It's how I heard about him, at least. The dog shocking spawned a lot of memes that spilled out far and wide enough for people who don't watch e-celebs to see.
Oh so you're regurgitating unverified rumors to convince people to distrust this guy? Cool, cool.
Kinda funny we're talking about this on a post about Hasan suing Scott Jennings for defamation.
Is this the only conceivable reason to defend somebody you can think of?
Sex is transactional - the post above you, probably
Oh yeah, I’m notoriously so horny for men. Everyone knows me around here for being the most horny for men and only men. I just looooove himbos so much.
It’s certainly not because I’m relatively well versed in politics and follow these issues closely. No way.
This gave me a good laugh.
I don't even post on lemmy much and have seen how horny you are for men/s
whispers I thought you and Daphne were lesbians T.T now I find out you're into Freddy? I need a minute
Clearly you don't understand politics you support. Morality is the same regardless of the side you pick, this guy is a dog abusing nepo baby, that get excuses made for his shitty behavior. That's how you get Cosby.
Hey got any of those sources I asked you for hours ago? Been working diligently to prove all this BS you're spouting, right?
The sexist insult didn't land, so now you're going for the "you're dumb" argument?
Hahahahahahaha
I already posted the videos, and you can't accept what you see.
....where?
You've posted no such thing here lol
yawn. I used to watch him religiously but him not owning up to shocking his dog put a bad taste in my mouth. Haven't watched him since.
Yep, it was deliberate as a smear campaign.
It's not a smear campaign when it's just an actual thing that happened.
Hasan hivemind is alive and well I see
Except it isn't something that happened, though. Hasan has done plenty of things to critique.
Okay? Touch grass, please.
My account is dbzer0, does that make my view of reality more legitimate? You're clearly being deliberately obtuse, but few people fell for the "shocking" bullshit other than racists and anti-communists aka fascists.
Evidence has already been linked to you, though it's a real possibility that you've blocked me so as to maintain your echo chamber.
Hasan can do wrong, he's a reformist and in many ways a liberal, rather than a socialist. Him being attacked and slandered as a threat to establishment Democrats is not up for debate.
People can willingly and unknowingly participate in psyops by being influenced, yes.
You argue in bad faith. The memes exist organically regardless of pro-tank or anti-tank interests.
How on Earth am I arguing in bad faith? What do tanks have to do with Hasan?
I just said that people can make memes organically responding to drama started inorganically. The idea that absolutely no institutional play was involved is silly, considering the level of public attention up to and including Netanyahu's mouth at the UN. Take off the tinfoil hat and touch some grass.
But it was also a coordinated campaign tho lol
Post evidence of troll farms making Mortal Kombat memes of Hasan and I will delete this whole comment chain.
Kiwifarms was fucking full of them, though I would never recommend any sane person go to that forum. It's literally a cesspit of people who doxx their perceived enemies.
