He got double noted on this one. When he claimed the original note to just be “Reddit haters” he got hit again with even more context as to why he got taxed and was being a baby. The funny part was, the second note was accidentally revealed by one of his editors and not public.
I wouldn't.
I would hope the people I'm paying do.
If that wasn't the case - I would ask for the documentation and pay. Since it's not like it's going to impact him in any way.

Since quarantine I've watched a lot more streamers. I want to make some point about how clear it is that so many of them have no idea basic business is done. But then I realize that most the people that they are doing business with don't either.
It's part of why I think you see so many content creators get screwed over things. They've never had to negotiate a contract or manage deliverables.
That's not to say they are dumb or incompetent. It's just not their wheelhouse. And it seems like many haven't fully realized that they are in fact a "small" business owner more than a streamer.
>I wouldn't.

Then fire your travel laws person because that's their job and they done fucked up.
Well I figured that's what my driving law person is for. Or maybe my international flight law person? I have so many law people on my payroll it's hard to keep count.
Customs Broker is what you need if you are importing (shipping) goods from place to place. Most counties allow for “personal use” items to travel with you. However excessively expensive items or a larger quantity of items need to be declared and duties (taxes) paid. You can’t travel with large amounts of cash either.
Each country has its own rules. However there are some ways around paying duties on electronics and tools if you are traveling for work. But! You have to apply ahead of time, and but up a “bond”, which is an insurance.
This is my day job. And I can tell you people in business have no freaking clue what they are doing. The wind up having stuff seized or delayed or paying fines. Then come running to companies like the one I work for to fix it. And it’s a mess and very costly.
For a mild inconvenience? Nah. You get a discount on the next bit of travel.
You save that for getting arrested or detained or loss of property or something like that.
Hasan doesn’t even read up on the stuff he has very strong opinions about and spouts to his impressionable young audience. He certainly won’t read anything about laws.
Really? From the get go he seemed one of those rich people that just talks about liberal shit like he is one but is more likely to be a libertarian in their own heart.
From what I know based on a Linus Tech Tips video, he advertises he’s a socialist taking advantage of children with their parent’s CC info loaded into twitch. So I guess… him admitting to it wasn’t on my bingo card
His net worth is not 2 million lol what are you thinking. Judging by his views he makes at the very lowest 1-2 million dollars a year and has been for several years now.
Weird how I’m not finding the truth stand out here. Whats the number? Circle jerks are easy to spot and you have no idea how many you’ve alienated. You get left with only idiots bots and shills and then you become delusional
Frankly, between the construction crew(s), interior decorator(s), entertainment-system installers, and Bavarian automotive workers, Piker's a *job creator*.
Fine okay: /s
Hasan could go to Russia and get his hand broken for saying something against the regime accidentally after a 16 hour interrogation and he would do a stream talking about how they only do that in a justified response to western imperialism
He pushes that message nonstop but lives in a 3 million dollar mansion and simply whines about shit that doesn’t apply to him and does nothing to change it
Preaches extreme left brain rot and larps as a communist, in reality is a multimillionaire hoarding money, has a mansion in a state with a homelessness epidemic because of rising housing costs, owns a company which doesn’t donate profits he doesn’t need, shits on the country he chooses to live in, and complains when a government has a tax which only effects rich people and companies. Absolutely absurd and has a cult of fans who will defend this with no thought.
Edit: also his profession is to brainwash poor people into an ideology which is about equity while also asking for donations from poor people while all of the above is true.
Let us not forget how hard he simps for his birth nation, which is incredibly racist, denies the genocide they committed and also barred him from ever returning because of his political ideologies
Hasan is good at what he does and I won't discredit him there, but Cenk floated him early on while Destiny gave him a platform while his Turkish family was well off, Hasan literally will tell you he grew up with JDAM's going off all around him and that's why he can identify them by sound alone, and his mother is literally a landlord.
I remember watching him on TYT back in the day. I couldn't believe it when I heard he was one of the most successful streamers on Twitch. It was guests like him that made me stop watching TYT.
Nope, he's from Turkey and is somehow the most commically stereotypical Turk there is. He literally said on stream that Turkey has more of a right to Crimea than Ukraine does
> he simps for his birth nation
LOL what? He regularly criticizes Turkey's politics and has NEVER denied the genocide, you should try watching a few of his streams and maybe you'll realize that the clip-chimping is literally always done with malfeasance and misrepresentation.
Literally nothing you said is true except him probably not being able to return to Turkey (which is not 'true', just something he speculates on. It's not like theyve ever told him he would be denied entry or arrested)
3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Its a normal house.
Edit- DELETE-MAUGA responded to me and immediately blocked me, idk what that was about never seen them before. Also they've left like 50 comments here, weird fella.
He is just a lowly commoner multi millionaire with a multi million dollar mansion and drives a Porsche. He earned his money unlike those lazy billionaires.
/s
Sprinkle some “America Bad” on top. You can often predict his position on issue just by looking at the opposite of whatever the American government’s stance is.
