  Right wing youtubers told me he shocks his dog, so I’m gonna go ahead and believe that. You’d have to be really gullible not to believe whatever Asmongold or Ethan Klein tells you.

    It wasn’t just right wing YouTubers who made these claims. Seems kind of dismissive

      That’s true, it was blue checkmark #freeTheHostages twitter accounts as well.

  Hassan believes in nothing but clicks and views. He’s a sociopath. Fuck him and the rest of the political streamers.

  Fuck Elon, too, though. They both suck ass.

    It’s fucking crazy how well the “shocked dog”bullshit has stuck.

      I dunno, I agree with a lot of things he says but I watched that video with the dog and it looks pretty clear to me that he did have a shock collar on the dog.

      He may not have actually pressed it on screen, but he moved his hand to it and the dog knew exactly what that meant and you could see it in the reaction.

      The fact he seemingly wants to force an animal to sit in the corner like an ornament for his stream in the first place is also particularly problematic.

      It’s disappointing how well the “question my personal behavior, question the cause” narrative has taken root. Piker is human. He can have some great points, good intentions, and the charisma to become a voice in the moment. It doesn’t make him inviolable. He has his flaws, shortcomings, and blindspots like all of us. He treats his dog like property and a set piece. Want to make him a better candidate for leadership of the cause? Demand that he do better and remind him that just because he’s on the right track most of the time he’s not above reproach. If you just want a leftist version of Trump whose shortcomings we ignore because they get done what we want done; fuck you.

    Nobody who stood with Palestinians at the start of the genocide only believes in clicks and views.

    Is that the point though? Isn’t the point that he has done far less to endanger the UK population than Elon, and yet he is banned and Elon isn’t? Surely that’s worth discussing?

      It would be reasonable to assert Mr Musk should be advised not to travel here.

      Nothing to do with what travel other people have been allowed or stopped from.

      The error is "yes but".

    I would evaluate if you have reasonable beliefs here. Like do you have enough information to accurately describe someone as a sociopath? To claim what they “only care about”…?

    In this case I doubt you do, so it’s then strange to be so virulent and adamant.

    I’d never heard of him until I listened to him on the Trevor Noah podcast. He sounded normal enough there, granted, that’s just a tiny slice of info.

    That and he mostly talked about everything the Dem party was doing wrong.

    If I had to guess, because he’s anti Israel, and both our countries are keenly invested in no one having a negative opinion of anything done by Israel. Ever.

      He’s a bit of a tankie-lite talking piece, but iirc he went on a boat to deliver aid to Cuba so he’s done some good.

      The UK is only banning him because he’s anti-Zionist tho.

      Called out Israeli spying and interfering with American politics through AIPAC and dark money. Israel was also found to be spying on the president and his administration - why would such a close ally spy on their friends? Because they aren’t friends. Israel is invading America.

      He may or may not have used a shock collar on his dog while livestreaming. I didn’t care about him enough to follow the story to its conclusion, but some people identified the collar as a shock collar while he claimed he removed the metal probes.

    Edit: He did shock his dog and I’m laughing at the number of people trying to defend or deny it.

    100% exact same people who defend corporations and politicians. Brains completely ground from all the propaganda. Sad to see.

    There’s many reasons to dislike Hasan (not Hassan), but the shock collar myth ain’t among them. And if you push myths, you’re pushing facts away.

    See Vaush, another leftist streamer. People want to paint him as a pedophile for supposedly consuming “CSAM” (which pretty well could have been The End of Evangelion, except tankies and SWERFs see it as such and want to execute all remaining creators of that movie) and having certain kinds of drawings in his leaked folder a warmonger claimed to be “real CSAM”. All while no one cares about him harassing women in the past.

  This is so disingenuous of Hasan…he knows very well that he got banned for being anti-semetic, and unlike Elon, he isn’t a Billionaire/Trillionaire, so banning him scores points while being inconsequential… Oh wait, that isn’t fair?! This sociopath spends 8 hours a day bitching about unfair to his sheeple audience who fund his lavish tastes… You can’t write this reality, it’s simply too fucked.

  Dafuq people be defending a guy who forces his dog to sit on hours in one place and then shocks it when dog wants to strech it’s bones.

  Fuck Elon and the Hasan ban is unfair. But seeing people saying that shock collar is a ruse - that is an incredible mental gymnastics to achieve. Props to yall ig.

    Yeah no idea why on Lemmy how no one can criticize him. He very clearly abused his dog and whenever I ask people why they’re downvoting they never provide any valid reason why they don’t think it was animal abuse. I used to like him— now I can’t.

    Maybe he genuinely thought the collar used vibration instead of electricity. In any case it is really not that big of a controversy. The dog seems fairly happy.
