Cause despite all of the puff pieces he's still mainly known online as "That commie that shocks his dogs" and the candidates he hard shilled for don't want to touch him with an 80 inch pole anymore because he is poison to them.

Plus, he allegedly pays for the majority of the puff pieces. The ones that aren't paid for seem negative-to-neutral at best. That has to chap his ass more than anything.

He's gonna be on Ziwe

The interview with Ziwe came out yesterday, and contrary to my wary prediction, it's actually very good. I've never heard of this Ziwe person before and only understood her to be a comedian mainly by way of uncomfortable questions towards guests, but this whole interview comes off to me as a scathing roast of Hasan that says, "Hasan is a vain, shallow frat boy who superficially adopts Leftwing causes for personal fame and fortune." I know that editing can do a lot to manipulate video interviews for comedic (deceptive) effect, The Daily Show being a famous example that does this all this time, but having seen plenty of Hasan besides, I believe that Hasan is actually that socially awkward and daft to not recognized when he's being critically mocked. Or if not, he feels like he has no choice but to kowtow to humiliation because his interviewer is a popular black woman of Leftwing standing, similar to what Hasan has said about how he behaved in his recent MS NOW interview with Symone Sanders.
"What is the most American thing about you, and why is it wanting to be famous?"
To be clear, it appears that Ziwe calls all of her interview subjects "an iconic guest" as a running joke.

The biggest caveat is that reception to this interview appears to be a sort of Rorschach test depending on how you view Hasan to begin with as I see what is obviously his audience flooding the YouTube comments with praises along the line of, "Haha, Hasan is so awkward!" while ignoring all the ways that the interview is actually being comedically critical of him. I'm sure that Hasan himself considers it to be a PR win.

Some good clips in which it feels like Ziwe's subtle derision of Hasan is going over his head:
  • "I have zero black friends." "I believe you have zero black friends." "Really?"
  • "You once said, 'Let the streets soak in red capitalist blood.' How was the Oscar parties this year?" "(Loudly sips from mug in long pause) It was weird. Jeff Bezos was there. Terrifying. A lot shorter than I thought he would be." "What was your favorite part?"
  • "I think I have a pretty decent approach [to ethical progressive standards that aren't self-enriching]. When I do merchandise, for example..." "Mmm!"
  • "So you're saying to the audience, 'Pacify! Don't be violent!' If you can just say that to camera." "Yeah, pacify. Don't be violent. (Snort laughs)" "..." "... What?" "..." "..."

  5. Ziwe: “You live in a $2.7 million house. Why are your needs more important than 90% of other Californians?” Piker: “I mean, I have a mortgage. I didn't pay cash for it.

  9. “You criticize the Democratic Party for enriching themselves off the back of constituents while you enrich yourself by talking about progressive politics. What are your profit projections for the midterms?”

  11. “What is the most American thing about you, and why is it wanting to be famous?”

  13. - plays clip of Hasan describing how he wants to give and receive buttsex - Ziwe: "Do you queerbait for attention? Are you gay for pay?"
  14. "I say I'm straight all the time. I tell people I'm not gay all the time." Ziwe: "So you're saying you're straight but you can talk about the buttsex that you have had," "I haven't actually had buttsex." "Okay, I don't know, when you say 'I straight up had buttsex' I assume you mean that, but you don't mean it."
  15. "[My glasses] are also transitions. Which I feel like is kind of lame." Ziwe: "Why? Also we don't say lame anymore." "Why?" "Because it's abelist." "You're lying. I mean, it is ableist, I know. but that's-" "But you don't care."
  16. Ziwe:" Donald Trump won." "It's true." Ziwe: "You remind me of him."
  17. "Would you just say "I love Donald Trump and I have zero black friends to the camera"
  18. "How was it? Do you think it's going to be good?" Ziwe: "Well, I could turn wheat into gold."

self-owns
  1. "Would you take your shirt off for us today?" "No, No. I'm feeling pretty fat."
  2. Ziwe: “Tell the audience why you deserve to be platformed.” Piker: “Um, I don’t.”
  3. Ziwe: “How exactly are you a revolutionary?” Piker: “I’m not.”
  4. On running for office: “Probably wouldn’t even win. Let’s be real.”
  5. Ziwe on his LGBT advocacy: "What is your advocacy" “It’s actually a fairly low bar to clear... it's just honestly don't be mean to LGBTQ” "That's your advocacy? Don't be mean?"
  6. His advice to the terminally online is “Go outside, touch grass.” Asked about his own 21,000 hours of streaming: “No one should do that.”
  7. On being photographed asleep in first class, his complaint was “neither of us look that good cuz we’re sleeping.”
  8. Ziwe says “Let’s land this plane” and he replies with a Mohamed Atta joke, then refuses to repeat it to camera.
  9. Piker: "I love places like Oklahoma. I love uh the the the countryside hogs that live in it. It's uh it's my favorite thing." Ziwe: "..... *blank stare*"
  10. "I have to slut myeslf out a little bit." Ziwe: "..... *pause* what does that mean?" "You know... just... uh.. be a little slutty" *long pause* "Sorry, I apologize" *continuous long pause as Piker squirms*
Generally speaking I don't think she was actively trying to take him down moreso joking, but there is some truth in her jokes that probably annoyed him.

