The worst enemy of a leftist is another leftist that he disagrees with on a single topic.
"Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”
Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over."-Emo Phillips
Can I get some context? I’m old.
The meme is in reference to a twitch streamer (Hasan) who pushed something on a live stream and the dog flinched. People thought it was a shock collar but he later clarified that it was actually a collar made for training and he said it was set to vibration mode.
In the image it’s Eustace from Courage the Cowardly Dog shocking Courage. Eustace hated the dog and regularly abused him.
The video that I was shown was pretty clear that he didn’t do anything other than look at his dog weirdly because she fucking yelped for no apparent reason. That’s pretty standard for dogs. Sometimes they hurt themselves. And they only defense they have is that a good dog owner would’ve rushed over to her and done something yadda yadda yadda. Same shit happens to children, and I wouldn’t blame a parent for looking at their child after they said ouch to make sure they were okay, and when they look like they’re okay, continuing with what they’re doing.
It was such a nontroversy it took three months after it happened for people to even think it happened, and this hitpiece was pushed by the dumbest fucking morons around. I’m still baffled that people think he shocked his dog. Like… That’s shit-for-brains level of thought. They’ll send the clip to you and you just look at how the dog moves and it’s just so obvious the dog hurting herself.
He was reaching for a zyn, Kiya clipped her nail on the bed while climbing up
I’m old enough to remember Courage with great fondness but the rest was news to me. Appreciate you, boo. Have a good weekend.
You too. I also liked the show
Jasper Nathaniel, a US journalist known for his coverage of Israel’s illegal occupation, settler colonization, and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank, posted on X: “The entire bipartisan political establishment has coalesced around a willful misreading of what Hasan Piker said in order to silence criticism of Israel. They’re doing the same thing to Mark Ruffalo in Hollywood. It’s all fucking gaslighting. Don’t give an inch.”
“What Hasan said is completely intuitive. Everyone knows that Israel’s genocide of Palestinians—and the Jewish institutions’ blanket support for it—has created more hostility towards Jews,” he added. “There is no good-faith argument against this.”

I can barely express how much I despise this asshole. He bought that dog solely to be a stream decoration.
That’s why the dog is so well taken care of, exercised every morning and allowed to come and go as she pleases on stream. /s
You’ve fallen for right wing attacks on a political streamer that’s helping get more Dem Socialists elected. He’s actually campaigning with these candidates, door knocking, and fundraising.
Bro is using a shock collar live on stream to force his dog to lie still in the back of the room for 12 hours, yet delusional people like you will somehow pull off the mental gymnastics to justify it.
Even if that was true (ignoring the fact that shock collars don’t work on dog breeds with such thick fur and neck folds and the fact that the dog regularly leaves and is not on stream), if you’re so angry about it, why aren’t you protesting the companies that make shock collars? Or adopting animals from shelters that are overflowing right now because of the depression most of us are in?
Because it’s not about the animal or the care it gets for you. It’s pushing a narrative.
why aren’t you protesting the companies that make shock collars?
Because there’s legit reasons to use shock collars.
Or adopting animals from shelters that are overflowing right now because of the depression most of us are in?
Because I already have 4 dogs, 3 from a shelter, and I don’t have any more capacity. I can’t save the world alone. Hell, if you wanna fund me with a couple million bucks, I can buy a larger piece of land and take care of abandoned dogs full time for the rest of my life. If you can’t do that, well, I don’t have the financial means to do that either.
It’s pushing a narrative.
Which narrative am I pushing? Not mistreating animals?
Got any other right wing talking points you want to push here? How do you feel about vaccines? Zionism? You wanna say how Lyndsey Clancy is going to give permission for other women to murder their children because the left wants abortion access?
What else you got?
Lmaooo, “don’t use a shock collar on your dog live on stream because he didn’t lie on his spot for 12 hours where he’s nicely positioned in the camera” is a right wing talking point to you. You need fucking help mate.
I also don’t know why you bring politics into this. I’m not american. I couldn’t give two fucking shits about hassans political stance. All I see is an asshole who’s torturing an animal live on stream and people defending it with a: “Oh No ItS a RiGhT wInG tAlKiNg PoInT.”
Some news for you, just because someone has the same political opinion as you doesn’t mean he’s a good person by default. And if you defend their heinous actions, I got some more news for you: Neither are you.
How many animals have you rescued from shelters? How have you been protesting shock collar manufacturers?
They brought politics in because it’s a smear you’re furthering as you ignore the facts and you couldn’t give 2 shits about animals let alone other humans.