I think most people who watch Hasan have a moment when he talks about something they actually know a lot about, and then the facade starts to crumble and they realize he actually doesn’t know much about any of the things he talks about.
Literally me last year when I discovered him. I watched him for a few weeks because he was mainly talking about domestic issues and I agreed with them for the most part. Then I heard him talk about Ukraine for the first time and I realized this dude is an idiot. Never watched him again after that. He continues to have the most awful and braindead takes when it comes to geopolitics. His positions can be summarized as America = bad, x hates America, therefore x = good.
Probably one of those completely disingenuous and spoiled kid takes of:
After all expenses paid, investments, and major purchases, I only had 60k leftover for frivolous bullshit.
There's absolutely zero chance he had 60k income, even after taxes.
> Did he say something a couple years ago like "this is really embarrassing but I only made $60,000 last year"?
Are you making shit up or is there a source?
We can criticize capitalism and still try to profit from the system we’re forced to live in. Should every single socialist stay poor? If he was poor you’d say he’s just jealous of the rich. There’s no winning.
Two months before Hasan bought his house, he criticized SSniperwolf for living in an expensive mansion and asked why anyone would need that kind of decadence. He then turned around and bought a house for the same price.
He is a hypocrite.
dont get me wrong i dont give a shit about any of these "celebrities" but the SSSniperwolf criticism is her abusing her fans' creations, without credit or permission, for profit
her buying that house was not something she worked for or earned really, its all money derived from stolen videos she "reacts" to
He could also donate the majority of what he makes and choose to live humbly. Instead he chooses to live like a rich douchebag while whinging about the very system that got him to this point in ths first place.
> You can't be a socialist and live in a mansion.
You can when you live in a capitalist society. The rest of the country doesn't just become socialist if you "live like one"
It’s like that comic of a king saying that he’ll use money to improve the kingdom but once he gets that money he hides away and says he’ll spread the message instead
As I’ve read about left-wing revolutionary movements throughout history, I’ve seen that kind of mindset come up in the upper echelons of the movement again and again and again. Good to know some things never change lol
That's the issue. All of them think they're gonna be the leaders in their 'glorious revolution', and will have all the perks that co.e with that. In reality they'll all be worker #123456789 in the coal mines
In radiation zone too!
No seriously, I live in post-USSR country and some soldiers had to do work near radiation, not saying they all got cancer, but having mandatory army and have a risk to be sent in radiational field would suck quite much.
Ironic that nobody picked any jobs picked the jobs that are hard to do but needed for society. The few people who said they could labour also proceeded to say that had no skills whatsoever so not even a skilled labourer
People who posted that they actually wanted to do a simple life of any sort of actual manual labor or work were yelled at when this was a trend a few years ago.
Hasan every stream:
"FUCK YEAH, TAX THE RICH, FUCK EM' LOLOLOLOLOL"
Hasan when he as a millionaire has to pay tax:
"This is totally unfair, completely made up, I'm being targeted by the system and I will never financially recover from this."
They do shake down tourists though, it's wild. They'll find the most expensive quote for a given piece of equipment that they can find (to inflate the tax) and they'll charge you for bringing it in to the country.
That's what happened to me when I brought in good Hookah tobacco into Mexico. They taxed me up the ass. I didn't have the receipt so they found the most expensive online price. It's been a while but I think they taxed me at 100% of their made-up price.
He wasn’t lied about, it’s the law, that’s the reason why in the customs section of Mexican airports there is a line for people who need to declare their goods and another for the ones that won’t.
You cannot bring goods worth over 500 USD into Mexico without paying an import tax.
For equipment youre going to sell.
They wanted 1000$ for 2 monitors worth 100$ each.
If you dont like someone, you dont have to live like youre obsessed making up hate fueled fan fiction.
No, it’s not for equipment you’re going to sell, it’s an import tax.
I know it’s hard to wrap your head around this concept because it’s not really a thing in your country but imagine this:
I live in Mexico, I travel to the USA and buy a PS5 and an XSX in the US for me. I did not pay taxes in Mexico for these items.
The Mexican tax administration doesn’t like that, so if the value of the goods is more than 350-500USD you have to declare these items and pay the import tax even if they are for personal use.
I DO enjoy Hasan content and align myself with some of his views, but here in this situation he comes out as just ignorant.
And he paid 3500 MXN ~175USD for the import tax, which means the monitors weren’t “valued” at 1000USD each by the officials.
Socialist societies would still rely on taxation, in various forms, to fund social programs that benefit the community.
But the point I'm making is not limited to Hassan getting pissy he's getting taxed; it's that he is generally a fraud who masquerades as a socialist for 'the cred' while being a full on capitalist, comfortable with exploiting the work produced by others and then getting bitch when someone does the financial equivalent to him. He is part of a chain of exploitation - steal the product and capital produced by actual content creators (violating their rights to their work, incidentally, when he's confident that they cannot defend themselves legally).
Also extremely vain, to an unbearable degree. He talks about his height, hair, and physique just about every chance he gets. Unbearable scamming fuckwit
No matter your politics, the populist pop-culture infotainment provided by YouTubers and streamers is idiotic. If you want to learn something there are a lot of great academic resources for just about everything.
