I no longer listen to podcasters like Piker (or Ben). Their schtick is to raise your blood pressure one way or the other. I don’t need that rolling around my head or coming out my mouth in conversations with family or friends.
I also find myself these days deleting some Substack emails that come over that are rage bait. Sadly, this one from Sasha fits sort of that bill. But here I am ;) ….my wife and I have gotten into habit of listening to prayer app, right after we turn off lights for sleep. It’s a sort of 5min or so meditation on the day, alternating between soothing male and female voices that places me in good frame of mind (gratefulness to God) to drift off.
I also prefer reading! I’m currently a quarter way through ‘The Power Broker’ which traces the rise and fall of Robert Moses (New York). Everything this early ‘progressive’ did was copied by many other cities and States.
What a lovely way to end the day. I love how you take this time to do as a couple. Very important. I have a Bible app I start my day with their ‘daily verse of the day’ and then read the whole chapter. I do this before any social media, which includes substack.
You sound like my wife! She does bible study to start each day. My spouse is beautiful inside and out. But her love for Christ is the most important and valuable thing. It has sustained our marriage through good times and bad. We are also regular church goers, and my Catholic mass especially is like a mini-easter each week. While I kneel in pew after Communion, part of that time is eyes closed and asking for God's blessing on my entire lineage, starting with those still living, and then all the dead I know. It's a sort of meditation that leaves me feeling refreshed and grounded.
There is no possible way I could care any less about a brain dead, self-entitled, radical left, mentally challenged LOSER. Why even talk about him? I don't get it. What's next, an article about the harpies on the Vue? No One Cares!
The sneering, arrogant, insular left is one of the PRIMARY reasons I didn't choose to go back to the mental health field and move to NYC. Therapists shouldn't be activists and yet the entire field has become exactly that. Arrogance and ignorance aren't a great combination and yet they have much of both. Bless you Sasha 🙏
Any idiot should realize that people like Piker start talking about socialism or eat the rich or any of that blather they mean using your money not theirs!
Piker and that barbi doll he is pontificating with are the epitome of narcissistic hypocrites. Neither one of them appears to have ever had a “union job” or for that matter even a callous or blister. Somehow the video brings to mind the South Park episode where everyone in San Francisco is farting into wine glasses and sniffing them.
When you steal from Whole Foods, Bezos is completely unaffected. Who is affected? The bagger. The checkout person. The stockers. Eventually Whole Foods closes and these hourly people lose their jobs. Insurance pays and then raises the rates for everyone else (including “the poor”). These rich sh*ts are stealing for fun, and not caring one ounce about the downstream effects. Screw the bagging lady. I’m against The Man. Commies can’t think more than one move ahead. They should stick with checkers.
But these people aren’t commies either. They are grifters. If the “revolution” arose they would starve to death. I wonder how Tolentino or whatever her name is would fare in a chaotic world where buildings were burning and bands of angry armed men were roaming the street looking for food , and well, people who look like her. They live in luxury, pretend to be philosophers, and grift away.
Ultimately, taken to its logical extreme, when there are no consequences for aberrant behavior, this is the result. It's hard not to conclude that Hasan Piker hasn't been hard-slapped up-side his head often enough.
Of course the ultimate irony is that when these people steal from “big corporations” they’re actually stealing from you and me. When corporations sustain extra losses, they pass that expense on to the consumers. So, every time someone steals from a store, the customers are the victims. I estimate (gut feeling) that at least 5% of current inflation for consumer goods is from increased shoplifting…it’s probably more like 10%, but I’ll be conservative in my estimate.
Oberlin....good choice for a reference. The way I know that school is as the fictionalized setting for 1970s movie about free sex on campus, a basic campus-wide orgy, "Harrad Experiment" which I saw as a 1974 Freshman on my campus in a dorm commons. Wow! Was my mind blown about college life.
Har(vard)rad(cliff). Interesting book. Some good points in it, like women can only have sex with one guy each menstrual cycle, so as to assure knowledge of fatherhood. But the utopian scenario is unrealistic, of course.
LOL!!! That seems simple enough. Never knew that. Another factoid about Harrad Experiment is it was Don Johnson's (of Miami Vice and Melanie Griffith fame) first movies.
I was working to remember why I associate Harrad Experiment with Oberlin College (I went to college in Oregon and had never been east of Colorado). I checked a couple of sources and there is no formal connection. Then I remembered it had to do with co-ed dorms in the early 70s. That was radical at the time. And it was Oberlin that first experimented with co-ed dorms (even to the point of mixed gender roommates). Here is an article on this brand new trend at that time: https://www2.oberlin.edu/175/didyouknow-coed.html
If you check out the history of the Fabian Society, you'll see that elites cosplaying as socialists has a long history.
How do you do it, Sasha?! How do you always know the exact right movie clip with the words to match your theme?
The Fabians advocate(d) for non-radical, methodical change tho....Piker is just a whackjob
Have you ever noticed that the leftist ruling class always consists of rich people?
Microloot, decolonize, and MAiD Hasan Piker and the New York Times.
Just Charlie Kirk him for goodness sake.
He is disgusting. You watched 12 more minutes than I could tolerate; thanks for doing that for us. Great article!
After one minute I quit. These people thinking stealing is ok while they have much and I doubt ever donate or help anyone. Socialists slugs.

So very true. I don’t listen to any podcasts. I prefer reading. Most of these podcasters like to hear their own voice too much.

I made it 4 min before getting sick to my stomach. I just keep thinking there's got to be some karma out there that might drop a big rock on his head.
Or more appropriately, he accidentally steps on a live wire.
He definitely needs a good B&E to his home and robbed. Then see how he feels
I wouldn't watch any of it

I’d laugh so hard if someone beat the snot out of Piker.
I'll only laugh when he's dead
No, Servery Hampered will do + Broke and Homeless, In Hunts Point in January
You need to toughen-up.
We need these Dims dead. 100 million of them.
Shoot'em, bomb'em, gas'em. We rebuild on their ashes.

Someone should ask Hasan Piker what he thinks of Maximillian Robespierre, and the phrase, "a taste of your own medicine."

Agree this is almost impossible to listen to.

Piker, def, A person regarded as petty or stingy.
lol

anything that addresses crime, is racist. Just so you know

He needs a Holiday in Cambodia.
People actually listen to that idiot? We truly are in the end times.
It's their moral vanity that makes them so contemptible.
Why should we be surprised that someone who believes microlooting is good is also hypocritical with his expensive wardrobe and lifestyle?
