Not to be dramatic, but would you die for Hasan Piker?

For some of you, Hasan Piker needs no introduction. He is one of
the leading voices in progressive political content online,
boasting a massive 2.9 million followers on Twitch alone. He's
polarizing, charismatic, and (kind of) a bro. And his fans love
him. Just take this Instagram comment for example: "Not to be
dramatic, but I'd die for this man lol."

With all the discourse about young men flocking to the political
right because of online commentators like Joe Rogan and Theo Von,
some have started asking if Piker is the Joe Rogan of the left? A
fan on TikTok did refer to Piker as "the himbo gateway drug to
leftist thought."

In this special episode, Brittany sits down with Hasan to get some
perspective on what's going on with young men, and to find out what
Hasan sees that the rest of us are missing.