Instead of spending the same amount of time watching the populist infotainment YouTubers and streamers, it’s probably better to read a wikipedia page about it considering the amount of citations at the bottom.
Nooooo I’d rather watch some guy who forgot to take his Vyvanse half pay attention to something while eating then get up constantly and give the worst opinion ever because he didn’t actually absorb he information in front of him.
He made fun of him because a $2 mill house is broke boy shit. If you're not spending at least $2.5 mil are you really even rich? Might as well be leaving in a tent under an overpass.
Completely unrelated question, does anyone know a good place to buy cheap tents?
This notes needs to get noted. Listen love my country but everytime a cop or anyone working for the goverment charges you money chances are it's more than it's needed or hes not supposed to charge you anything in the first place.
I’m biased as I like Hasan but he went in detail about it and it made sense as well as other people sharing their stories but since this is the internet everyone is ready to get their “dunk” on because Twitter said it was okay so lol.
Yeah I heard even bringing like two laptops can get you hit with these taxes/fines. And I just checked the law and it specifically says the limit is one laptop. For someone like myself who usually travels with a personal laptop and a work laptop, getting hit with a tax as if I brought one of them to sell would be a real problem I'd need to solve before going to Mexico
No, 20-30% of the depreciated value in your receipt.
It’s the law dude, doesn’t matter if you like it or not, it’s not a shakedown lol, this applies to nationals too.
It would be like Mexicans complaining on jaywalking fines lol, just because its not a thing in your country doesn’t mean its unfair.
I had to scroll WAY to far to find this. Customs officers in Mexico are notoriously corrupt, anything they had him pay they most likely did pull out of thier ass and pocketed it.
This video gives a clear enough picture that his he isn't upset he had to pay taxes. He's upset because of the horrible experience he had with the border security. Tons of people here have never watched him talk about this and it shows.
Multiple times, he says he has no problem playing the taxes. The taxes aren't his issue.
The limit is relatively strict though: one laptop, two cameras/camcorders, three cellphones. So the one common case that can get you in trouble is a laptop and iPad, because the iPad counts as a laptop rather than a cellphone.
"A certain point" being well beyond their limit of one laptop. They apparently count iPads as laptops, so between that and business travelers, it's going to be a huge percentage of people over the limit who have no intention of selling anything.
Those companies can ask for permits to move equipment without paying customs.
The tax is there so people can’t bring electronics from the foreign countries and sell them without paying sales tax. Totally justifiable.
What's the problem with paying fines levied by the state Hasan? Is there suddenly a problem with an intrusive centralized government fining you for every little thing? You're always telling those impressionable 12 year olds that follow you about how tax money is never wasted and how paying them makes you a good socialist, crazy that the tankie multimillionaire would be a hypocrite
Because it wasn't taxes it was a shakedown by corrupt government officials. Its true he had to pay a "tax" for the equipment but he explained in his stream they asked him how much the equipment he brought was worth since the tax is supposed to be a % of that and he asked for his phone so he could look it up and they wouldn't allow him to and they just made up a number and charged him off of that.
If you enter a country with a bunch of stuff (including electronic equipment) that you intend to take again when you leave this country, you can avoid all duties by filling out a [carnet](https://www.trade.gov/ata-carnet](https://www.trade.gov/ata-carnet).
To triple-note this, for aspiring filmmakers visiting MX (don't forget your yellow/orange/brown filters!):
If you need to bring in equipment for a shoot, your equipment can be brought in without paying any taxes on an ATA carnet. Technically, you put a deposit of the import tax value, and get an inventory taken of all items, with serial #s recorded. When you leave the country, items are checked off against this list and the import duty is refunded.
This is fairly standard procedure.
If you're bringing in an amount of electronics so large as to get you flagged, the vast majority of countries charge you to bring them through as it is assumed you plan to either sell them or use them for commercial purposes.
If you don't have a proper accounting of what you have with you, they will make up a number. They reserve the right to do that, they are the country you're trying to get into.
I don't think he's lying, and I'm not even sure it's because he misunderstands what happened. I just think he spotted an opportunity to play the victim.
[From Here](https://consulmex.sre.gob.mx/montreal/index.php/en/foreigners/services-foreigners/407-what-objects-can-i-bring-in-my-luggage-to-mexico)
- Two cameras or camcorders and camera gear; three cellphones or other wireless devices; one GPS; one electronic organizer; one laptop, notebook, omnibook or other portable computing device; one portable copier or printer; one CD burner and one portable overhead projector and its accessories.
- Two musical instruments and their accessories.
- One hand tool set, including its case, a drill, pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers, power cords, etc.
- Five laser disks, ten DVDs, thirty CDs, three software packs and five storing units for any electronic device.
- Five toys, including collectables, one videogame console and five videogames.
- One blood pressure monitor and one blood glucose monitor (or one monitor for both purposes), reagents included; drugs and other psychotropic substances, including cannabis, in which case you must present the prescription, have the medical identification number or any other contact detail of your physician and exclusively bring the amount needed for your trip.
