Considering how much American politics seeps through online spaces you’d have to be living under a political rock to not know who Hasan Piker is. He’s one of the biggest leftist, like actually leftist not “neoliberal leftist”, political commentator online. As for what the meme is referencing, it’s this.
I’m in a leftist group that regularly discussed politics. I know one guy who follows him, and regularly talks like this (he’s the biggest happening thing, a huge voice on the left etc)
Noone else thinks about or talks about him. I’m not here to trash on the guy, hes probably fine. It’s more a point about the usefulness of twitch as a political project. It’s a deeply insular place. Much like it’s annoying when people act as though niche twitter stuff is world news

Kinda the whole point is that we want to think about the interesting problems ourselves rather than having other people do it
