YouTube Mini: Hasan Piker's Merch Drop
Added 2024-04-10 07:03:26 +0000 UTCAndy the editor, has been given the video recording of the recent supplemental material episode and is busy beavering away to make little mini-video segments that we will put out as videos and upload after to the YouTube channel. These take time to make, and various content is inappropriate for video format, but some of it will be. So we are experimenting. We've given Andy scope to play about with editing and here's what he came up with for the Hasan merch drop segment.
Let us know what you think!

It was never very well embedded in US academic writing - at least in the social sciences. I think it is mostly understood economically (blue collar/ white collar workers).

2024-04-15 10:59:37 +0000 UTCI couldn’t find anything on Hasan’s Idealogie site about how he has the clothes made. Union shops? Sweatshop-made blank shirts with union printing? Upcycled thrifted shirts silkscreened by Hasan fanboyz? (I am a curious comrade crone.)

2024-04-14 21:57:41 +0000 UTCYeah, class has pretty much disappeared from American 'leftist' discourse.

2024-04-14 21:21:19 +0000 UTCUnfortunately the Man Down the Well meme has short circuited all possibility of you ever being able to reconsider false consciousness. Poor Marx.

2024-04-14 21:18:03 +0000 UTCIt’s amazing. I was sceptical of false consciousness claims but Hasan is making me reconsider!

2024-04-14 08:54:14 +0000 UTCI Never said he was struggling to be sustainable, but sustainability is surely, in part at least, about preparing for and riding out dips in revenue. Is the core of your issue that he is using anti-capitalist slogans to capitalise?

2024-04-13 22:55:44 +0000 UTCThe comments are great! Apparently you have a misunderstanding of socialism!! It is fine to commodify as long as you use unionised workers and donate money to strike funds!!! You have the understanding of a 5 year old!!!! I really don't think American Universities have been infiltrated by the left enough. They really need to get their heads round class. I seem to have been saying this for 35 years.

2024-04-10 11:50:12 +0000 UTCWe need "your friendly neighbourhood muscle master" tshirts.
Ymirsdreams
2024-04-10 11:49:28 +0000 UTCYou don’t have to rely on my assessment just read the slogans on the t shirts. If you think hyper-capitalist profiteering aligns with Hasan’s ideology, ok. We disagree. Also, if you think this is Hasan just struggling to stay sustainable… again I don’t know what to tell you. I think he would be getting along fine without the new merch line.

2024-04-10 08:54:28 +0000 UTCIt fits so well! Side-bar, I love that movie. Watched it with my kids earlier this year, youngest 9 - don't judge me... But who wouldn't laugh at "you can dere-leek my balls, cap-e-tan". Gold.

2024-04-10 08:44:28 +0000 UTCIve heard Chris take quite a few times and still don’t buy it. Theres nothing wrong with Piker making his presence sustainable. He has critiques of capitalism but to my knowledge doesn’t identify as anti capitalist. He identifies as socialist but socialism isn’t the current prevailing economic model so what is he supposed to do? It’s so much easier to make money as a right wing grifter and he hasn’t drifted right. HP is competing with the likes of Tim Poole and the right wingers aren’t going to pack it all in if HP cant sustain is presence. I just don’t feel selling merch is the same as JP selling useless qualifications. No one listens to a poor figure.

2024-04-10 07:54:26 +0000 UTCOh, and I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout-out to my native language German. Everything has more heft when you spell it the German way. Even an idiotic merch line...

2024-04-10 07:17:32 +0000 UTCThis is just stupid enough to sell really well...

2024-04-10 07:14:54 +0000 UTCIf Hasan is the best anti-capitalists have to offer, then I suspect capitalism is safe for now
