Praising communist China is too much, even for a loving mother.
Left-wing streaming star Hasan Piker received a friendly profile from Rolling Stone on Sunday which celebrated him for being a “matinee-handsome progressive icon” who is “uniquely talented at translating radical-left politics for Gen Z bros.” But the article noted Piker’s mom Sedaf, although she shares most of his political opinions, isn’t a big fan of his China admiration.
“I’m not in love with China like he is,” she said.
Her comment comes after Piker has praised China — and bashed the USA — on a number of occasions. During a fawning livestream while on a trip to the country last year, Piker insisted he would never dare criticize Mao Zedong, the founder of China’s communist government.
“I got stopped by a cop who thought I was making fun of Mao Zedong, which I never would and never will,” Piker said. “Mao Zedong is one of the great leaders of this world, OK? A man who changed the entire universe, the entire planet.”
He certainly changed things in China, where his “Great Leap Forward” plan killed tens of millions of people.
Piker had plenty of other nice things to say about China on his trip, including describing the country as “f*cking sick.”
“You have abundance-style consumption paired up with a centrally controlled economy and economic system that has yielded tremendous development,” he raved. “You have 1950s Soviet-era building blocks next to the Gucci store. If there was ever a country that represented the synthesis of the things that I enjoy so much personally, if ever such a country existed, I do not know.”
At the same time, he declared he has “no patriotism” in his heart for America. Which was not a big surprise, considering he previously said the U.S. “deserved” to be attacked on 9/11.