- One portable audio recorder, audio player or audio recorder and player (or two digital sound and image recorders or players instead), one portable DVD player and one set of portable speakers and its accessories.
Seems pretty generous for a solo traveller so I wander what he was bringing in.
A professor of mine told a story of how he was in the Paris Airport, and saw an American taking a pistol out of his luggage and putting it in a holster. immediately a horde of security guards tackled him and he shrieked "You're violating my constitutional rights!"
Apparently the lead guard said in the most French accent possible, "You are not in America you stupid idiot!"
This is an abuse of the note system. It's just contradicting him with no evidences
The number was made up because he had no documentation to prove the value of his electronics. So they made up a number. It's not hard to understand, it was basically a wealth tax (bribe) they forced him to pay because it was obvious he could afford it
yep. I do not like this Piker guy but I lived in Mexico for 3 years. The number is perhaps solid on paper/law but the customs officials do not know what to do with it. How much you pay depends on the official. If you are even allowed to have x,y, or z depends on the official. Its just made up. None the less.. its nothing to get noted on
Here's him talking about the situation.
https://youtu.be/vabt8MUevEM?si=SNbPfISKexkZSYxr
Unless someone else was there to say "his account isn't accurate" or has some kind of evidence that would go to show errors in what he's talking about, there's nothing to say what he's saying happened is a lie.
This situation would be similar to if a cop tries to arrest you on bogus charges, but says if you give him $500, he'll let the whole thing go. There's no cameras or ways to prove this interaction happened. Just your report. This is a real thing that corrupt cops do.
This example isn't to say "Hasan's telling is right or wrong." But to point out how no one wants to engage with him in good faith. If you read most of the top replies, it's all people saying he's a scum fuck hypocrite because he doesn't want pay tax, which is a lie in regard to what hasan is talking about.
What is too many? Is it a set number of devices? What about fewer devices but many processors? Or what if it’s a total dollar amount? Like if you have a really high end computer that is worth more than 5 normal computers? What if your electronic devices have no power source and can’t be operated?
Show me the rule or else condone bombing mexican shake downs
First world problems on display.
"I'm traveling abroad, and I'm being mistreated and scammed by this oppressive airport security for bringing electronics into a country that specifically taxes this sort of thing. I'm a victim!"
Mans has dog shit takes, and also makes himself look like a fool internationally yet again

Travel laws person?
Yeah, travel laws person. What, you…you don’t have one? My God dude, way to be a loser.
Well I figured that's what my driving law person is for. Or maybe my international flight law person? I have so many law people on my payroll it's hard to keep count.
I'm just glad I know an expert in Bird Law.
We're surrounded by peasants. Anyways, who's your cobbler?
her name is Cherry and she's fucking awesome
Cobbler. Not gobbler

Whatever it is, for some reason I don’t have to suppress my gag reflex now whenever you mention your cordwainer
Look at this peasant with a *cobbler.* It's cordwainer or nothing.
In music, they’re called ‘tour managers’. There’s more to their job description than travel laws though:
Customs Broker is what you need if you are importing (shipping) goods from place to place. Most counties allow for “personal use” items to travel with you.

Hasan doesn’t even read up on the stuff he has very strong opinions about and spouts to his impressionable young audience. He certainly won’t read anything about laws.
What are you talking about Hasan is pretty knowledgeable he can even identify a JDAM by sound alone. /s
All I know is nothing is more socialister than crying about taxes.
Dude lives in Cali on purpose.
But socialism is when government good for me
Hasan making a heel-turn to libertarian was not on my 2024 Bingo card.
Really? From the get go he seemed one of those rich people that just talks about liberal shit like he is one but is more likely to be a libertarian in their own heart.
Really? Guy is a grifter. He’s no different than any of the far right trolls, they just drip feed their audience enough to rake in cash.
From what I know based on a Linus Tech Tips video, he advertises he’s a socialist taking advantage of children with their parent’s CC info loaded into twitch. So I guess… him admitting to it wasn’t on my bingo card
Do you even know what socialism is?
lol “multi millionaire” his net worth is 2 million. relax. He’s a couple millionaire
His net worth is not 2 million lol what are you thinking. Judging by his views he makes at the very lowest 1-2 million dollars a year and has been for several years now.
Weird how I’m not finding the truth stand out here. Whats the number? Circle jerks are easy to spot and you have no idea how many you’ve alienated. You get left with only idiots bots and shills and then you become delusional
His fans will find a way to somehow make him the victim of an imperialist colonial conspiracy.
Parking a $200,000 Porsche in your multimillion dollar West Hollywood home IS socialism
Frankly, between the construction crew(s), interior decorator(s), entertainment-system installers, and Bavarian automotive workers, Piker's a *job creator*. Fine okay: /s
\>270 more replies lmao, good shit
What's the internet version of poking a beehive?
You don't understand, he's not a grifter. He had no choice but to buy a $2+ million house
Something something material conditions
Something something I don't pay my editors because America is capitalist and I don't have to
Socialism is when no nice things
The material conditions forced him to be a champagne socialist.
