People can have room for more than one opinion at the same time
Apparently not.

“Why are people eager to litigate this incident?”
nobody stans […] abusers
Yes, that’s the motivation i’m pointing to.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Oh, so a different thing from someone qualified coming in and trying to help Hasan understand
How are you coming to the conclusion that they are “someone qualified”? Maybe there’s more to that interaction that you clipped out of the video - i have no idea
Noam Chomsky
Interesting you list Chomsky as an example because he’s made exactly the same arguments about the Ukraine war as Piker was in that video.
I strongly dislike the reaction slop. This stuff is that, sure
If this were true then you wouldn’t be spending so much emotional energy weighing in on it.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I would actually really like for someone from Hasan’s followers to try to explain why this post is not factually solid
To what end? Honestly - setting aside the forensic analysis you’ve compiled for a second - what’s the point of spending so much time on litigating the details of this interaction?
Anyone who watches this person regularly aren’t going to judge his character on the one clip - that’s probably why you feel so frustrated by their ambivalence. Let alone the spurious conclusions you’re so eager to draw from it.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
No, i’m looking for literally anyone you think is a good representation of your geopolitical perspective that might better inform what you consider “someone who knows what they’re talking about”.
You’ve only shared content of piker responding to twitch chat, which is certainly evocative but not helpful in supporting your claim that ‘he doesn’t know what he’s talking about’. I could certainly share an example of his geopolitical stance that I think is well-supported, but I’m really just trying to gain a better understanding of your worldview beyond the reaction slop you keep pointing to.

Which claim? That his dog wears a shock collar? That he used it during a stream? Or that (granting the two previous claims) this stands as evidence that he abuses his dog?
I’m far more interested in why some people are so eager to litigate a political commentator’s relationship with his dog when the bulk of his commentary is pointed at western-backed genocidal apartheid states.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t spent a single comment debunking anything in this story.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Yes i’ve seen you post this a couple times. I’m still looking for an example of who you think ‘knows what they’re talking about’
So far it just seems like its anyone who shares your perspective, including any old twitch chatter or outspoken genocidal zionist, but you’re being a little cagey. Is it willymac? Is that your go-to foreign policy expert? I just want to make sure we’re on the same page.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
incredibly hostile to anyone who does know what they’re talking about who disagrees with him
Hmmm, now who would that be
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
It also doesn’t make the conclusion of abuse any less spurious.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Yes, your well-documented interest in dogs, and not your woefully underrepresented distaste for a specific type of leftist commentary that piker happens to advocate for.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I dont think anyone invested in this actually cares about the specifics of training collars, they’re just excited to have a reason to be angry with this person.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I don’t care
Yes i think that’s pretty emblematic of the situation
You’re parasocially obsessing over a political streamer who has primarily been covering the Palestinian genocide, alongside streamers who have primarily defended it while mercilessly attacking streamers and artists speaking against Israel. Either you don’t know you’re stepping into two years worth of streamer drama slop, or you’re opportunistically jumping on because of your own distaste for his politics.
Either way, the situation you’ve dedicated the last three days to on this account is certainly not worth yours or anyone else’s time unless you happen to be personally invested in the relative influence of this specific political commentator.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
No, I mean the guy in this video.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Nono, I mean the guy presenting you this evidence in the video. Lonerbox is a genocide denying zionist and has had a two-year-long feud against piker.
It should be a red flag that all the creators dedicating resources to covering this slop are outspoken zionists.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
You should know that this guy is a Palestinian genocide denier.

IMO this shitpost id bordering on parody, but dont let me be a killjoy
- Comment on Nice try 4 weeks ago:
Apparently? Idk, the conservatives i know have kinda shrugged it off at this point
That first week was fun though
- Comment on Nice try 4 weeks ago:
Not at all, I just dont think Republicans give a shit.
At least, not enough to effect their voting habits. Trump being a sex criminal isn’t a deterrent for them, but him looking weak is
- Comment on Nice try 4 weeks ago:
Look, im not saying its a little funny, but fascists dont need narrative consistency. Yea, mocking them about it isn’t a bad idea, but dont be fooled into thinking this is some serious line of attack for them. They are desperate to be taken seriously, but dont have any qualms about shifting the goalposts to protect their in-group
- Comment on Nice try 4 weeks ago:
Were people bothered by people asking about the emails?
Conservatives cared deeply, which is kind of the point
- Comment on Nice try 4 weeks ago:
Is it worse than using the US military to target political opponents and deport them to Guatemala?
Libs are pretending as if yelling about this will stop the stormtroopers in their tracks as they drag you out of your car in front of your family. Republicans do not give a shit about this - in fact, trump has already been found liable for rape and guilty of bribing a porn star to keep quiet about his affair with her. This is closer to a point of pride for them than something that they’d drop support over.
Its about as cringe as Schumer quoting Kendrick Lamar in a tweet.
- Comment on Nice try 4 weeks ago:
Just ask youself how much hilary’s emails bothered you in 2016, and you might have an idea how much republicans are bothered by epstine.
- Comment on Nice try 4 weeks ago:
This is the lib version of “where are the emails?”
- Comment on Based and Red Pilled Gigachad, many such cases 😔 5 weeks ago:
Im seeing this just after having a while conversation about conservative Christians making a big deal about ‘finding truth in faith’ after the Kirk shooting and this feels similar to me
There’s this clear implication that the ‘truth’ can only be found through your ideological worldview, and a complete abandoning of any attempt at justifying or supporting it through reason. Any piece of information that’s misaligned is dismissed as propaganda - but what’s especially annoying is that it doesn’t even have to be coherently opposed to truth but merely distracting from what’s supposedly more important.
Americans are one of the most propagandized populations on the planet - but I wouldn’t even put Russia in the top 5 sources of it.

Someone should compile a list of currently produced car makes and models that are free to modify and repair without software locks on them
I imagine it’s a pretty short list.
- Comment on Inflation Outpaces Wage Growth For Over 40% Of Americans 2 months ago:
Just so we’re all on the same page - this is the same disjointed wage growth we were seeing under Biden that we were being told wasnt a big deal. It’s obviously gotten worse under Trump, but this has been a growing problem since at least the dotcom bubble

- Comment on Reporting user to instance admins? 2 months ago:
A mod can correct me if im wrong, but my understanding is that, yes, it goes to all of those people
Ive reported a comment before for breaking a community rule, only to have the user banned on my own instance but not in the community or community instance. Which means they can continue interacting with my comments but I can’t see it or respond to it.
Intuitively, it makes sense that if a user is breaking a rule, it should potentially run all the way up the chain - but sometimes the community rule is far stricter and sometimes the instance rule is. Imo they should make this a little cleaner
