        Haha the “smear campaign”. This guy can do no wrong. It’s a cult. Explain the difference between Hassan fans and Maga? They’re the same. It’s the same.

        Remember: this the guy that said “Crimea, more like cry me a river” and that “Ukraine deserved to be invaded because they speak the same language”. What a sociopathic dumbass. He really is the “Joe Rogan of the left”

          1. You’re shifting the goalpost because the initial claim about him shocking his dog is not true.
          2. When do you think Crimea will be reunified with Ukraine? It’s a realpolitik reality, not an endorsement.
          3. He’s never been pro Russia in this conflict, but has given the Russian perspective and is very anti nato despite that.

          You don’t care though, you’ve been fed the most controversial clips, usually out of context, shown to get you worked up against a leftist perspective.

            The dog has been picked apart to death. I don’t care about it. There is mountains of evidence he shocked Kaya.

            He may not be pro Russia, but his takes are so superficial and ignorant. The way he demeans the struggle of Ukrainians is also sociopathic and callous. But again, he’s just a rage bait farmer. He and Joe Rogan are part of the same club. You don’t like that someone is calling him out. Some day you’ll grow out of Hassans dropout frat boy college takes. He’s an imbecile

          Ukraine deserved to be invaded because they speak the same language”

          This sounds like one of those “filtered through an alternate reality” type accusations and I’d love to see the origin

              lol really cuz I’ve watched a lot of him saying straight up he doesn’t support Russian invasion of Ukraine he just also has further political analysis that’s not just “Putin is an evil commie that wants to kill every Ukrainian”. I’m not gonna link anything cuz I’m lazy today but you can’t lie to me about that shit dawg.

              sidebar: I used to work in the dog grooming business, the amount of people who keep shockingly (pun intended) poor levels of care of their dogs & think it’s normal aren’t even half the standard Hasan has for that dog. That dog is pampered like old money. I can tell. You can see the health in a dog like that just by looking at it. Ppl keep doodles and huskies un-brushed in their 2nd floor / tiny ass apartments, literal dog shit all over the floor, & then say this rich dude abuses his dog 😂😂

                Yes, he pivoted on Russia. His takes are still superficial. That’s my point. I don’t care who he supports. He’s just an imbecile and speaks callously about entire people.

                So if I pamper my dog, I can shock him too? What even is this logic?? Yea, rich man can pamper dog. Wow.

                  I mean, people say he speaks callously and then come at people like me about his dog. lol. There’s a huge difference between shocking and vibrating. You’d be shocked to see how many people have those prong collars on their dogs and they are too tight. That’s straight up abuse. When you talk like that it shows you don’t know anything about these tools, and you also care way too much about Hasan.

                    I care about political disengagement and voter apathy. That’s one of the many reasons people right now are being marched into detention centers illegally. Hassan farms rage and apathy in the same manner Alex Jones farms anti-establishment sentiment to sell hair loss pills.

                    I didn’t come at you at all. In fact I’ve done my best to keep this as impersonal as possible. The evidence for the shock collar is overwhelming, but honestly, that’s the least of his despicable character flaws.

          I don’t see what people see in him tbh. He’s kinda meh as a political commentator for the celebrity status he has. It’s interesting how the left will circle the wagons around him like no other. But collargate did seem signal boosted.

            He’s accessible, I’m not into his content but I see the appeal. As for the parasociality many people have with him, it’s possible he was the beginning of their radicalization. I don’t know enough about Hasan to engage one way or another.

      No you have that mixed up. He is the anti-zionist leftist in a MAGA body that gets smeared by elite libs and fash (also libs) for his ML political views. Really good propagandist imo

                I work as an independent contractor. But I don’t relish in extreme opulence, frivolous designer brand products, while espousing to speak about socialism for the common man. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Yes, we all participate in capitalism. No one compelled Hassan to buy a Porsche, or designer brand clothes. There’s the necessity of participating in capitalism… Then there’s Hassan and extreme opulence and decadence. The fact that you can’t understand this distinction is all I need to know about Hassan followers

                  As someone who makes less than 20k a year, why do you care so much about someone else’s opulence? Follow up, if you don’t like him, Why do you comment about Hasan in general? Does it really matter that much?

                  I feel the same way about some of my favorite musicians, rappers especially, but at the end of the day it doesn’t do shit for me to pay mind to Trent Reznors paychecks. I like the media that he provides for me, I listen to it for free and that’s that.

                  Same with Hasan. It’s just entertainment. Getting your panties in such a twist over rich YouTubers being libbed up isn’t entertaining to me so I chose to listen to the media I like. Same goes for any lefty podcaster, deprogram, brace Belsen, empanada. They arent revolutionaries, they’re podcasters. Entertainment, media, and I treat them as such.

                    Unlike Trent Reznor, Hassan lives as an opposition force to whatever the establishment represents. He actively spreads cynicism and voter apathy, because he is the equivalent of Alex Jones. He drives his influence from farming anger; in order to sustain that he cant redirect his efforts towards effective actions because that would undermine his revenue stream. Trent Reznor is a genius that makes art. Hassan is part of the movement that is walking people into detention centers.

                    Their (stupid) argument is that helping Hasan through twitch makes bezos wealthier. We’re not allowed to make money or engage in anything owned by big capitalists even if there’s no alternative or we’re just helping the enemy. We should just will an independent economy into existence.
