Pretty sure dude is a leftist. Capitalist media has never encountered this before.
The questioning (though harmless) is often a stepping stone to more drastic measures. In the place where I live (not the US), my local religious police does questioning to make sure that activists are not posting their status online. This sort of measure helps them evade accountability and keeps the general public in ignorance.

There's nothing "harmless" about kidnapping people and coercing them into an interrogation.

Yep, that's some of the harm.
That is true. Interrogations do harm communities to a larger extent than I initially thought. I recall how my neighborhood had to stop everything (such as art, videos, embroidery, food) just so they could avoid police kidnappings. We had three post-doctoral candidates in our district arrested for insulting the sultan (and his religion) and although they were smart enough to hire defense counsel, their lawyers told us that their clients are "jailed without trial".
This is what happens when you gut education, the "regular people" observing this no longer have the historical context of what this shit actually means in the scheme of things during an ongoing fascist takeover. "What's wrong with them just asking questions to make sure he's not a terrorist?"
So they let it happen, and in many cases, even cheer it on.
It's too bad they didn't let him stream it. That would've been peak content.
I have a like/dislike perspective on Hasan Piker.
Hes tankie-lite. Critical support for him in this case though, fuck ICE.
Its probably an indicator that I really need to touch grass that I'm primarily curious what Ethan Klein and Lonerbox think of this.
Man, I liked some of Klein's videos from way back ( idubbbz as well) but when YouTubers shift from whatever content they were making to making content about the platform or others on it I usually check out real quick.
I also can't do 3 hour podcasts where people talk over each other and yell either so maybe I'm just not the target demo anymore.
Its further an indication that I need to touch grass that when I read your name I think of Vaush's editor.
