## Resource

Trevor and Eugene sit down with streamer and political commentator Hasan Piker for a conversation about modern politics, internet culture, and the realities of building a massive audience in an increasingly divided world. From the growing friction between establishment Democrats and the progressive left to the strange experience of becoming a political figure online, Hasan shares what it’s like taking criticism from just about every direction. Along the way, the trio get into South African politics, generational divides in leadership, and the very real federal subpoena he found waiting for him the last time he got home.
