    First off, he never helped Cubans. He showed up to clout chase and go on vacation. Secondly, he only donates large amount to arabic causes, probably a racist. He begs for money for causes while wearing D & G, directly propagating the system he claims to want to change. Again he claims this and that but acts like a PoS everytime I seen him. He is a demagogue and I hate how no one sees it.

      During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Piker, in partnership with CARE International, raised over $200,000 for Ukrainian humanitarian aid while playing Elden Ring, with an average of over 70,000 people watching his coverage of the conflict.[64][65][66]

      In the aftermath of the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake, Piker organized a fundraiser that was also contributed to and promoted by other streamers and content creators, including Jacksepticeye, Valkyrae, Ludwig Ahgren, and IShowSpeed. As of February 10, the fundraiser had raised over $1,200,000 for charities such as CARE International’s Turkish and Syrian branches, as well as two Turkish NGOs: the AKUT Search and Rescue Association and Ahbap, which was founded by Turkish musician Haluk Levent.[67][68][69]

      During the Gaza war, Piker’s charity drive on his channel had raised over $1,000,000 as of October 21, 2023, for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, American Near East Refugee Aid, Medical Aid for Palestinians, and the Palestine Red Crescent Society.[70][71]

      During a March 2026 livestream, Piker helped raise more than $56,000 for congressional candidate Oliver Larkin.[79] Wired called this an example of content creators using their online influence for direct fundraising.[79]

        1. He played video games and didn’t put any of his own money up. He used this as clout.

        2. Ofc he cares about the people that look and talk like him. That isn’t being altruistic, that’s enriching your own community. IE zionism

        3. Is oliver Larkin the only politician? Idk why endorsement of one politician makes you a good guy, Alex jones loved Ron Paul.

          He’s endorsed many other politicians, but you were super focused on being incorrect about who Hasan has fundraised for in the past.

          Helping people in the same community you belong to isn’t Zionism lol

      Wow this is a weird comment, I wonder what other gems this user could have.

      Not true, Islam has a problem of becoming militaristic since before the US existed. The berber tribes that took over medieval europe to the invasion by the Golden hoard. Have you actually read the Quran? It’s like 20 percent philosophy and 80 percent bragging about the wars Mohammed won. Feels more like a historian bragging about a friend he knows.

      Wow. In any case besides the other user’s source, here’s more:

      Cuba: https://novaramedia.com/2026/03/16/aid-convoy-to-deliver-more-than-20-tonnes-of-food-and-medicine-to-cuba/

        Because sycophants don’t like facts let me point out you lies one by one. Islamic armies have invaded and almost took over multiple times in history, that’s a fact.

        Turkey and syria are his people he cares about, that isn’t altruistic that’s enriching your own community.

        In Cuba he did 0 donations in fact he is such a fake he is rubbing his wealth in cuban faces and partying. Those who raised that money had nothing to do with hasan.

          He has donated to Cuba multiple times, he’s an American, and he’s an atheist.

          It’s pretty clear you’re incredibly racist. I hope you get help for that, sincerely. The world is better off when people like you get better.

            Same, keep not thinking deeply about the people you prop up. I don’t mind if you get spit in the face and call it slurppee.

            Neither is zionism either. See how your logic falls apart?