I think the most interesting takeaway from this that Ziwe identified about halfway thru with the slutty thing and continued the bit heavily after that, is that Hasan is VERY uncomfortable with long silences and will squirm like a bug apologizing or smirking nervously when it happens.
"I need to fill dead air. What are we doing?"

Yeah, I've seen some of those comments, and they all feel like damage control to me.

"it's called comedy. you wouldn't get it. of course he won't name his black friends because the fascists like YOU will DOXXXXXX them, it's called being a good ally."

Well, perhaps the real reason the turkroach didn't name names is because his black friend Damilare Sonoiki is kind of a rapey fraudster.

Reading this stuff, it seems that Hasan Really isn’t comfortable socially; he still is that fat little Turkish kid.

Hasan should definitely pay a visit to the Houthis IRL and see what happens.

It will be like One Piece - the hero (Hasan) and his brave crew (ex blizzard developers, now dog walkers or stockholm syndrome producers) will arrive at the Island (Yemen) and they will defeat the big bad guy (Israel) through the power of friendship ( twitch media coverage) and new combat abilities (chat donations), so justice is served and a grand feast will happen at the end where the oppressed rebels take over the corrupt country and improve the quality of living for all (more infidels slain, more tankers kidnapped, more american nazis seething, more money for Hasan).

But one thing I noticed before that he demonstrates in that clip is his ability to immediately recall obscure designer names for whatever he's wearing, indicating his attraction to luxury goods. In this case it's "ALD", the NYC designer brand Aimé Leon Dore. The "Suede Loafers" in question doesn't appear to be in the brand store anymore, but there are ones in the same mold that cost $400. The website Hasan indicates, whether that's where he actually buys from or not, is called TheRealReal, "the world's largest & most trusted resource for authenticated luxury resale". It seems that you can't even navigate the website without an account, but I found it with that exact shoe listing before Hasan even brought it up.

Makes sense that he's scouring these high end second hand stores to find his endless amounts of new (semi-)expensive clothing. He does seem to love combining all kinds of weird brand clothing into some kind of unholy mix, so I would believe this is where he got it from.

Two problems though: First, $136 is not $100. Sure that's much closer than $400, but still interesting that the one time he decides to put out some kind of proof he's still about 1/3 off. Second, if "thrifting" has any kind of meaning, this isn't it. Nobody thinks you went into some kind of specialized, highly curated, luxury oriented second hand store when you said you went thrifting (even less so if it was their online store). This is something else.

Another thing he claimed he thrifted for $100 was a Moncler sweater in Japan a couple of years ago. Apparently they generally go for around $800 and up, and it doesn't exactly look especially worn:


In may he also claimed he thrifted a pair of Zegna dress pants for $30, at the same time indicating that they cost at least $700 new:


Seems unlikely to put it mildly.

Supposedly he used to actually thrift a lot, but now says repeatedly that it's basically useless nowadays. Claims he got this "Rodeo jacket" while "actually thrifting" "years ago":


One thing that's easy to notice when looking at these things is that it's both important for him to show that he got them fairly cheaply, and to convey that they are from a pretty expensive brand. Here he goes further though, also starting to talk about his expensive tailor and tailored suits:


Here he's bragging about his tailored suit to Abdul el-Sayed (sorry, the start of the clip got a bit messed up):


He also admits here that he's basically trying to copy Mamdani. No mention of also being bullied into it by ShoeOnHead though.

Just from looking at what was posted here it seems to actually be the most adversarial (or at least challenging) interview he has done. The Axios interview was basically nothing and the Triggernometry interview was very soft (although to be fair to those guys, Hasan was very careful with his statements there).

I almost have to commend him, knowing how flustered he gets, he seemed to hold up okay in that regard. I do wonder when she says something that somewhat makes fun of him and he just keeps yabbing on, if he just don't get it, or if that's just his best way to cope with it.

He could have a million and one ways to still enjoy his extreme wealth in private but the fuckboy nepobaby in him still makes him want to flaunt it even when he is supposed to be a champion for the working class, commies deserve this retard being their chief voice in current year+20XX
 
I can tell that Hasan wanted to find a way to call her a Nazi but he knew it would be a hard sell even to his own audience. Having him seriously start squirming was nice. None of his usual tactics would work and he was trying hard to come up with something. He hadn't thought this hard in his life and it was obvious. His face when he heard her say "I believe you have no black friends" reminded me of Blackadder when he heard that the men in front of him were his executioners.
 
You can always tell the midwit when they're getting roasted and instead of just laughing you see them trying to set up some comeback in their mind but they can never get it out. And even worse, if they do it's just an empty generic insult, "I just had sex with your wife!". And with Hasan a tell of him being uncomfortable is his tiny neck retreating into his body, he's sinking in that chair as the interview goes on because in his mind he's just delivering the best comebacks and everyone is converting to communism right. now.

The Mao suit is clearly padded to make him look bigger/stronger but he still looks stupid.
