This is such a wild disconnect, it's truly mind-blowing. Piker's reaction is pretty much what I'd expect. We all know how far gone these people are, that they live in this weird archaic unreality bubble. They didn't think this through, they sincerely thought this would be embarrassing for him. The right wing gerontocracy is so out of touch, its like they're from another planet

They didn’t think this through

If he is controlled opposition then they are one step ahead.

I discovered him when they tried to pretend he was zapping his dog on stream. It was an interesting sequence because apparently they targeted people engaged enough to believe a wall of text on Reddit or a video compilation on YouTube, but not engaged enough to actually watch his channel to check anything. Obviously they found a large audience, but hey Hasan gained a follower I guess.

This is the type of shit that makes the left looks ridiculous. He does zap his dog. He has literally shown the collar on cam (days after) but showing it has tape over it. He has literally been caught lying multiple times. You can see him, multiple times, reach for something off screen and his dog suddenly going back into place. There is a video of it happening and his dog suddenly yelping, which is what started this. "Her claw got caught": 1. Do you wish to buy a bridge? 2. He still barely gave a fuck, which is condemnable regardless. He also used to complain about his dog moving around before the "incident", instead of just laying in one spot.

Just because someone is a leftist it does not mean you should cover for them. That is cult like behaviour. Fuck Hasan, fuck animal abusers, and fuck people covering for animal abusers just because they are aligned politically.

Edit:
There's also this older moment:

He's 6'5" and is an avid... well he's not a bodybuilder and he's not an athlete in the sense that he does -a- sport seriously, but he stays fit. It's a grwat example of what anyone could achieve if you actually dedicated the time to it in parallel with spending 8+ hours a day at a deak playing games and watching internet videos, news and otherwise.

Ah yes I spend my other 16 hours a day to grow

Dude should be selling GOP yard signs, bumper stickers, and flags with that image on it immediately with all of the proceeds going to the Talarico campaign and some charity the GOP hates.

I don't know who this guy is, or why MAGA is so obsessed by him. I've never heard one word from him, and don't even know where Id go to hear him, or see him, or whatever he does. He literally has no influence in my life, at all. I suspect MOST Democrats are like me, and I'm not even a Democrat.

As long as we allow MAGA to keep us on topics like this, we are LOSING. Whenever they bring up this guy, or trans, or Biden, or whatever their wedge issue Boogeyman of the day is, we need to ignore it, dismiss it, bat it away without a single comment about it, and steer the conversation to one of these topics:

Affordability (the big one, it got Trump elected, and it will get Dems elected even more)

Epstein Files: Full disclosure. Trump and his friends are in them

Data Centers: They will destroy everything, and we'll pay for it.

AI: The future is either a permanent 50%+ unemployment rate, or they murder all of humanity.

Flock Cameras: You will now get daily fines in your mailbox whenever you go 3 mph over the speed limit, and they will track you down and arrest you if you have overdue library books.

ICE: They will kill us, they are already doing it.

Taxing Sociopathic Oligarchs and their Corporations: They will pay their fair share of taxes, including on hidden wealth. If they won't disclose it, it will be heavily estimated.

Health Care: What health care?

Student Loan Reform: Sure, just saddle your most productive young citizens with a lifetime of debt as soon as the graduate from college. That won't ever affect the entire economy in a few years, when they can't afford ANYTHING.

MAGA Corruption: Were just going to let this continue like it's somehow legal?

The AmerIsraeliWar®: The Draft is coming. The front line of a war is a great place to siphon your dissidents.

Mass Surveillance: If you aren't doing anything illegal, then what are you worried about? What's illegal? EVERYTHING!

Investigations, Impeachments, Prosecutions of MAGA crime: A president, a Secretary of Defense, a White House Advisor, a bunch of Homeland security turds, a few SCOTUS justices, some congressmen and senators, etc.

