Current affairs magazine Slate reports on the Leftist movement’s political equivalent of Joe Rogan: Hasan “Abi” Piker. Slate elaborates on Piker’s origins to the political commentary space, substantiates his trials and tribulations with becoming one of the most well known, well paid, hottest socialists, and proposes Piker’s no holds barred approach to advocating for the working class American as the Democratic Party’s new platform in wake of the humiliating 2024 General Election.
Consider reading if you aren’t familiar with Hasan! He’s opened my eyes to a world outside of Capitalism that has helped me better understand open source technologies like FOSS software, and the kinds of systems that inevitably lead to closed source technologies falling apart that serve no one, charging a fortune in return.
Are a lot of people covering this already on Lemmy? My bad, I should’ve checked. I think Hasan is great and I just wanted to share a good article about him that tries not to slander him one way or another
It’s like the 10th “the left’s new Joe Rogan” headline I’ve seen in just a few days. Earlier today it was some podcast that supposedly beat his ratings, and yesterday it was some other podcast that was blablahRogan.
The left doesn’t need a Joe Rogan, we need less stupid people that pay attention to dumb shit like Joe Rogan.
