue. If the shock collar has the wrong types of prongs or if it is poorly fitted, it might not reach the skin well enough to make constant contact meaning that at some presses it wouldn’t work very well, but you can get models that will make contact even with thick fur.
You can’t simply dismiss the point without willfully, or otherwise, ignoring how shock collars do and do not work.
Now, based on the video where Hasan Piker gave us the best look at the shock collar, the best match would be the Educator RX-090, as confirmed by their own support team. Feel free to check this link, scrolling down to the section named “What the manufacturer’s support says”. The whole article gives a decent rundown of the evidence as well, but it’s a longer read.
This particular model might be an “extra poor” choice for Kaya given that Tibetan Mastiffs do tend to have doublecoated furs with a thick, whooly undercoat, but that is a common mistake people make when buying shock collars.
AHHHH I’M DEAD - You linked to a Medium article as proof?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yep. Feel free to criticize the actual approach the person took or try to disprove it though. I don’t really care where things come from, if the method is good.
That’s a fucking blog with no sources either. It’s an opinion piece with no meat, no substance, nothing.
Medium is not considered a good source in any space with serious adults talking about real issues.
This “article” is as useless as your AI block of text about Hasan with 0 sources.
There’s literal pictures take from Hasan’s own stream, and e-mail conversation with a company representive that recognizes the product. I chased down the image and found it to be verifiable. While I cannot very a private email I could verify the company and the product and match it to the image.
I don’t care where the evidence is, I care that it is verifiable in so far as it can be, and I could verify the majority of that blog post, which is more than you’ve been able to give me.
Again, no AI used in any of my work, but feel free to keep riding that ad hominem as far as it’ll take you.
Also all this time spent replying to me when you could have been sourcing your claims.
You’re not a serious person.
So you claim.
You people are so fucking dumb.
There is no way those prongs would hit Kaya’s skin. I know that because I have a family member with the exact same brand of collar. Those prongs are pretty short, and you wouldn’t even fucking bother. It is an excellent noisemaker for the dog. You can use it for long-range calling. It makes a loud beep and buzzes really well, and pretty much every dog is going to react to that.
Combine that with the “evidence” given, anyone that believes he shocked his dog is dumber than a box of nails. Wow, someone here said they looked at stillframes! Motherfuckers do the exact same thing as moon landing denialists and flat earthers do. It is insane to me that a fucking 15 second clip is groundbreaking evidence these fucking mouthbreathers give for a thing that even if it was true, would be relatively fucking minor to them, but goddamn do they fall for the same shit every time.
That’s quite the angry rant. I’ll try to filter out the personal attacks and focus on the substance.
You can claim that the collar would be a bad fit for Kaya and I’d agree, but the images taken from Hasan’s own streams make it hard to claim that it isn’t the Educator RX 090.
You could claim he might be better served with a vibration collar, which is what Hasan changed his story to, but this one is shock capable, and there would be no reason to buy a shock capable collar unless you intend to use the shock capability.
But my claim is that he used a shock collar on his dog, not that he used one that was a good fit for shocking his dog. That’s moving the goalpost, if not an outright straw man.
I don’t recall hearing a loud beep when it went off, but feel free to bring evidence to the contrary and I can use your standard of evidence to dig further.
You can go on a tirade about evidence but it doesn’t get much more concrete than stills or clips from Hasan Piker’s own streams.
And to clarify: I do not find animal abuse minor, and I certainly think shock collars are animal abuse. But that’s also trying to move the goalpost, once again.
Shock collars don’t even work on dogs like Kaya.
Then somebody probably should’ve told Piker that.
Oh you again hahahahaha
Come join the party. You’re gonna get wiped with facts.
I’m not the one spouting fallacies.
Stating that shock collars don’t work on that breed does not preclude Piker – fool that he is – from erroneously using one in a fit of rage. It’s a monumentally terrible argument. Try that fact on for size.
He’s one of those “People you agree with but say it in such an insufferable way you want to disagree” type of people.
Says politically good things, is very hot, but is also a smug douche.
Dark gods yes! He and Vaush have some (some) pretty good takes but damn, they are insufferable. And Hasan is a bit of a tankie on top of that. He has a pretty shit take on Ukraine.
It’s a shame that Vaush’s more combative style of speaking alienated so much of the left wing, because he does do really good political analysis and also advocates for such organizations like Progressive Victory.
He’s a leftist political streamer on twitch. He has been at it for many years now, and has recently been the target of many a smear campaign by conservative (and lots of liberal) media, especially after he campaigned with some leftist candidates throughout the United States in the recent primaries. Including Mamdani, and Abdul El-Sayed to name a couple. He comes off a bit like a dude bro, and has said provocative things. But personally I think he has lots of fantastic takes.
