Hasan Piker, the prominent left-wing political commentator and Twitch streamer known as HasanAbi, made waves at the 2021 Met Gala by wearing a custom tuxedo featuring the phrase 'Make the Rich Pay Tax' on the back. The outfit, designed by his friend, mirrored the 'Tax the Rich' dress worn by AOC at the same event, sparking a massive wave of online discourse regarding performance activism and wealth. The image quickly evolved into a popular meme template used to mock or celebrate Hasan’s political stances, highlight perceived hypocrisies, or ironically label everyday situations with high-stakes political rhetoric. It remains a staple in Twitch and political subreddits for its combination of fashion, celebrity culture, and social commentary.
