I gotta say "insular tankie sect aesthetics with milquetoast socdem politics" is a really good bit. too bad about the gore posting really.

genuinely wonder how much this dude's views have grown just from the streisand effect of having the consulting class freak out about him nonstop for weeks

The weirdest to ever do it.

It's cool how you can still do something like self-appoint yourself "first national secretary of the Social Democrats of America" and get quoted by Newsweek in the year of our lord 2026

Theo Chino jump scare

Vietnam War dissent art was shoot-and-cry films about how being an American soldier sucked. War on Terror dissent art is sci-fi movies about how being an Arab terrorist rocks. 3:37 AM • 4/18/26 • 21K

A tweet from the ADL about Hasan Piker for some reason

Ah! Well.

Wonder what the ADL is up to these days

Screenshot of Alexandre Dumas from Fate/Strange fake, not particularly resembling the real guy.

No I don't know why he has checkerboard teeth. Gilgamesh is blonde and King Arthur is a waifish girl in this series, just don't worry about it

What's fun about this fact is that a not-insignificant number of people may have learned about it from the light novel/anime series Fate Strange/Fake (by the Bacanno creator!)

I'm kidding of course. I very much doubt he read any Augustine

You think JD Vance is actually read up on contemporary Catholic doctrine on just wars in the Catechism or did he just read a little Augustine and then wank one out to Urban II calling for the first crusade.

Here's Ghorman square where your kids can reenact their favorite civilian massacres

They'd fucking better make a Fondor at some point tho

Here's the safehouse apartment with changeable components that simulate the metaphor of societal decay under fascism.

I do wish there'd been more Andor Lego sets but I understand they'd have to work a bit on that one. Oh yeah here's the fascist board room diorama. Here's the forced labor prison work floor - there's a lighting effect to simulate the mass torture execution!

Oh yea me and my buddies formed a group called the Sons of the Schutzstaffel. Yeah we dress up in the uniforms and write newsletters about how maybe the Holocaust wasn't so bad and was more complicated than people think. Please don't make assumptions though, we're obviously not celebrating the Nazis

THEY EXPECT ONE OF US IN THE WRECKAGE BROTHER

"No tax on tips paid for cancer treatment" It's a great match up! You can just tell any lies you want these days.

lmao they ordered a DoorDash plant for Trump but got a DoorDash plant for... DoorDash. Who would have guessed.

This is a very funny historical comparison since after the Road to Canossa the HRE emperor got excommunicated AGAIN and then invaded Rome like two years later.

Found Suleiman the Magnificent's alt:

You'll have so many signs and wonders, you'll say, "Mister President, please! No more signs and wonders, it's too many!" And I'll say no no, for I am a wonderful counselor, more wonderful maybe even than some others, and everyone is astonished, they're following President Trump!

somewhat related: DBH's article on Orthodoxy in America is great because it starts off with this anecdote about this random American man bitching about the fall of Constantinople despite the fact that he had converted to EO like 4 months earlier from evangelical Protestantism

Yeah unfortunately for the Dem consultant class Joe Walsh is not currently the guiding light for the Dem base. IDK if Piker is either but it's probably closer

This is not to weigh in on the Is Hasan Piker Good discourse. For the record I care the appropriate amount about a leftist twitch streamer and his implications for the future of the Dems: not much.

Like I'm sure this'll freak out the Baileys but the average Resist Lib I know is at this very moment posting a When It's Our Turn We Will Not Make Excuses For The Terror meme with admirable zeal if questionable graphic design sense.

"By the way how do you plan to maintain that ethnic majority?"
"Oh, well, you know..."

I don't think "Hasan Piker says mean things about Republicans" is going to have the effect of turning off your median Democratic voter tbh

analogy for the America brained is like if the Dems lost to Trump four times in a row and then ran Mitt Romney to save the country and won crazy supermajorities and also Mitt Romney was named Johnny America