“Old enough to count, old enough to mount” - parasocial idol for people who were dropped on their head from a second story window as babies
Reminder that pedo_troll Ethan Klein sexualized a 17 year old boston bom bing victim, said he wanted to “fck that sweet juvenile vagna” while openly using the n word, and threatens to “f*ck her in the face” multiple times while his wife Hila Klein films the whole video
And then he cheated on his wife with a much younger intern.
A nepo baby cos playing as a progressive on TV to enrich himself. That’s his contribution to the world. And dumb people are attracted to him.
How does any of that justify Scott Jennings going on national television and slandering the man?
Go ahead and get those talking points from Fox. I’ll wait. Let’s hear your psycho argument about why this man deserved to be slandered by Mitch MicConnell’s right-hand hatchet man.
Psycho argument? That projection… I’m just pointing out the valid reasons I don’t like him, and I never did. Yall support nepo baby’s that are abusers go ahead, I just have a better grasp on morality then hasan piker.
The topic is “Scott Jennings made up a story about Hasan, fabricated evidence, and then presented that false evidence and is now being sued for slander”
It doesn’t matter how you feel about the victim. It doesn’t matter what other things the victim did. All of that is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is that Scott Jennings made up a story, fabricated evidence, and presented it on tv as fact. Scott should lose his job and this lawsuit, and he can never be allowed to work in journalism again.
As someone who found out about him about a year ago… Yea he’s said dumb stuff, but who hasn’t?
From the rest I’ve seen he’s constantly pushing leftist candidates and ideas and he seems to be in a space that’s dominated by right wing Nazi dipshits, so having him in there is a good thing.
The whole nepo baby comment I don’t know and don’t give a shit if true, the entire right is funded and bankrolled by Russians and fascists so I’m not going to nit pick.
So your solution is to support people that are rich? Do you know what a demagogue is? Well Stalin was one and I put money on it this guy is one also.
I’ve said dumb shit but Hasan is genuinely a egomaniacal pathological liar and frequently calls for violence both explicitly and in coded language. He is also ridiculously, like insanely slanderous to anyone who looks at him wrong. He fosters a community of people that other creators are terrified of so they walk on eggshells around him.
Ok now I know you are either a troll or shill. Everything you said is just wrong and lies and you won’t be able to back any of it up becuase there is hours of video of him proving the exact opposite.
The only time I’ve seen him say vile things is when he’s making fun of Conservatives and ironically saying the vile shit they actually believe.
IE this entire fucking post and the reason for the lawsuit!!
On the matter of nepotism, his uncle is Cenk Uygur who is the co-creator of The Young Turks (a progressive news show). Hasan acknowledges that he benefited from nepotism to launch his career as a political commentator since he got his start working for The Young Turks with his uncle. It’s not like he hides it or presents himself as “self-made” or any other bullshit like that, so I don’t really have a problem with it either.
You don’t see the problem with dumb people following a rich person? Do you hear yourself right now?
I do see a problem with dumb people following rich people, which is why I’m a socialist. I don’t see Hasan as a leader, I see him as a comrade. Socialism is not a poverty cult, the rich can be class traitors too and it matters where their money came from and if they’re honest about it. Hasan also puts his money where his mouth is, donating to campaigns, mobilizing his audience to campaign, funding and fundraising for causes like the PCRF, and delivering aid to and platforming Cubans suffering under US sanctions. Anyone who consistently delivers materially to the working class deserves the benefit of the doubt.
First off, he never helped Cubans. He showed up to clout chase and go on vacation. Secondly, he only donates large amount to arabic causes, probably a racist. He begs for money for causes while wearing D & G, directly propagating the system he claims to want to change. Again he claims this and that but acts like a PoS everytime I seen him. He is a demagogue and I hate how no one sees it.
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Piker, in partnership with CARE International, raised over $200,000 for Ukrainian humanitarian aid while playing Elden Ring, with an average of over 70,000 people watching his coverage of the conflict.[64][65][66]
In the aftermath of the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake, Piker organized a fundraiser that was also contributed to and promoted by other streamers and content creators, including Jacksepticeye, Valkyrae, Ludwig Ahgren, and IShowSpeed. As of February 10, the fundraiser had raised over $1,200,000 for charities such as CARE International’s Turkish and Syrian branches, as well as two Turkish NGOs: the AKUT Search and Rescue Association and Ahbap, which was founded by Turkish musician Haluk Levent.[67][68][69]
During the Gaza war, Piker’s charity drive on his channel had raised over $1,000,000 as of October 21, 2023, for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, American Near East Refugee Aid, Medical Aid for Palestinians, and the Palestine Red Crescent Society.[70][71]
During a March 2026 livestream, Piker helped raise more than $56,000 for congressional candidate Oliver Larkin.[79] Wired called this an example of content creators using their online influence for direct fundraising.[79]
A social democratic Twitch streamer prominent for supporting social democratic or progressive liberal candidates in primaries against more establishment democrats.