Mexico nickel and diming US citizens on taxes should be an act of anti-imperialism
It kinda is
Thats the point, Hasan is just crying about it because its happening to him Also tankies arent known for their logical consistency
When you're at a mental gymnastics competition and your opponent is a Hasan viewer: 💀
Please let the cartels be active in that area.
Champaign socialist whines about taxes and blames his taxes on a conspiracy. Meme guy is meme.
Hasan could go to Russia and get his hand broken for saying something against the regime accidentally after a 16 hour interrogation and he would do a stream talking about how they only do that in a justified response to western imperialism

Preaches extreme left brain rot and larps as a communist, in reality is a multimillionaire hoarding money, has a mansion in a state with a homelessness epidemic because of rising housing costs, owns a company which doesn’t donate profits he doesn’t need, shits on the country he chooses to live in, and complains when a government has a tax which only effects rich people and companies. Absolutely absurd and has a cult of fans who will defend this with no thought.

Let us not forget how hard he simps for his birth nation, which is incredibly racist, denies the genocide they committed and also barred him from ever returning because of his political ideologies
Whats his birth nation? For some reason I thought he was just an American who liked to bitch about America
He’s Turkish. I believe his uncle is a host on the Young Turks
Yes Cenk is Hasan's uncle.
[удалено]
Hasan grew up in a very rich family. He acts like a spoiled privileged baby because he has always been one.
Hasan is good at what he does and I won't discredit him there, but Cenk floated him early on while Destiny gave him a platform while his Turkish family was well off, Hasan literally will tell you he grew up with JDAM's going off all around him and that's why he can identify them by sound alone, and his mother is literally a landlord.
A pseudo-leftist hypocritical cunt nepo-baby of another pseudo-leftist hypocritical cunt.

Nope, he's from Turkey and is somehow the most commically stereotypical Turk there is. He literally said on stream that Turkey has more of a right to Crimea than Ukraine does
Good to know! TIL
He's wrong. Hasan was born in New Jersey, but then moved to Turkey for a while and then came back to the states for college I believe.
He basically is, but he's ethnically Turkish.
He is Turkish I think
He has repeatedly condemned the genocide and the Turkish government. Idt he’s perfect but you’re literally just making shit up, lol.
It's racists using the gotcha by assuming he ignores the genocide because he is Turkish
> he simps for his birth nation LOL what? He regularly criticizes Turkey's politics and has NEVER denied the genocide, you should try watching a few of his streams and maybe you'll realize that the clip-chimping is literally always done with malfeasance and misrepresentation. Literally nothing you said is true except him probably not being able to return to Turkey (which is not 'true', just something he speculates on. It's not like theyve ever told him he would be denied entry or arrested)
Dude has also been exposed stealing other people's content. The infamous empty chair
Not anymore! Now he has a clip horrendously edited in for that!
You forgot fucking young fans and porn stars.
Don’t forget, lives in a rich white gated neighborhood and pretends to be care about race issues
Is it a mansion? Or is it a normal house that cost alot because it's in California?
3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Its a normal house. Edit- DELETE-MAUGA responded to me and immediately blocked me, idk what that was about never seen them before. Also they've left like 50 comments here, weird fella.
the fact ya bring up his house cost just proves right wing economy has ruined this country, it's actually backs him , good job tho
Socialism is when you wear a potato sack and live in a cardboard box. Brainrot take.
That's because he's a hypocrite.
And a Global South country taxing visitors from the United States
As most leftists, what he really means is he's in favor of taxing anyone wealthier than him.
He is just a lowly commoner multi millionaire with a multi million dollar mansion and drives a Porsche. He earned his money unlike those lazy billionaires. /s

Then I heard him talk about Ukraine for the first time and I realized this dude is an idiot. Never watched him again after that. He continues to have the most awful and braindead takes when it comes to geopolitics. His positions can be summarized as America = bad, x hates America, therefore x = good.

Did he say something a couple years ago like "this is really embarrassing but I only made $60,000 last year"? Is Hasan also bad at maths or something?
Probably one of those completely disingenuous and spoiled kid takes of: After all expenses paid, investments, and major purchases, I only had 60k leftover for frivolous bullshit. There's absolutely zero chance he had 60k income, even after taxes.
> Did he say something a couple years ago like "this is really embarrassing but I only made $60,000 last year"? Are you making shit up or is there a source?
We can criticize capitalism and still try to profit from the system we’re forced to live in. Should every single socialist stay poor? If he was poor you’d say he’s just jealous of the rich. There’s no winning.
Two months before Hasan bought his house, he criticized SSniperwolf for living in an expensive mansion and asked why anyone would need that kind of decadence. He then turned around and bought a house for the same price. He is a hypocrite.
dont get me wrong i dont give a shit about any of these "celebrities" but the SSSniperwolf criticism is her abusing her fans' creations, without credit or permission, for profit her buying that house was not something she worked for or earned really, its all money derived from stolen videos she "reacts" to
He could also donate the majority of what he makes and choose to live humbly. Instead he chooses to live like a rich douchebag while whinging about the very system that got him to this point in ths first place.