These are the real issues, and we need to take control of every discussion, steer them to these issues, and make them defend their record, and their plans for America's future.

The whole thing is predicated upon him training her to sit still for hours on end on stream "like a prop", which she barely ever does. Litterally you just have to watch the VODs , you'd be lucky to find more than 10 minutes of her on-screen on most streams. The whole scenario is pure brainrot and only believable if you don't look critically at the evidence. So this guy used a shock collar to train a large dog to sit still for hours on end but there was only one (1) transgression ever recorded and she never sits still anyway. How do you square that up ?

You're grasping at a few seconds of video (out of the 6+ hours he produces daily year in year out), edited out of context by people with a very specific agenda, and walls of concern-trolling prose that tugs at your emotional strings for some reason. It's trivially easy to make up that kind of story and astro-turf it to death, with hundreds of inactive accounts coincidentally posting their first comment in the same week, which happens to be a copy-pasted list of pre-digested arguments and fact-free appeals to outrage. You're getting QAnon'd in the worst way.

I'd only alter this saying "the GOP's" mishaps because never forget that they facilitated this absolute clownshow shitatorship.

The Democrats are literally willing to tank races in order to avoid progressive candidates winning. I think they are at least a little culpable in getting Trump elected both times, but especially the second time.

I'm not doing a "both sides"--I'm just trying to hold the Democrats accountable for shit politicking and strategy.

You don't have to be it with me, but be intellectually honest with yourself for just a minute. Pretend we are talking about a right wing influencer.

You can see him, multiple times, reach for something off screen and his dog suddenly going back into place. There is a video of it happening and his dog suddenly yelping, which is what started this. He has literally shown the collar on cam (days after) but with tape over it. He has literally been caught lying multiple times.

Would you still defend the guy? Be honest with yourself.

Even if you don't want to believe he uses a shock collar, his treatment of her is still deplorable. He keeps the dog as a prop on Stream for hours on end. When she moves out of bed he will throw a hissy fit. He has even complained about her roaming around "like a cow". He only started letting her be more free after the controversy started. His guests have even mentioned her collar being too tight in the past.

Stop defending this dude.

Edit: I'll also add this (older) video of him with his dog Fish:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FT8ucadGCVc

That is something he did blatantly on camera.

sorry. I said he abused his dog, but it was the hasan that said America deserved 9/11. oh wait, that was "just a joke".

maybe it was the hasan that downplayed sexual assault crimes and blamed victims instead? bet he was joking about that too.

you know, I'm starting to think that with all the jokes hasan says he might be a clown.

edit: why all the downvotes people? are you upset because your perception of him as a great leader is being challenged or do you support his message that rape and murder is ok?

Issue with affordability, is they blame Dems when not their fault, don't understand what president and congress can really do about affordability, so if not happy, they assume voting for the other one will fix. Last time they ignored the reasons for inflation, believed the propaganda, and said let's try maga again. Until the core issue of critical thinking is fixed, and understand how all this works, they will keep following the propaganda on the social feeds they sit and absorb, numb from the artificial scarcity they keep voting for or don't show up. They are too stressed from that to think and just mindlessly feed on the pacifying videos and graphics.

No I fully agree. I just got into a real shitfight with the 'leftists' who take it to the next step and just promote voter suppression, which is not the answer.

The DNC strategists, advisors, AIPAC-backed, 'let them hang themselves so we can just wait to win', all of them are culpable. We need to bring back defenestration for a lot of them. The fact that they spent all of their money in the PRIMARIES shows just how terrified they are of work and how effective and realistic a threat the populist, socialist left actually are.

Right. R's have the advantage of appealing to the people who are so dedicated to authority that they can just lie to their face and the best response is 'why would he lie? He's wearing a suit!'

Dem's used to have that advantage in the 90's but didn't have the stomach for real work, which ultimately is how they bled their own weakness into the open air to target and it ended up being genocide of the Gazans that laid it out for all to see