Best known for shocking his dog on a livestream.
Dan Saltman recently revealed that he was the originator of that lie and he did it specifically to smear Hasan.
More clips of Destiny and Dan Saltman coming up with the rumor
Nah, he has his problems as a reformist but the endless drama and defamation surrounding him is already known.
The root comment didn’t even know who Hasan was tf you mean “already known”.
Dude is a dog abuser, and it’s relevant.
It’s how I heard about him, at least. The dog shocking spawned a lot of memes that spilled out far and wide enough for people who don’t watch e-celebs to see.
Oh so you’re regurgitating unverified rumors to convince people to distrust this guy? Cool, cool.
Kinda funny we’re talking about this on a post about Hasan suing Scott Jennings for defamation.
yawn. I used to watch him religiously but him not owning up to shocking his dog put a bad taste in my mouth. Haven’t watched him since.
Hasan Piker is a great example of a person whose fame is a sign of the world being fucked up.
MAGA spotted. People like you benefit and support the Jeffrey Epstein Class, you are in no position to talk about what is fucked up.
Do MAGAs usually think that Trump should have been prison for treason/sedition/whatever after January 6 2021 and that he’s generally speaking not only the worst US president in history but also among the worst famous people in history?
Because that’s how I think and I think it kinda conflicts with the idea of being MAGA.
Oh so you are a Blue MAGA. You hate Hasan because of what he said about 9/11? You are cultist who gave his loyalty to the country, not the people. That is blue MAGA. American Exceptionalism. You are costing us, Mexicans, over 30,000+ innocent people every year while you keep wasting time searching for “the most perfect figure possible”.
Ok bye forever weirdo.
Seriously why does anyone give a shit about a twitch streamer?
Your orange cheeto master is a reality TV host, a failed business man who only made money through Russian mafia money laundering a pedophile and a rapist.
Can’t stand reality stars they’re just as bad as streamers.
Like I don’t have any particular interest, love or hate for Piker. I haven’t ever watched more than a few clips of him. But he does matter, both as a person and a political influencer. And your question is bullshit elitism. Saying “Why does anyone give a shit about [blank]?” and then filling that blank with any type of person you find frivolous, not for the content of their character or their opinions voiced, but for something like their chosen job or hobby, is fucking dumb. Particularly in relation to a politically active person in what is ostensibly a democracy. Everyone matters in a democracy. That is the actual point.
You may as well have said, “Why does anyone give a shit about a janitor?” Well if that janitor has a lot of political influence, good or bad, you should give a shit. What the fuck does it matter if he is a janitor, a twitch streamer, or any other role? If they are talking and people are listening and it is effecting people’s political insights and mindset and vote, it doesn’t matter what they do for work or how they got their audience. It matters that others are listening. And it also matters that he is the object of political ire from his ideological opponents. No matter how dumb any of it is, these things have real tangible effects on our world. You don’t have to pay him any mind or grant his opinions any credence or like him or hate him or feel anything at all about him to acknowledge that he objectively does matter to the political sphere.
A decade ago, people where dismissive of Trump because he was (and is) a fucking caricature of a wealthy womanizing narcissist with a big mouth. “Who gives a shit about some rich real-estate playboy?”, one might have asked. But his big mouth runs and millions of voters eat up every word. Do you think Trump’s bullshit matters now?
Janitors aren’t typically known for their narcissism like twitch streamers are.
Whenever you are using what someone is “known for’ as your criticism, you lose legitimacy to your argument. See, Scott Jennings intentionally tried to make Piker “known for” lynchings. The “known for” something critique is a Trump style attack…” Everybody is talking about how Obama was born in Africa. Sounds like we shouldn’t trust that guy.". It’s lazy and malicious.
If you want to criticize Piker, do so for demonstrable conduct. All you did instead was signal to me your argument is bs.
He forms parasocial relationships with people for money like all twitch streamers or other streamers.
You don’t have to believe it I’m not trying to change your mind.
and clowns do pratfalls to entertain people, or apparently, belittle people on lemmy to further their agenda.
You’re calling me a clown so I think you’re the only one belittling people in this conversation.
But by all means continue to do so if it makes you feel better.
only if you own the clause,
for someone who asks why we should even consider him important, you are very consistent in your attempt at dismissing him as a person. probably because he it’s important, and his arguments are hard to assail.
Because being smart is not acceptable in America.
Because being smart is not acceptable in America.
Piker has a degree in communications and political sci from Rutgers. What do you got?
I have a Masters from UCLA lmao.
What the fuck is Ucla? One of those flyover states?
Edit bc I wasn’t hostile enough: take your papermill degree and shove it up your ass, you obviously didn’t learn anything. Your little CC certificate won’t save you when the revolution comes
Y’all really don’t know why nobody likes you, do you? Keep defending your loudmouth talking heads since you can’t think for yourself anyway.
