Hasan Piker reacts to How I Escaped the Alt-Right by Adam Something.Original video: https://youtu.be/94_5mXsQTpAStreamed on 8/19/21. VOD Link: https://www.tw...

This guy "used to be" alt-right (i.e. a Hungarian Fascist), then it turns out he's still shit. :surprised-pika:

Original video instead of Hasan clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94_5mXsQTpA

Editing to say I really do hope that all the dunking he's getting on his YouTube posts convinces this guy to read a bit and finally understand why his fascist beliefs were bad in the first place, and why he's wrong.

          I don't wanna watch them do that, but could you sum up what they said?

        I like WTYP too, and I'mma keep listening to them. 2/3 of the members are pretty based cough cough not tying to get sectarian. but I think like all of them are kinda on the hook for this tbh, it was cringe

          I've listened to the gang long enough to trust that this is just an extremely embarrassing episode, but if they keep posting cringe they are going to lose subscriber.

            oh yeah, I've been listening for like a year and a half, 2 years maybe? back since they were on the donoteat01 youtube channel. they're cool and comrades and so on, this was just kind of fucking cringe and I hope they address it. I'm not one for holding a single fuck up over somebody

          Their comments critiquing the Soviet Union and stuff tend to be on point a lot of the time, they just have a really scoldy tone. Like chill out, Alice, and maybe let a year pass from that time you unironically wanted to be a cop before you get too judgey.

          I do love the hosts and the pod generally though. (Edit: I referred to the pod hosts collectively as them, and I know trans women get referred as "them" sometimes by transphobes so I wanted to make it clear)

              Oh sorry, my original comment had "I do love them and the pod generally though." Immediately after a comment specific to Alice, and I just didn't want that ambiguity there.

          I just hope they realize what a mistake it was. Haven't really kept up with what they've said since (not really that into twitter or youtube comments).

        That was the first ep I ever watched of them, I wanted to see what all the buzz was about and also because the ep was on my country which was pretty cool, but I feel like I picked the worst ep to start on lol. They do seem like funny folks and I don't mind criticisms of the SU in the slightest but there was some shit especially from Adam that just made me go hmmmmm.

      Like half of his comments made me go "I think there's more to him than just socialist critical of the Soviet Union."

        His video pissing and moaning about how ugly gonmulist architecture is was an immediate turn-off for me

      No you see, it's OK that they platformed a fascist/apologist without criticizing him, because they're... a leftist podcast or something.

          If you look at the recent posts about him on here, he's basically been defending the Nazis to own the USSR.

                :this: Double-genocide theory is literally a form of Holocaust denial, except it's socially acceptable because all the shitlibs engage in it. It's also an actual fascist talking point, straight out of Nazi propaganda.

              Minimizing Nazis by favorably comparing them to USSR. Ignoring that Hungary was an Axis power during WW2. Ignoring that western leaders basically all supported fascism and claiming that they simply rejected USSR methods. Agreeing with western powers not wanting to work with Stalin before WW2 (against fascism lmao). All from the single post.

              Then there was the WTYP episode where he went all calipers and said the Russians were bad because enlightenment thinking didn't reach them.

              Basically, being against the USSR during WW2 de-facto make you at least a fascist sympathizer, which is the same thing as being a fascist.

              But he did say that communists/soviets were just red nazis, and whenever I’ve encountered people who say that they eventually reveal themselves to be racist

              It's actually amazing how consistent it is. That was why I posted this - this dude is (unsurprisingly) a "former" fascist, who clearly hasn't let go of all his "previous" opinions.

      I still haven't figured out what that podcast is about. I listened to a three hour one about a bridge but they never talked about the bridge. That they have posted cringe makes me glad I never figured it out.
