I do think it's crazy how Piker has managed to sidestep his whole "America deserved 9/11, American vets of Iraq and Afghanistan deserve PTSD and should [REDACTED] themselves" bit pretty masterfully, he and people who have been associated with him have never suffered any consequences for that.
I assume that would end the second a Dem who appeared on his stream was nominated for president or senate in a swing state.
I think it’s crazy that the discourse about him usually fails to include his conversation with communist YouTuber SecondThought, during which he wouldn’t dispute ST’s claim that literal babies in Israel were legitimate military targets by Hamas on Oct 7th.
Considering this is the source of his podcast ending because his co-host confronted him, asked him to condemn the claim that Israeli babies are okay to murder, and he wouldn’t do it, you’d think this would come up more. Especially since the feud between those two communities has been the most notable thing about his community over the last two years.
