“They ain’t letting me back in the country [USA] dawg.” (03:02:34 Nov 11, 2025)

After picking up the PRC flag from the ground in some exercise of respect, Hasan Piker dusted off the flag before putting it in his pocket.

He then makes a sarcastic comment foretelling his coming struggle getting back in America due to this gesture.

      He got detained by CBP a while back, but has done some international travel since then without getting detained.

      That being said, his profile is even higher now after the Mamdani election, and this time he will be returning from China, last time it was France.

      It is probably 50/50 on whether he gets detained at all, and the length of that detention will most likely be just a few hours again, but who knows. Anything is possible.

  • Seeing Trump tweet something like “Radical communist Hasan Piker, who has been brainwashing our great children, is trying to return to the US after attending communist lessons in China. I am asking customs and immigration to keep him out of our beautiful country!” would be pretty wild.

    Isn’t a good thing that there is a popular voice normalizing China to westerners?

    Like I think he’s too much of democratic socialist and I dislike how he focuses so much on electroralism and doesn’t cover shit like the vanguard party and stuff, but isn’t doing things like being pro Palestine, pro china, anti-western imperialism generally good for getting people to become actual Marxist Leninists. Its not like everyone started out as a hardcore ML, a lot of people start somewhere

    Im Hasan ambivalent but considering his profile level and the fact he does have some cash, he should have a lawyer on retainer if hes gonna poke the bear and leave the country if he’s committed to remaining. Seems naive not to load up as much legal protection you can if you have the means to do so and are a public figure.

      Aside from the loudest pro-Palestinian voice in the US, who just two days ago in a debate with a cohort of centrist ghouls blasted the Bill Clinton “Judea and Samaria” racist rant from last year to the thunderous applause of an entire auditorium

        I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, being on the right side of the Palestinian genocide is literally the lowest ideological/moral bar possible. Literally evil freaks like Marjorie Taylor green have fallen ass backwards into being against the genocide.

        Where is Hasan Piker, hero of anti-imperialism, when it comes time to debate whether “The Left™” should uplift a guy who signed up to slaughter his way across the Middle East in the name of American empire not once, not twice, not three times, not four times, but FIVE times? Dutifully performing his role of sheepdogging people into the Democratic Party, and tricking people like yourself into having the shortest possible idea of where the political horizon could be - while helpfully propping up your deep seated sense of American exceptionalism and liberalism.

          Trivalizing pro-Palestinian activism and for what, cause of your personnel crusade against the dipshit, cracker, maybe-a-nazi/maybe not idiot marine from Maine? Trashing leftists over sideshow flyover state election bullshit

          And all that despite the fact Hasan passed your test when he the spent the whole week of that controversy bashing Platner, calling him a “unacceptable dipshit” and “incredible dumbass” and stating he wouldn’t offer a kind word in his direction until Platber clarifies without doubt his position on American imperialism

          No that’s not good enough, cause we all have to subscribe to your idiosyncratic conspiracy theory about Manchurian candinate neo nazis and if we end up bashing AIPAC’s number one media enemy then so be it right? Cause we got our priorities straight

          Dutifully performing his role of sheepdogging people into the Democratic Party

          Dude spends most of his streams bashing the dnc and calling the dems controlled opposition, but he’s “sheepdogging” right?

          and tricking people like yourself into having the shortest possible idea of where the political horizon could be

          You’re not looking at any poltical horizons, you’re staring off into space screaming at a constellation that resembles Hasan’s face

            Trashing leftists over sideshow flyover state election bullshit

            I’m not trashing leftists, I have issues with a liberal political commentator being held up as the beyond reproach saviour and sole hope of socialism in America.

            your idiosyncratic conspiracy theory about Manchurian candinate neo nazis

            You must be confusing me with someone else, at no point did I say Platner was a neo Nazi or a Manchurian candidate. I (paraphrasing) called him a willing and unrepentant tool of American imperialism.

            “Screaming at a constellation that resembles Hasan’s face?” Do you hear yourself lol. You seem confused that I am some sort of Hasan obsessive. I just don’t like opportunism (which is also why you and I keep getting into disagreements). I also think the so-called left (better stated as “the working class movement”) deserves better thought leaders (or god forbid actual organisers) than “radical liberal who reads articles and yells at his computer 12 hours a day”.

            Again, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out which side of the genocide question to be on. On most other ideological, theoretical, organisational matters Piker is shown to be not up to the task. The way some of you folks defend him it’s like he was the second coming of Lenin. I really think we could do a lot better, and if we don’t critique what’s in front of us how will that be achieved?

              I have issues with a liberal political commentator being held up as the beyond reproach saviour and sole hope of socialism in America.

              He’s not beyond reproach, just don’t lie about his takes or downplay his role and reach in radicalizing millions of Americans

              He’s stupidly too charitable with his reactionary enemies and he relies on liberal sources for his Ukraine takes despite having the correct take about NATO in general, it’s contradictory

              Wow how easy was that, I didn’t need to make shit up or insult other leftists over them stanning his leading role in normalizing pro-Palestinian activism

              You seem confused that I am some sort of Hasan obsessive. I just don’t like opportunism (which is also why you and I keep getting into disagreements)

              None of you have ever demonstrated or proved this supposed “opportunism” you all just make shit up, misrepresent his real takes or worst of all promote Destiny smear campaigns (which is the real reason I will always come down on your heads when it comes to Hasan bashing)

              Every time I point this shit out you all end up having the wildest crash outs and throwing out bizarre accusations or dumb lines like “Marx is rolling in his grave

              Sorry, but when it comes to Hasan, you guys are simply delusional and negatively primed in weird parasocial ways

              Hasan is an effective radicalizer, not toward liberalism, but toward socialism and his next two weeks in China is gonna demonstrate that fact for you doomers

              It’s always pro Palestine and never anti Zionist. How curious, I wonder what’s Hasan’s position on West Bank settlers is (he thinks there’s too many to decolonize so a one state is needed to not uproot the colonizers from stolen land). I wonder why people keep calling out me using Marx’s name when all I do is defend liberals and call everyone who critiques them ultra larpers

              Dw this poster thinks Hasan is the most important figure ever, if you’re actively engaged in making sure trans people arent homeless that is considered less important, by that person’s words. Already discussed this with them, just ignore the ramblings, their opinions aren’t grounded and are entirely parasocial.

              Does Hasan do some useful agitation ?Maybe. Are there better things he could focus on with all of his cash? Absolutely.

          So advocacy, normalization and agitation is worthless according to you? Propaganda is just meaningless?

          Yeah what a fraud, why isn’t this Twitch streamer leading the vanguard workers party into a martial conflict with the state, the fool

          At this point Hasan haters on this site are indistinguishable from vaush or destiny stans

              It’s not a dichotomy, it’s the implication and expectation the anti-Hasan battalion keeps alluding to everytime you trash Hasan over bullshit, obviously when someone just says the take out loud it sounds real goofy af doesn’t it

              Meanwhile I’m back on planet earth happy there’s at least one prominent leftist voice normalizing Palestinian liberation, wild how realistic expectations saves you from taking embarrassing ass takes seriously
