I haven’t seen any proof he did do it either. If we’re weighing the circumstantial evidence available? There’s much more pointing towards that dog being treated well than poorly.
I have also seen a lot of proof that there is a targetted smear campaign against him, which leads me to be a lot more critical of all the info presented by both sides.
A perfectly reasonable take! I tend to have opinions on public figures because I do think accountability of some kind is more important for them than others. I’m not a fan of ‘cancel culture’, but the inverse of it, which allows a felon as president, is not desirable either.
Just to combat misinfo, Hasan clearly did not shock that dog
The comments section is closed with a pinned request of the author shocked he got backlash.
I wish I could follow up with this guy.
Oh boy, I’m a double terrorist!
The word I keep coming to is deluded.
These people, the followers and the leaders, are deluding themselves.
Have you ever met someone who thinks they’re dating a 5 star military general who just needs one more google play gift card to marry them? A week in, and you might think they’re foolish, or perhaps naive. But after a year, it starts to become clear that they’re indulging in a fantasy. They know it isn’t real, but they’ll do anything to pretend a little bit longer.
The scary part is, if you’re dying already, why not? You can’t convince them otherwise because they don’t want to believe otherwise. It’s literally not worth their effort to change and grow at that point. At least from the myopic perspective they’re working off of, I suppose.
It’s certainly changed my life for the better.
The first step to solving a problem is identifying it.
Once you know the problems plaguing, most modern-day peoples are atomisation, exploitation, and dehumanization… It makes it pretty clear how many people you have in your corner. That’s a good feeling, and it naturally leads to solutions to those problems.
Yet we somehow have a limitation on authority to arrest the felon and pedophile.
Some of us are working on steps just like the ones you list. I absolutely agree, every American has a responsibility to help end this ongoing nightmare.
I agree. I can nearly taste it.
Easy for mr big bucks over there to say
What an absolute creep, but what’s worse than that… 2 million views? Really? That many people are guzzling this trash?
Fascism is a cognitohazard. I’m starting to feel sure of it. Give humans any justification for their racism and some of them will take it.
The trick is to reradicalize them. Once people realize the real war is the class war, hopefully, they’ll have plenty of new and less bigoted targets for their bloodlust
Somewhere in this Epstein mess, there has to be some hero who is preventing that data from being released in a modified state. Something is stopping them from conveniently rewriting that history, and I’m utterly grateful for it.
Now, if that could only result in a leak, we’d all be better off.
Good time to start a real progressive party maybe, as long as we’re already fracturing.
True enough. American’s have been given just enough at large to think of themselves as ‘global elite’, and so it’s no surprise how many of us act a bit spoiled once we’re faced more directly with the reality.
At the very least perhaps we’ll get a wakeup call, for those who need it. I hope.
It’s almost like the American people are beginning to realize the ‘Free Market’ is not in their best interest after all.
Fund me Elon. I’ll start it for you. Willing expropriation is the greatest good you can do for this world at this point.
Obviously the answer to populist fascism is socialism. In a world where information is more abundant than attention, this was inevitable.
Feed people first. That’s the foundation of a good government. Anything else, and you’re headed in the wrong direction out the gate.
