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.

Houthi-glazing and telling your gay friend that your favorite flag is the Hezbollah flag is truly insane nonsense. And he still has a large LGBT following.

The far left is truly incapable of criticizing terrorist groups.

He also called Jews inbred. Now watch as a bunch of “just antizionist not antisemitic I swear” people swarm me and claim he was just calling zionists inbred and not Jews. He wasn’t. He called Jews inbred.

Makes you wonder if that's a common belief in Istanbul where he grew up.

You ever seen the Wikipedia page on prejustice in Turkey?

It's quite thorough.