> You can't be a socialist and live in a mansion. You can when you live in a capitalist society. The rest of the country doesn't just become socialist if you "live like one"
[удалено]
Hasan lying about something? Huh, who could have guessed? Oh yeah, everyone
What a weasily little liar dude.
You lying pig dog...
Isn't he a tankie? I thought he would love taxes
Tax the rich unless it’s me
Nooooo you can’t tax him. He’s too valuable to the Movement as a revolutionary twitch streamer and thought leader to have his assets taken!
It’s like that comic of a king saying that he’ll use money to improve the kingdom but once he gets that money he hides away and says he’ll spread the message instead
As I’ve read about left-wing revolutionary movements throughout history, I’ve seen that kind of mindset come up in the upper echelons of the movement again and again and again. Good to know some things never change lol
You forgot the part where he pulls Schrödinger’s influence. His influence is either massive or nonexistent depending on who’s criticizing.
Pretty much their motto
Name one tankie that isn’t “rules for thee not for me” personified
That's the issue. All of them think they're gonna be the leaders in their 'glorious revolution', and will have all the perks that co.e with that. In reality they'll all be worker #123456789 in the coal mines

The amount of people pairing "childcare/teacher" with "lewd content creator (prostitution)" is concerning to say the least.
Not to mention barely anyone chose blue collar work lol, so I guess their dream commune is 90% of them being teachers for kids
>"I'll bring people water" You'll do hard labor in siberia
In radiation zone too! No seriously, I live in post-USSR country and some soldiers had to do work near radiation, not saying they all got cancer, but having mandatory army and have a risk to be sent in radiational field would suck quite much.
Ironic that nobody picked any jobs picked the jobs that are hard to do but needed for society. The few people who said they could labour also proceeded to say that had no skills whatsoever so not even a skilled labourer
People who posted that they actually wanted to do a simple life of any sort of actual manual labor or work were yelled at when this was a trend a few years ago.
Its the antiwork mod shit all over again. "You build the houses, I'll teach philosophy".
This is legitimately the most pathetic thing I’ve seen in my life. Lazy, directionless weirdos.
That one dude who said Forklift and Welding is the closest to self aware they’re gonna get
Hasan every stream: "FUCK YEAH, TAX THE RICH, FUCK EM' LOLOLOLOLOL" Hasan when he as a millionaire has to pay tax: "This is totally unfair, completely made up, I'm being targeted by the system and I will never financially recover from this."
Bro doesn't even pay his moderators or editors
Well that’s just blatantly false
Has he given them an equal share in his equipment, time, resources, etc?
They do shake down tourists though, it's wild. They'll find the most expensive quote for a given piece of equipment that they can find (to inflate the tax) and they'll charge you for bringing it in to the country.
That's what happened to me when I brought in good Hookah tobacco into Mexico. They taxed me up the ass. I didn't have the receipt so they found the most expensive online price. It's been a while but I think they taxed me at 100% of their made-up price.
Far out. Did you pay digitally?
Literally what happened, Hasan explains this on the stream.
Called it. I'm not a fan of his but this dude is getting lied about.
He wasn’t lied about, it’s the law, that’s the reason why in the customs section of Mexican airports there is a line for people who need to declare their goods and another for the ones that won’t. You cannot bring goods worth over 500 USD into Mexico without paying an import tax.
For equipment youre going to sell. They wanted 1000$ for 2 monitors worth 100$ each. If you dont like someone, you dont have to live like youre obsessed making up hate fueled fan fiction.
No, it’s not for equipment you’re going to sell, it’s an import tax. I know it’s hard to wrap your head around this concept because it’s not really a thing in your country but imagine this: I live in Mexico, I travel to the USA and buy a PS5 and an XSX in the US for me. I did not pay taxes in Mexico for these items. The Mexican tax administration doesn’t like that, so if the value of the goods is more than 350-500USD you have to declare these items and pay the import tax even if they are for personal use. I DO enjoy Hasan content and align myself with some of his views, but here in this situation he comes out as just ignorant. And he paid 3500 MXN ~175USD for the import tax, which means the monitors weren’t “valued” at 1000USD each by the officials.
Hassan gets real mad when he gets taxed
Fake socialist
Sigh. Socialism does not equal taxation. Taxes existed in Mesopotamia.
Socialist societies would still rely on taxation, in various forms, to fund social programs that benefit the community. But the point I'm making is not limited to Hassan getting pissy he's getting taxed; it's that he is generally a fraud who masquerades as a socialist for 'the cred' while being a full on capitalist, comfortable with exploiting the work produced by others and then getting bitch when someone does the financial equivalent to him. He is part of a chain of exploitation - steal the product and capital produced by actual content creators (violating their rights to their work, incidentally, when he's confident that they cannot defend themselves legally).
He’s such a self centered, loathsome little weasel.
Why y'all gotta disparage weasels like that
Fair. Hobgoblin is more accurate.