Might be hard for you to understand, but not everyone is american. I couldn’t give two shits about the political problems over there. I got enough in my own country.
However, what I do see is that you are supporting a dog torturer simply because he has the same political stance as you do, which makes you pretty despicable tbh.
You couldn’t give two shits but have no problem lying about animal abuse, what a weird and creepy thing to do. Go outside or something, whatever you’re doing here is incredibly unhealthy
You didn’t have to confirm it for me via reading comprehension, but go on.
Might be hard for you to understand, but not everyone is american.

And when did this become litigated fact?
However, what I do see is that you are supporting a dog torturer
Because there was no torture nor shock collar. And you’re the one arguing that shock collars “have their uses.” Except not in this instance, now it’s torture because the online echo chamber says it is and because a bunch of people say it’s a shock collar, it must be. A bunch of people say the earth is flat too, or that vaccines “don’t work” and cause autism, are you a subscriber of those too?
C’mon man, nobody believes your slop.
All of the attacks on Hasan Piker are politically motivated.
He doesn’t shock his dog.
Very cool, nice to see you are successfully coping with the fact that animal abuse is perfectly fine for you as long as the person has the same political opinion as you do.
Shock collars aren’t abusive. Shock collars don’t even work on the type of dog that Kaya is.
Do you realize how stupid you look to people who have actually watched an Hasan stream before?
They put chemicals in the water that turn the freaking frogs gay. Alex Jones never lied outside of his lies. I also heard that the extremist left are having abortions in the 13th month, I don’t remember who said that, I know a youtuber mentioned that some old people that watch fox news believe that.
Tell me you’ve never watched a Hasan stream without telling me.
Who is he campaigning with, I don’t really know much about him, only that he’s a socialist, hated by a lot of people, used a shock collar on his dog and tried to gaslight every one about it and mocked the Charlie Kirk song.
The shock collar thing is straight from the bowels of Destiny and isn’t true. Even if it was true, shock collars don’t work like that and this particular dog’s fur is too thick. This is a smear campaign that comes from people threatened by Hasan’s influence in the political sphere.
He has campaigned with Mamdani and El-Sayad in the recent elections along with other Dem Socialists. He’s also mobilized his fan base to make calls and door knock and donate for them. In addition to being a pro-Palestinian voice for forever.
Why wouldn’t he mock Charlie Kirk?
I thought it really was a normal shock collar but apparently it was a collar made for training and he said it was set to vibration mode. I guess the real abuse is letting the dog listen to Hasan yapping for 4 hours.
And I think Charlie Kirk was an icon. To bad a Hamas terrorists hid in his neck and we had to kill both of them. There should be a fountain dedicated to him. Here’s a concept:
… I think you may be unwell. You might want to get offline for a little bit.
I was making fun of him. He tried to justify Israel bombings of children hospitals by saying Hamas terrorists where hiding there.
So you don’t know much about him, except for the bad things you want to know about him?
Totally not suspicious that it’s a brand new account either hahaha
I made a new account on lemmy.world because sh.itjust.works went down sometimes. My other account sh.itjust.works
You literally put “propaganda” in your username and your first post is smearing Piker.
I don’t see why the name has anything to do with it, it also has wizard and arts. The first post I wanted to make was about jubilee on ihatethisthing, but it takes some time and I also got distracted. My first post on Lemmy was this one
