15. Piker's a genuinely awful person

Let's see. Raging misogynist. Told trans people Democrats would shoot them in the head. Calls anyone who criticizes him a Zionist pedophile. Did sex tourism in Europe at a brothel that was later raided for human trafficking. Shocked his dog live on stream. Screams at immigrants. Yelled at Black people when they didn't agree with him. Told a Vietnamese woman to go back to her country. Flashes a hyper-consumerist capitalist lifestyle while cosplaying as a socialist. Openly supports Hamas, the Houthies, and Hezbollah. Speaks glowingly of autocratic regimes like the CCP.

He's the Nick Fuentes of the Left. Your basic tankie.

And the PR push for him is totally bizarre. He's a nepo baby who gets gushing article after article written about him. Someone's paying for it. His "huge following" is 30k viewers on Twitch, and they act like he's got Joe Rogan's audience. Speaking of, Piker's audience are totally unhinged. He had to mute his chat after the murder of the two Jewish young people, because they cannot be trusted not to celebrate it.

Listen to his streams for about 30 minutes, and it rapidly becomes clear he doesn't really know anything. He just yaps. And the weird streak of sociopathic narcissism is on full display (although, granted, the fact he has a narcissistic meltdown at all times is kind of funny).

Any politician that associates with him is instant disqualification for me.

If the Left can't do better than this guy, we're in trouble.
