They appeal to and lure in low-information, apolitical types, and then manipulate them into reactionary politics. The biggest issue with gamers is that they are far too disengaged from this stuff, so, when their hobby is critiqued, they become prime candidates for some reactionary indoctrination because they have no one reasonably engaging their concerns while also providing them with critical things to think about within their sub-culture. There’s a reason why many of them think games like Final Fantasy VII and Deus Ex are right wing or by right wing creators when such thinking could not be any further from the truth.

Excellent interview, love these deeper downstream dives! Bit of friendly technical advice - check the light/in-camera exposure levels on the talent. Skin tones are frequently overexposed in your videos, and bringing them down to standard levels (varies based on the skin tone of the person) will help elevate the look of your content. For example, in the shot of Aaron, his skin is around 90 IRE, when it should be around 60-70 IRE. It's something that the vast majority of your audience wouldn't notice and don't care about, but just wanted to mention and hopefully it helps! Also, bonus tip - look at motivated lighting. I'm London-based and would be happy to help (for free of course) with setup/lighting etc if you need!

A very interesting interview

great interview i am in the older demigraphic and follow hassan to some degree, as do i follow you guys, and he is a great person to team up with along with the majority report rather than TYT, he has done a great deal for the left perspective on the gen Z's, you should be a guest on his show, talk about the class consciousness issues we all share and how the different ways we are divided under the false left of neo-liberalism after thatcher/reagan. I think one of the things that was talked about is the the problem of utilitarian nature of materialism which he was talking about and maybe thought there was some confusion on, the ability to spend money on what you want within that grey area i think that you both agree on, is the utilitarian nature of ownership over what he clearly defined as capital exploitation we on the left despise rightfully.

Nice interview, very chill

I just want to add to the expenditure point that personally, Hasan driving a Porsche and the head of ALU wearing Gucci is a good look for the left regardless.

Hasan may be "white" in American standard, but people fail to realize the fundamental differences between white American and European. Europeans often grow up living very culturally different lives.

1. NHS hasn't been cut, spending has increased year on year - You could argue it's not enough but regardless of what you give it, someone, somewhere will ask for more. 2. It has been contracted to the private sector, but that's OK so long as it remains free at the point of use. McMillan Cancer support is a private charity for example... they're a good thing sensible people would agree. 3. The only strong union we have is the rail unions, particularly RMT. it's leader, Mick Lynch has become a leftist hero in recent months. Although, he encouraged RMT to vote for Brexit, and he continues to support it.

@@hustler3of4culture3 Just to let you know, as a % of GDP, NHS funding *has* been cut over the last decade. Yes, more physical money is going in but costs have gone up across the board and in real terms, funding has decreased. Also our population is aging rapidly and demands from this cohort have increased. I also object that it's 'OK' that parts have gone to private sector. As you know from US, that means money is being taken out and often things like wages and services get worse as a result of less money being spent within the NHS.

@@vickiclee9332 public goods are more important than private profit. I agree. The private sector should have no hands in the till when it comes to public transport, healthcare, education, or housing as far as I'm concerned. Efficiency is not the reason we have the government do something.

​@@vickiclee9332 . When the government has been co-opted by corporate donors, asset-stripping of profitable parts of the NHS and other government sectors becomes commonplace. Instead of being services for the common good, in which areas which run at a loss are subsidized by those that run at a profit, revenue-producing becomes the sole objective. Those areas with higher concentrations of lower-income or vulnerable people, or those areas, which through neglect or malice have fallen into disrepair, are left to fail and be handed to private business, to exploit and plunder.

I liked that he asked about reading and book recommendations, I've never heard Hassan talk about that.

Thank you. I really enjoyed this interview. Hasan is a really level headed fella.

Watched Hasan for a while so his points werent unexpected, but what did surprise me is your interviewing skills! Its my first time watching you and wow I'm impressed! You kept pace with Hasan impressively well on American politics and asked great questions! Subbed.

I cynically kept waiting for Hasan to say something I disagreed with, to my surprise it did not happen. I have found another confederate.

Better than I thought

Thank you. Best Guest ever. Very insightful thoughts by Mr. Piker

Was a good watch. I was massively behind so live chat was just strange to be watching. Lol. A few moaners in their though this eve. Hasan's name probably got em to come n watch, large streamers do have their hate watchers as well as stans.

Wow hasan admitted that he is a weeb in this interview

great guest

I love how the Closed captions person perfectly transcribed every little word but wrote "white mangoes" at 13:25 little things like that make my day.

I was looking forward to this!
