Nah. I’d burn through every last one of you for whatever you have to offer that aligns with my goals, and take the wins over my enemies where I can get them. If that win means my enemy is destroyed and I have to fight you on the other side, we’ll deal with that when we get there. If the fight results in both of you destroying one another; fuck yeah, the path forward has been cleared.

You sound decidedly sociopathetic. Good job.

What happened to the suggestion I compromise now and deal with him later? Those are your words.

You’re deliberately not walking the talk, because if you were, you weren’t be here discrediting the guy because of one thing you found problematic about him without considering the bigger picture.

Being asked to be a better human by treating your dog like it’s another living being instead of an object that has some reciprocal obligation to behave as you expect it to at all time just because you provide basic needs like shelter, food, and water isn’t asking that much. If you want to position yourself as a leftist voice, expect pushback when your personal actions don’t meet leftist standards. What’s dangerous is that any behavior that confronts him is immediately dismissed as “right wing attack”, “bad faith”, or “discrediting”. I’m not discrediting Piker’s entire platform, I’m calling him morally derelict on animal rights and humane human-pet relationships. Same goes for the people that want the behavior ignored short term because of the “bigger picture”. The big picture is the entirety of the people involved in it at every level. If you want leaders, activists, and allies that demand their personal behavior is beyond reproach as long as their message feels good, all you want is leftist populism.
