Hasan Piker Tells His Followers to Build Drones (Because Suicide Bombing is Dead)
This isn't Piker's first appearance in the outrage circus – remember his gems on 9/11 or his flip-flopping on everything from capitalism to conflict? But this drone drivel takes the cake, highlighting how online echo chambers breed idiots who think they're revolutionaries.
Oh, look, everyone's favorite virtue-signaling socialist streamer, Hasan Piker (aka HasanAbi), has once again proven why he's the gift that keeps on giving to the meme lords and the FBI watchlist. This clown, who somehow parlayed nepotism from his uncle Cenk Uygur into a Twitch empire of bad takes, decided to grace his impressionable fanbase with some "expert" advice on modern warfare during a live stream. Because nothing says "progressive commentary" like casually workshopping DIY terrorism for the masses.
Piker dropped this gem on March 1, 2026, in the midst of a marathon 7-hour-15-minute rant-fest titled "IRAN RETALIATES AGAINST THE ENTIRE REGIONWORLD WAR EPSTEINISRAEL STRUCK HARDAMERISRAELI INTEL FAIL?!" - a headline that screams "I'm edgy and uninformed, pay me for it."
While bloviating about the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, he proclaimed that suicide bombings are so last century, urging his followers to "Just make f**king drones. You can purchase them from online marketplaces. China literally sells explosive ordnance delivery mechanisms that you can put on a DJI drone. You can buy them at virtually no significant cost in comparison."
He even quipped that sticking with old-school bombings means "you're doing it for the love of the game" - as if mass murder is just a quirky hobby.
Piker, lounging in his luxury setup funded by capitalist donations he pretends to despise, is out here normalizing weaponized toys from AliExpress while the actual conflict rages on, one that started with the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader on February 28 and has already claimed hundreds of lives. Iranian Shahed drones are raining hell in the region, but sure, Hasan, tell your zoomer audience to DIY their own because it's "cost-effective." What a profound intellect.
The backlash was swift and deliciously deserved. Clips exploded on X starting March 1, courtesy of accounts like @BestfriendKick, racking up over 1.4 million views and turning Piker into the punchline he always was. Groups like Canary Mission wasted no time tagging the FBI and DHS on March 3, screaming "incitement to terrorism" – and honestly, who could argue?
Even his fellow streamer Ethan Klein piled on by March 2, calling it out as "helping future domestic terrorists" with "specific instructions." Forums like AR15.com are roasting him alive, wondering how Twitch hasn't yeeted him off the platform yet. As of March 3, the VOD's still up, because apparently, Big Tech's moderation is as consistent as Piker's principles.
In a world grappling with real asymmetric warfare amid the Iran crisis, Piker's hot takes aren't just dumb; they're dangerously irresponsible.
