Hasan Piker, an influential streamer and political commentator, has recently criticized Cornell University for allegedly punishing Palestinian student activists more severely than students accused of committing sexual assault. Piker’s claims have added to public outrage over the Ivy League school following the lawsuit filed against it over the alleged 2024 gang rape in a campus fraternity house.
During his visit to Cornell University on Thursday, when he addressed an audience of around 450 people at Sage Chapel, Piker commented that students participating in pro-Palestinian demonstrations have been given more severe punishments than students found guilty of committing sexual crimes. In particular, the controversial statements he made during his visit have spread rapidly online.
“You got more of a penalty at Cornell University if you participated in a pro-Palestine student encampment,” Piker has claimed. “I was talking to some of the leaders of the pro-Palestine encampments. One of them got expelled for a year. They got suspended for a year.”
“They got literally worse penalties in Cornell University than half of the rapists did, or than most of the rapists did,” Piker said. “It’s (expletive) nuts.”
You think Piker’s messaging benefits the United States?
100% he’s “vote blue no matter who” now https://youtu.be/St7ztMwqK5Q
lol bad empanada is a really bad stain on the internet tbh, he’s all bark and no bite. People act like you have to take him seriously then he’s out there quoting victims of communism and saying slurs written by Nazis. It’s one thing if he was like, “my bad”, but he’s way more concerned with drama slop and being an edgelord than admitting he was wrong and being racist. It’s all fun and games til you gotta come back down from your YT views.
Like, take his criticism of US and liberals for example; very poignant and truthful, necessary even. But then he goes and like, makes an edgy video game, and yall act like he can do no wrong. And don’t get me wrong. I’m not “offended” by what he says cuz I’m American. I just don’t listen to edgelords, you’re really telling me making a cool “you get to be a liberation army” video game is like, cool and necessary? And arguing tooth and nail that Americans just care about feelings? Idk sometimes I really don’t get it.
FD got utterly demolished by BE it wasn’t even funny. And then he copied all BE’s arguments and pretended he always had them. I’m quite amazed anyone came away from that thinking good about FD.
lol. No he didn’t. This is what I mean, his fanbase goes rabbid against people over drama slop. You care about the debate not the politics of the people who are creating. FD challenged people on Platners military service more than any other leftist I’ve seen, before libs came around.
BE used a Nazi slur against a black dude, and then tried to tell us that FD was actually saying Zionist was the slur. We can all see right past that smarmy edgelord shit dude.
Less YouTube and more going out into the world and talking to people, now!
Some people cannot learn and you are one of them. On the blocklist you go.
Oh so now I can’t learn. You know, I actually blocked you once after I said something about Christians and you said “can’t say that about Jews yadda yadda”, and I said sure but I was making a statement on Mormons, and you kept insisting and annoying me that it was the same way if you said it about Jews and even tho I agreed, I wasn’t saying it about any other religion.
Then I noticed how much you post and I unblocked because my page was emptier after, so I sucked it up and played nice. Now I see where you get this annoying bullshit from 😂. Stay engaged in drama slop if you prefer, adults are speaking, if you wanna bring Bad Empanada’s emotional immaturity into this then I say good riddance
Those low quality empanadas have really fucked that user’s brain. They blocked me too for saying that we should focus on criticizing Zionism instead of Jews in general.
Edgelord streamers with cults of personality are a menace to society.
You’re going to link to that transphobe and want me to take you seriously? Gtfo
it doesn’t matter what i think – history has plenty of examples of compatible leftists like piker and they all lead to the same results: nowhere.
Zohran Kwame Mamadani.
You compared him to Charlie Kirk - decidedly not a “compatible leftist”.
Kirk is an example of an artificially elevated voice not a compatible leftist.
He’s not a media personality that is being artificially elevated to benefit the United States though. Both the Republicans and the establishment Dems are fighting tooth and nail for people to stop listening to him. He’s prevailing because he’s not being artificially elevated - he’s being elevated by those that agree with his points against the US.
You’re advocating for genocide but keep pretending you gave a moral highground.
Ah the age old guilt trip from leftists who enjoy such creators as Bad Empanada that routinely espouse anti-trans rhetoric.
I bet you defended Platner, too.
Yeah BE famous for defending Platner.
Oh wait who was that… Ahh Hasan Piker. Oh wow isn’t that inconvenient for your narrative…
Never accused BE of defending Platner, I accused you.
Piker supported Platner before the rape allegations and I wasn’t happy about that, but that’s entirely different than the level of defense I saw from leftists right here on Lemmy for Platner after the credible rape stories came to light. Not to mention the rampant victim blaming.
Keep shilling for BE. It’s a great look. /s
