Hasan Piker

And there's like three things that they can point to.

And one of them is me referring to, you know.

ultra far-right ethno-nationalists and fascists as inbred, which is something that I deploy against all matter of racists and white nationalists in general, because that revolves around purity politics, like genetic purity politics at the end of the day.

And I think that's a normal pejorative to deploy against, you know, neo-Nazis and far-right settlers as well.

I do think that the double down you made on Pod Save America— I'm a harm reduction voter, I'm a lesser evil voter, and therefore I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time.

I'm about to quadruple down because I tripled down on it.

I tripled down on it on LBC.

I think like the quadrupling and tripling down on it is like also part of the process.

Like I'm aware that this is something that most people have never encountered.

This is not a statement that they would ever hear in polite society.

And that's kind of the purpose of it.

It's intentionally provocative.

It is intentionally provocative, but I don't think it's inappropriate.

I think that that flattening actually does a disservice to the Palestinian resistance fronts in its entirety because there is no flattening.

When I say Israel is a thousand times worse, I mean it because the reality of the matter is in the Western world, once any non-state actor is designated as a terrorist organization, there is a good deal of racialized animosity demonstrated towards these sorts of groups as well.

And I think that it's important for people to understand these are normal human beings at the end of the day that have suffered tremendous loss over the years.

I guess people maybe don't care about the discrimination Hamas faces.

No, no.

But it's very important to understand that because it's not Hamas.

Hamas is not an alien entity.
