Right wing youtubers told me he shocks his dog, so I'm gonna go ahead and believe that. You'd have to be really gullible not to believe whatever Asmongold or Ethan Klein tell you. I mean, what do they have to gain in this?
It wasn't just right wing YouTubers who made these claims. Seems kind of dismissive
That's true, it was blue checkmark #freeTheHostages twitter accounts as well.
Hassan believes in nothing but clicks and views. He's a sociopath. Fuck him and the rest of the political streamers.
Fuck Elon, too, though. They both suck ass.
Edit: He did shock his dog and I'm laughing at the number of people trying to defend or deny it.
Also Israel sucks too.
Bring on the down votes. Hassan sucks.
Just because he's saying things that are true doesn't make him suck less.
It’s fucking crazy how well the “shocked dog”bullshit has stuck.
Explain this then pal… bet you can’t
This is an excellent point that I had not previously considered.
Responsible dog owners remember to switch off their tesla coils.
I dunno, I agree with a lot of things he says but I watched that video with the dog and it looks pretty clear to me that he did have a shock collar on the dog.
He may not have actually pressed it on screen, but he moved his hand to it and the dog knew exactly what that meant and you could see it in the reaction.
The fact he seemingly wants to force an animal to sit in the corner like an ornament for his stream in the first place is also particularly problematic.
That all being said, I don't think he should be banned from the UK and Elon should be banned and his businesses banned.

Nobody who stood with Palestinians at the start of the genocide only believes in clicks and views.
Hey look another dumbass on the internet.
Is that the point though? Isn't the point that he has done far less to endanger the UK population than Elon, and yet he is banned and Elon isn't? Surely that's worth discussing?

I’d never heard of him until I listened to him on the Trevor Noah podcast. He sounded normal enough there, granted, that’s just a tiny slice of info.
That and he mostly talked about everything the Dem party was doing wrong.
If I had to guess, because he’s anti Israel, and both our countries are keenly invested in no one having a negative opinion of anything done by Israel. Ever.
I would evaluate if you have reasonable beliefs here. Like do you have enough information to accurately describe someone as a sociopath? To claim what they "only care about"...?
In this case I doubt you do, so it's then strange to be so virulent and adamant.
You're losing and you know it
What’s he done?
He’s a bit of a tankie-lite talking piece, but iirc he went on a boat to deliver aid to Cuba so he’s done some good.
The UK is only banning him because he’s anti-Zionist tho.
He's also a bit of a show boater, showing up to protests and getting all the attention because of his star power.
I'd also say he tends to soften his critiques in person, where he might get something right, he'll not stick to his guns when confronted.
None of if that makes him wrong per se. But the people who have eaten the anti-hasan hasbara.. well they are indeed a special breed of hog
Or rather, he’s bringing attention to the protests using his star power that they wouldn’t otherwise get from mainstream media.
Also, didn’t most or all of the socialist-leaning anti-Zionist candidates he campaigned with win their primaries?
If you have a platform, use it. Dude’s meeting people where they are, not sure how that’s for “clout” now that real change is being made. Why do you think Fox News is constantly up his ass now?

Called out Israeli spying and interfering with American politics through AIPAC and dark money. Israel was also found to be spying on the president and his administration - why would such a close ally spy on their friends? Because they aren't friends. Israel is invading America.

This is so disingenuous of Hasan....he knows very well that he got banned for being anti-semetic, and unlike Elon, he isn't a Billionaire/Trillionaire, so banning him scores points while being inconsequential... Oh wait, that isn't fair?! This sociopath spends 8 hours a day bitching about unfair to his sheeple audience who fund his lavish tastes... You can't write this reality, it's simply too fucked.
Dafuq people be defending a guy who forces his dog to sit on hours in one place and then shocks it when dog wants to strech it's bones.
Fuck Elon and the Hasan ban is unfair. But seeing people saying that shock collar is a ruse - that is an incredible mental gymnastics to achieve. Props to yall ig.
This is the dumbest imagined controversy.
Nobody with a halfway functioning brain is buying this shit, give up
Yeah no idea why on Lemmy how no one can criticize him. He very clearly abused his dog and whenever I ask people why they're downvoting they never provide any valid reason why they don't think it was animal abuse. I used to like him— now I can't.
Anything's possible when you make shit up
Bunch of mental gymnastics medalists put here.
Maybe he genuinely thought the collar used vibration instead of electricity. In any case it is really not that big of a controversy. The dog seems fairly happy.
Its a mystery