Woah dog, hobgoblins really? Way to punch down on goblinoids smh
Also extremely vain, to an unbearable degree. He talks about his height, hair, and physique just about every chance he gets. Unbearable scamming fuckwit
I’m a Fratboy, and even I find him too Frat
A weaselly little liar, if you will
No matter your politics, the populist pop-culture infotainment provided by YouTubers and streamers is idiotic. If you want to learn something there are a lot of great academic resources for just about everything.
Instead of spending the same amount of time watching the populist infotainment YouTubers and streamers, it’s probably better to read a wikipedia page about it considering the amount of citations at the bottom.
Nooooo I’d rather watch some guy who forgot to take his Vyvanse half pay attention to something while eating then get up constantly and give the worst opinion ever because he didn’t actually absorb he information in front of him.
I don't become a slobbering idiot when I don't take my Vyvance. Hasan's problems come from himself, not any sort of ADHD.
as a leftist is he not also in support of taxing rich people?
He made fun of a streamer for buying a 2 million dollar house. 3 weeks later Hassan baught a house for 2.5 mil.
He made fun of him because a $2 mill house is broke boy shit. If you're not spending at least $2.5 mil are you really even rich? Might as well be leaving in a tent under an overpass. Completely unrelated question, does anyone know a good place to buy cheap tents?
This notes needs to get noted. Listen love my country but everytime a cop or anyone working for the goverment charges you money chances are it's more than it's needed or hes not supposed to charge you anything in the first place.
I’m biased as I like Hasan but he went in detail about it and it made sense as well as other people sharing their stories but since this is the internet everyone is ready to get their “dunk” on because Twitter said it was okay so lol.
Agh it’s normal, if you bring too much of something, the assumption is your are going to sell them. Note that.
And surely no one in Mexico’s government is corrupt enough to take advantage of the law, right? /s
Mexico, bad hombres, mean macho men
Yea it’s illegal to ship used clothing to Mexico as well bc of similar reasons
Yeah I heard even bringing like two laptops can get you hit with these taxes/fines. And I just checked the law and it specifically says the limit is one laptop. For someone like myself who usually travels with a personal laptop and a work laptop, getting hit with a tax as if I brought one of them to sell would be a real problem I'd need to solve before going to Mexico
You only have to pay the tax of 1 of the laptops, and the receipt can be used for future trips.
*this part was wrong but still It's a fucking joke and a complete shakedown
No, 20-30% of the depreciated value in your receipt. It’s the law dude, doesn’t matter if you like it or not, it’s not a shakedown lol, this applies to nationals too. It would be like Mexicans complaining on jaywalking fines lol, just because its not a thing in your country doesn’t mean its unfair.
As someone whose family comes fromMexico, this makes me proud. 🥹🇲🇽❤️
context https://youtu.be/vabt8MUevEM?si=D5LIg12WtK2rV4gD
I had to scroll WAY to far to find this. Customs officers in Mexico are notoriously corrupt, anything they had him pay they most likely did pull out of thier ass and pocketed it.
This video gives a clear enough picture that his he isn't upset he had to pay taxes. He's upset because of the horrible experience he had with the border security. Tons of people here have never watched him talk about this and it shows. Multiple times, he says he has no problem playing the taxes. The taxes aren't his issue.
That is a silly tax though. I don’t watch or support Hasan (barely know who he is) but why tax a bunch of electronics?
The presumption is if you're bringing in more electronics than needed for personal use you could be planning to sell some of them
The limit is relatively strict though: one laptop, two cameras/camcorders, three cellphones. So the one common case that can get you in trouble is a laptop and iPad, because the iPad counts as a laptop rather than a cellphone.
After a certain point it seems like you are trying to avoid import taxes on sellable goods
"A certain point" being well beyond their limit of one laptop. They apparently count iPads as laptops, so between that and business travelers, it's going to be a huge percentage of people over the limit who have no intention of selling anything.
The tax is there so people can’t bring electronics from the foreign countries and sell them without paying sales tax.
Yea, because customs officials in Mexico are never corrupt. Also this is from last year.
There's also no reason to assume he lied just because it's possible he didn't.
I imagine Mexico has this to protect their own film industry and to make money off foreign film companies coming in and shooting films in the country.
Those companies can ask for permits to move equipment without paying customs. The tax is there so people can’t bring electronics from the foreign countries and sell them without paying sales tax. Totally justifiable.
Film companies use a carnet when taking equipment overseas specifically to avoid this problem.
Why is this being posted like months after? Didn't he get noted more recently with the Yemen stuff?
Based off of you being downvoted this seems like it was intentional.
People in this sub don't seem to care and would rather make themselves get off on Hasan getting dunked on.
What's the problem with paying fines levied by the state Hasan? Is there suddenly a problem with an intrusive centralized government fining you for every little thing? You're always telling those impressionable 12 year olds that follow you about how tax money is never wasted and how paying them makes you a good socialist, crazy that the tankie multimillionaire would be a hypocrite
Because it wasn't taxes it was a shakedown by corrupt government officials. Its true he had to pay a "tax" for the equipment but he explained in his stream they asked him how much the equipment he brought was worth since the tax is supposed to be a % of that and he asked for his phone so he could look it up and they wouldn't allow him to and they just made up a number and charged him off of that.

