Any comment that has to point out his politics or "concerns with him" is completely missing the point.

Yeah, it's disgusting that people's first reaction to someone being unjustly detained is that.

Pretty sure dude is a leftist. Capitalist media has never encountered this before.

I have a like/dislike perspective on Hasan Piker.
Hes tankie-lite. Critical support for him in this case though, fuck ICE.
Its probably an indicator that I really need to touch grass that I'm primarily curious what Ethan Klein and Lonerbox think of this.
Man, I liked some of Klein's videos from way back ( idubbbz as well) but when YouTubers shift from whatever content they were making to making content about the platform or others on it I usually check out real quick.
I also can't do 3 hour podcasts where people talk over each other and yell either so maybe I'm just not the target demo anymore.
Its further an indication that I need to touch grass that when I read your name I think of Vaush's editor.
It's too bad they didn't let him stream it. That would've been peak content.
The questioning (though harmless) is often a stepping stone to more drastic measures. In the place where I live (not the US), my local religious police does questioning to make sure that activists are not posting their status online. This sort of measure helps them evade accountability and keeps the general public in ignorance.
The questioning (though harmless)
There's nothing "harmless" about kidnapping people and coercing them into an interrogation.

Yep, that's some of the harm.
That is true. Interrogations do harm communities to a larger extent than I initially thought. I recall how my neighborhood had to stop everything (such as art, videos, embroidery, food) just so they could avoid police kidnappings. We had three post-doctoral candidates in our district arrested for insulting the sultan (and his religion) and although they were smart enough to hire defense counsel, their lawyers told us that their clients are "jailed without trial".

Never heard of this guy but must have hit a nerve if a whole Hasbara brigade is showing up here to trash talk him.
That being said, it’s an interesting turn of events that apparently units around immigration take the role of Gestapo. Makes a lot of sense given what types of people would even want to do such a job but it’s still not what I expected when they said fascism is coming back.
Right wing groups have been targeting him for his support of Palestine and being critical of Israel.
It should be a surprise to no one that government goons are totally on board with fascism. Did anyone think for a second that they would have objections? A person that chose to be in a position of authority is going to complain when an authoritarian leader gives them more power? Yeah right. It's all about the power trip for those thugs.
