Don’t listen to the lazy slander of Hasan Piker, which is one of two types, either dismissing the incredibly dangerous precedent this sets because they don’t like his politics (which is a massive red flag about that person) or they try to slander him as some crazy radical.
Don’t listen to these people’s words at face value, decide for yourself, if you want to know about what happened listen to Hasan’s side before you jump on the lazy hate train other people are honking the horn for in this thread.
At no point did I say I’m dismissing the precedent. The precedent was set months ago, and people are kidding themselves if they’re seeing Hasan as the first example of this.
All I’m going to say is how I’m sick of the fact that it takes the bad things to happen to a big name for Americans and people in general to give a shit, and while I do care about this happening to people in general, Hasan? Couldn’t care less.
This has been happening for ages now with your average person, and now we’re supposed to care about how this happened to Hasan?
checks notes yup says here under basic human decency that actually we are supposed to care about bad things happening to people even when we believe those bad things have happened in the past to other people, glad we cleared that confusion up :)
That’s not what I’m saying and you know you’re misconstruing what I’m saying here.
“Oh no, the economy’s in a downturn, thousands of people are losing their jobs, but let’s make an article about how that negatively affects Taylor Swift”
“New disease killing millions claims life of Ben Shapiro”
I’m not saying “this has happened to people before, suck it up buttercup”, I’m saying of all the people this is sadly happening to, this is the guy I care about the least. Replace Hasan with Alex Jones and tell me you’d give half a shit in comparison to anybody else facing this.

Yes, I would still be disturbed, but more importantly I would focus on raising people’s awareness of the pattern I had previously noted before I believed others had.
Even comparing Hasan to Alex Jones as if they are even remotely equatable is absurd though.

“in comparison to”, I’m not dismissing that this is still bad happening to Hasan.
And that wasn’t my point, I was using an over the top example to show where I’m coming from.
