    Wild/scary how easily people latched on to collar gate. Or just shows how much people are targeting hasan.

    Especially considering this ban is as dumb as when they banned him for cracker or the Rick Scott stuff. Silly him should have just been like the other big streamers and only say terrible things about Muslims or immigrants

    You can make so much money defending the use of watch lists to track anti-Israel protestors in the US.

    It doesn’t say much about watch lists but it does say a lot about what it takes to become wealthy.

      I am pleased that I managed to reduce my meat intake radically in life without once seriously considering the ravings of Smug Vegans who just want to feel better about themselves rather than actually improve material conditions for animals.

      If your goal is to get people to dislike vegans, you’re doing a bangup job

      There are people who would be vegan, if it weren’t for the fact they’d be associated with people like you

      The negative perception you create is that strong

        Oh please. It would just be something else. If you want an excuse to avoid changing your habits you’ll find it.

        Why should the attitude of vegans even matter? “Somebody who supports your rights was rude to me once so now I won’t support yours.” Is that your principle?

              But also, as a vegan, annoying vegans aren’t doing anything to help. Almost no one will change because they’re being yelled at. Doesn’t mean what they’re saying is factually or morally wrong, it’s just not effective at accomplishing the stated goal of animal liberation.

      I don’t watch Hasan but I’m smart enough to see when whingy, bad-faith hate-watchers are attempting to blow something dumb out of proportion to get naive people to go “ANIMAL ABUSE” as a huge distraction from actual issues.

      As long as our population keeps getting distracted and bickering about bullshit like this, we will never unify and have community again.

          The fascists hate him because he encourages activism, whether or not he’s doing it for money, it does work and gets people charged up, and I’m fine with that. He’s been out in the street getting in trouble and that’s far more than most people are doing. if it sets an example for a horde of broccoli-haired boys to take up signs and march, I don’t care if he has a huge house to go home to.

              Please feel free to enlighten me on how forcing animals into shelters against their will and not giving them the attention and time they would get in their natural habitat is any different than jails or prisons for humans.

              I’m not even anti-pet ownership, but I’ve come to terms that owning a pet is unethical 99% of the time.

                99%?

                Cats domesticated themselves, the ones living around people found that they had a higher chance of survival if they stayed around humans. Humans kept them around as they hunted pests and this lead to them breeding more and so we have modern domesticated cats.

                They live longer, they have shelter when they want it, they roam outside when they want to. They get attention and affection from humans and play or fight with other cats.

                Dont know if i would call that abuse

                (From google)

                Around 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, wild cats (specifically Felis silvestris lybica) were drawn to early human farming settlements to hunt the rodents that infested grain stores. Cats with a more tolerant, less fearful temperament thrived, creating a natural, self-driven selection process.

                  I don’t disagree that there is mutual benefit from pet ownership, but I believe animals should be left to their own free will.

                  I love cats, but they would roam outside if we let them. Cats then decimate bird, small mammal, and pollinator populations.

                  I don’t judge those that own pets in a negative light at all BTW. In fact when I visit friends I typically devote a majority of my time loving on their pets. I just think it’s important to remember that we’re forcing these animals into situations they didn’t advocate for. At least to me it is unethical.

          Oh whatever, don’t even play that proto-vegan card. If you actually cared about animal welfare, or just pets I guess, then doing even the barest amount of research into Kaya would show it’s BS.

            I watched the video of the abuse happening on stream. I listened to the meritless counterpoints of Hasan’s defenders. I don’t know what other “research” you think I should do.

              You watched a clip of Hasan’s dog catching her dewclaw on the edge of her bed and yelping, and Hasan being kind of rude about it because he was in the middle of a heated rant. You only think he used a shock collar because a bunch of drama slop-tubers made ‘analysis’ videos claiming to prove that he did with about the same rigor as right-wing ‘transvestigators’ claiming every school shooter is trans.

                He started yelling at her when she started moving, not when she yelped. He keeps her as fucking set dressing behind him and yells when she moves. Whether he actually shocked her or not is secondary to that behavior.

                  I would prefer not to have to talk about this, but this is part of how the alt-right has gained cultural hegemony in the US (at least on the internet). I’m not going to spend all my time arguing about it, but when I see someone repeating disinformation about a high-profile leftist commentator I’m going to challenge it because it harms the ability of the left to organize.

              Hon, this situation is literally the exact definition of virtue signaling. You care more about expressing how against animal abuse you are, over the actual facts of what happened. Which is the same reason I call it proto-veganism. You’re misusing the language of animal welfare advocates to instead be loud about one particular pet issue. (Pun intended 😉)

              Look sis, if all you’re asserting is that the video looked like abuse and all explanations to the contrary are baseless from biased parties, then there is very little I can say to convince you otherwise. I’m sure you think I’m a Hasan lover, when I truth I can’t stand the man. His whole dude bro yelling style stresses me the fuck out, agree with his politics, but I NEVER watch his stream. Don’t even have a twitch account.

              So instead of going through all the points/counterpoints of this conspiracy can I just ask you to occams razor this? Is it more likely Hasan has secretly been shocking her for years, taping over prongs when accused and gaslighting everyone who comes to his house? Or that she bumps her paw against the bed, which you can clearly see in the video, and yelps at the same time Hasan reaches for something on his desk?

              Look, you can make a tinfoil hat about anything you want. No one could stop you. But fundamentally, with all of the racist, sexist and transphobic shit happening in the US, is putting your energy towards Hasans dog really a good use of time? Even in the scope of animal abuse, this is nothing compared to the daily abuse of the meat and dairy industries.

              Hasan was banned for correctly criticizing zionism and Israeli genocide, I truly don’t understand why you’re talking about a dog instead.

                That said, I know nothing about this incident or the random Internet personality that no one seems to care about. I’m just chiming in because I like dogs.

                If your next point is that a shock collar is necessary to train a large dog, first of all you’re wrong about that. But let’s say it is. Do you think it’s ethical to “train” the dog to sit in the same spot on camera for hours on end, for streamer content? Because you’d be wrong there too. There is no defending Hasan’s treatment of his dog.

            This mentality is so supremely unhelpful

            You’re creating an incredibly high barrier for change, which only leads to inaction. The more issues you tie together, the less consensus you can get

            There is always another issue to point to. What about malaria? That kills more people each year than all global wars combined. When was the last time you donated to anti-malaria efforts?

            We should be agreeing on the topic at hand, not attacking each other over separate issues. You’ll never agree on every issue, but you can always agree on at least one issue

              You’re missing their point. Two things we know about Hasan:

              1. He’s an influential and outspoken critic of human rights abuses, which has made him a target of the people/institutions responsible
              2. He might have used a shock collar to train his dog which he might have used on stream

              Even if the latter is true, giving more weight to it than the former seems pretty disproportionate (imo).

              As a vegan I abhor violence toward animals (and humans) and was dismayed when I saw the original clip. But after being absolutely pummelled with bs outrage “analysis” videos, to me it became clear that there was a coordinated campaign being waged to smear him, very likely from those whose abuses he criticizes.

              If he uses a shock collar to train his dog, I do not like that. Ultimately, my conclusion though is that I do know that he has consistenty taken a stand against fascism, and to me it is clear which of those has more substance.

              “I have animals slaughtered for me on a weekly basis and lie about it, but I’m deeply concerned about unsubstantiated rumors about a leftist streamer using a shock collar.”

              Least bad faith carnist.
