Hasan Piker is a podcaster and influencer who has become an unofficial spokesman for the Bernie/AOC wing of the Democrat party. He is openly communist and at one point, said that America deserved 9/11.
In other words, he is a perfect fit for the Democrats.
This week, Piker spoke at Yale University and talked about brining down the ‘American empire.’

Far-left streamer Hasan Piker warns ‘American empire’ will inevitably fall, likely in violent fashion
Far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker declared the American empire is “fading fast” and will “inevitably fall,” when addressing Yale University’s Political Union on Tuesday.
Empires “rarely die quietly,” Piker told Yale students, adding, “They go out over the course of sometimes centuries, but in America’s case, probably a lot shorter, with increasing amounts of violence.”
Piker came out in support of a resolution “End the American Empire” during the speech at Yale that irked conservatives before it began.
“It’s an interesting resolution, end the U.S. empire. It’s interesting because, how do you end something that’s already in the process of dying?” Piker told students, drawing cheers.
“We must manage the retreat of a superpower from the world stage. This is a challenge for our time,” he said. “Because if we do not do this, then the American empire will come to an end in a much more violent way, a curse on future generations that we must avoid at all costs.”
He also suggested the United States “turned against” the Soviet Union following World War II because of “anti-communist fervor.” At another point, he quoted Chinese dictator Mao Zedong’s past words about “reactionaries” being “paper tigers” who weren’t as scary as they appeared.
Here’s the video of Piker lamenting the fall of the Soviet Union.

Oh, and by the way, while this guy was bashing America at Yale, Erika Kirk had to cancel an appearance at the University of Georgia due to threats.

This is why a growing number of Americans do not care when left wing colleges close for good.