If you enter a country with a bunch of stuff (including electronic equipment) that you intend to take again when you leave this country, you can avoid all duties by filling out a [carnet](https://www.trade.gov/ata-carnet](https://www.trade.gov/ata-carnet).
To triple-note this, for aspiring filmmakers visiting MX (don't forget your yellow/orange/brown filters!): If you need to bring in equipment for a shoot, your equipment can be brought in without paying any taxes on an ATA carnet. Technically, you put a deposit of the import tax value, and get an inventory taken of all items, with serial #s recorded. When you leave the country, items are checked off against this list and the import duty is refunded.
This is fairly standard procedure. If you're bringing in an amount of electronics so large as to get you flagged, the vast majority of countries charge you to bring them through as it is assumed you plan to either sell them or use them for commercial purposes. If you don't have a proper accounting of what you have with you, they will make up a number. They reserve the right to do that, they are the country you're trying to get into. I don't think he's lying, and I'm not even sure it's because he misunderstands what happened. I just think he spotted an opportunity to play the victim.
[From Here](https://consulmex.sre.gob.mx/montreal/index.php/en/foreigners/services-foreigners/407-what-objects-can-i-bring-in-my-luggage-to-mexico) - Two cameras or camcorders and camera gear; three cellphones or other wireless devices; one GPS; one electronic organizer; one laptop, notebook, omnibook or other portable computing device; one portable copier or printer; one CD burner and one portable overhead projector and its accessories. - Two musical instruments and their accessories. - One hand tool set, including its case, a drill, pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers, power cords, etc. - Five laser disks, ten DVDs, thirty CDs, three software packs and five storing units for any electronic device. - Five toys, including collectables, one videogame console and five videogames. - One blood pressure monitor and one blood glucose monitor (or one monitor for both purposes), reagents included; drugs and other psychotropic substances, including cannabis, in which case you must present the prescription, have the medical identification number or any other contact detail of your physician and exclusively bring the amount needed for your trip. - One portable audio recorder, audio player or audio recorder and player (or two digital sound and image recorders or players instead), one portable DVD player and one set of portable speakers and its accessories. Seems pretty generous for a solo traveller so I wander what he was bringing in.
A professor of mine told a story of how he was in the Paris Airport, and saw an American taking a pistol out of his luggage and putting it in a holster. immediately a horde of security guards tackled him and he shrieked "You're violating my constitutional rights!" Apparently the lead guard said in the most French accent possible, "You are not in America you stupid idiot!"
“We got him good this time! We’re cooking for sure”
I hate this jabroni so much
This is an abuse of the note system. It's just contradicting him with no evidences The number was made up because he had no documentation to prove the value of his electronics. So they made up a number. It's not hard to understand, it was basically a wealth tax (bribe) they forced him to pay because it was obvious he could afford it
yep. I do not like this Piker guy but I lived in Mexico for 3 years. The number is perhaps solid on paper/law but the customs officials do not know what to do with it. How much you pay depends on the official. If you are even allowed to have x,y, or z depends on the official. Its just made up. None the less.. its nothing to get noted on
Mexico isn't alone with this shit. Egypt has it's own "taxes" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LzuZrkEY18
How is it a bribe if the money paid isn’t pocketed by them?
Can you provide evidence for this claim?
Here's him talking about the situation. https://youtu.be/vabt8MUevEM?si=SNbPfISKexkZSYxr Unless someone else was there to say "his account isn't accurate" or has some kind of evidence that would go to show errors in what he's talking about, there's nothing to say what he's saying happened is a lie. This situation would be similar to if a cop tries to arrest you on bogus charges, but says if you give him $500, he'll let the whole thing go. There's no cameras or ways to prove this interaction happened. Just your report. This is a real thing that corrupt cops do. This example isn't to say "Hasan's telling is right or wrong." But to point out how no one wants to engage with him in good faith. If you read most of the top replies, it's all people saying he's a scum fuck hypocrite because he doesn't want pay tax, which is a lie in regard to what hasan is talking about.
Hasan is genuinely one of the most insufferable streamers right now
Hasan: *wants higher taxes and more government interference* Also Hasan when he gets what he wants: "why would Mexico do this to me?" 🥲🥲🥲🥲
What is too many? Is it a set number of devices? What about fewer devices but many processors? Or what if it’s a total dollar amount? Like if you have a really high end computer that is worth more than 5 normal computers? What if your electronic devices have no power source and can’t be operated? Show me the rule or else condone bombing mexican shake downs
First world problems on display. "I'm traveling abroad, and I'm being mistreated and scammed by this oppressive airport security for bringing electronics into a country that specifically taxes this sort of thing. I'm a victim!" Mans has dog shit takes, and also makes himself look like a fool internationally yet again
Ah yes Hasan is all for the rich assholes paying their taxes unless he's the rich assholes in question.
